Dangerous Goods 6XXL returns to Footscray Park for its sixth edition, and the hard techno festival is scaling up in a big way. After selling out five consecutive events, the organisers are transforming the riverside park into what they’re calling their biggest open-air festival to date, complete with four European-inspired stages and a lineup spanning techno, hardstyle, trance and hard groove.

German masked producer Boris Brejcha tops the bill, joined by Timmy Trumpet, Will Sparks, Turkish techno artist OGUZ, psytrance veteran Ace Ventura, Pretty Pink and Dutch hard groove specialist Vieze Asbak, among others.
For the uninitiated, Dangerous Goods has carved out a reputation as Melbourne’s go-to for harder electronic sounds since launching its XXL series. The events have become known for their 360-degree boiler room-style stages and industrial production design.
The 2026 edition promises more of the same, with organisers flagging immersive art installations alongside the usual wall of sound. Tickets are already over 90 per cent sold according to the festival’s website, so if you’re keen to spend the long weekend surrounded by lasers and relentless kick drums, you might want to move quickly.
Dangerous Goods is also heading to Sydney on 17 January 2026 and throwing a New Year’s Eve party on 31 December 2025 for those who can’t wait until January.
