Subsonic Music Festival 2018

This year, Subsonic Music is putting on its 10th weekend of exceptional underground electronic, roots and soulful music, mind-bending performance arts!

Subsonic has grown from humble origins into one of Australia’s leading dance music festivals. Looking at its 2018 programme, you wouldn’t guess that it began life as a scrappy oasis for psytrance and burner tech house. Anyone who attended those intimate early editions knows just how much the festival has grown over the years, but its bigger size has been accompanied by an increasingly on-point booking policy, which isn’t always the case for regional camping getaways.

This year’s surprise comes in the form of a top-end minimal house contingent, represented by Romanian royalty like Raresh and a rare Australian appearance from Perlon cofounder Zip. Add Klute, Jayda G and Batu to the mix, and you have a lineup as slick as the location is rugged.

Your next encounter with a stranger… Future friend… Future soulmate…

This year, Subsonic Music is putting on its 10th weekend of exceptional underground electronic, roots and soulful music, mind-bending performance arts, and thought-provoking workshops and installations in the zesty green surrounds of Riverwood Downs, New South Wales.

A monumental milestone for our community, our big one-0 is a time to both reflect on the past decade, and to look forward to all that’s yet to come. Running since 2009, Subsonic Music Festival is handmade and home-grown, created and orchestrated year on year by over 200 lateral thinking individuals – the majority volunteers – with the collective goal to craft an environment for underground talents to captivate, for minds to flourish, for souls to connect and unwind, and for spirits to ground, revive and reignite.
