Carriageworks Unveils Heavyweight Electronic Lineup For Vivid Sydney 2026

The industrial bays of Carriageworks are set to become the epicentre of Sydney’s club culture this winter, with the precinct today unveiling a Vivid Sydney 2026 program that leans heavily into the cutting edge of electronic music. While the broader schedule features iconic names like Lil’ Kim (29 May), Ella Mai (5 June), and The Black Angels (11 June), the focus for the dance floor is squarely on a quartet of shows that bridge the gap between global stadium anthems and underground grit.

From 29 May to 14 June, the warehouse space will host a series of high-voltage takeovers alongside First Nations celebrations and immersive dining experiences like ‘Warakirri’. On 6 June, Sydney’s own Alison Wonderland is set for a major homecoming. She will transform Bays 22-24 for the first stop of her global ‘Wonderland Warehouse Project’ in celebration of her new album ‘Ghost World’. This Vivid exclusive is designed to channel the raw, rebellious energy of the early warehouse parties where her career began.

Rounding out that first weekend on 7 June is the return of global techno brand Teletech for its ninth edition. The night is headlined by Italian acid-techno powerhouse 999999999. The lineup, which also includes Cara Elizabeth and Natte Visstick, is a dedicated nod to the uncompromising, industrial sound that Teletech has become famous for worldwide.

The energy continues into the following week, with Sudanese-Australian producer Skin On Skin bringing his ‘FOR YOUR SAFE KEEPING’ concept to the precinct on 12 June. Since moving from underground disruptor to a global festival mainstay, Skin On Skin’s sound has become synonymous with high-voltage house and techno fused with hard-hitting 808s. He will be joined by Loukeman, EQ, and Meanjin-based producer Scalymoth.

Closing out the electronic highlights on 13 June is American visionary Porter Robinson, making his long-awaited Carriageworks debut. Known for his ability to fuse euphoric electronica with deeply personal storytelling, Robinson returns for his first Australian DJ set in over a decade. He is joined by local titan Golden Features, making this a rare pairing of two artists who have defined the emotive side of dance music over the last ten years.

Across these three weekends, Carriageworks is effectively functioning as a world-class warehouse music epicentre, ensuring that the restless and adventurous spirit of electronic music remains at the heart of the Vivid Sydney 2026 experience.
