Electric Island, beaches and warehouses in four cities in April
Electric Island Festival 2025 is lighting up Australia’s dance calendar with a hybrid concept built for both the beach and the club. Organised by T1000 Events, the festival returns this April for four massive dates across Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide — blending open-air escapism with high-octane warehouse energy.
From the golden sands of Cottesloe to the iconic Hordern Pavilion, this year’s edition sees the festival expand into a multi-format, multi-city showcase of electronic music at its most immersive.
Festival Dates and Venues Announced
The Electric Island brand splits into two unique formats for 2025 — Electric Island, the coastal festival series; and Electric Warehouse, an indoor rave-style experience designed for night-time city crowds.
The official 2025 schedule is as follows:
- April 4, 2025 – Electric Warehouse, Hordern Pavilion, Sydney
- April 5, 2025 – Electric Island, Cottesloe Beach, Perth
- April 11, 2025 – Electric Warehouse, PICA, Melbourne
- April 12, 2025 – Electric Island, Glenelg Beach, Adelaide
All four dates feature world-class production, custom lighting, massive LED visuals and professional-grade sound systems. Whether you’re dancing with your feet in the sand or deep in the rave. Every location is being transformed into an all-out sensory experience.
The Electric Island 2025 Lineup
T1000 Events have built a strong reputation for curating credible, exciting lineups that cover every corner of electronic music. Electric Island 2025 continues that trend, with a blend of global headliners and sharp local selectors.
Duke Dumont headlines the festival with a catalogue stacked with deep house classics. From the global smash “Need U (100%)” to festival favourite “Ocean Drive”, Duke brings UK club culture to the coastline with style.
Joining him is Hayden James, one of Australia’s most consistent crossover producers. His tracks like “Just Friends” and “Something About You” are staples of summer dance playlists.
Eli & Fur, the UK duo known for emotional, melodic house, bring a more introspective dimension to the lineup. Their haunting vocal textures and tightly-produced grooves make them a standout on any festival bill.
Progressive house lovers will be treated to Trilucid. A name synonymous with depth, drive and trance-laced momentum. Their set will likely lean toward the more underground corners of the lineup — a contrast that keeps the programming fresh.
Select artists will also appear exclusively in certain cities. Nora En Pure, who performs only in Adelaide, brings her signature blend of nature-inspired deep house to the sands of Glenelg Beach. Her sound fits the setting perfectly — calm, melodic, and euphoric.
In Perth, Yorp DJs offer local support with energy to match the international names, while DJ Souli returns to Glenelg with his eclectic mix of deep grooves and upbeat crowd favourites.
With more acts still to be announced. Fans can expect each city to deliver a complete sonic journey — from beach anthems to late-night rollers.
Electric Island vs Electric Warehouse
Each format offers a distinct experience. Electric Island events in Perth and Adelaide embrace the beach party ideal: natural light, sea breezes, open-air stages and dancefloors that flow into the ocean view. These events channel a Balearic atmosphere, blending the best of Ibiza and Bali’s beach club scenes into an Australian context.
On the other side, Electric Warehouse taps into darker, more industrial club aesthetics. Held at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and Melbourne’s PICA, these nights are all about laser shows, strobes, smoke machines and tight-packed dancefloors. For fans of underground house, techno and warehouse culture, this is where the festival truly shifts into high gear.
Both styles feature the same commitment to sound quality, artist curation and visual design. It’s the environment that changes — offering two completely different but equally elevated electronic experiences.

The Team Behind the Festival
Electric Island is the latest national concept from T1000 Events, the team behind touring successes like Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics and other high-production events across Australia. Known for their ability to balance mainstream appeal with underground credibility, T1000 have steadily built a festival brand that can compete globally in both quality and vision.
Their expansion into a four-city model — with alternating formats and site-specific programming — is a major leap forward for Australian festival culture. It proves there’s room for innovation in a market often reliant on single-location events.
