About

Mode Festival 2024 is a day of cultural innovation, bringing the sounds, sights & community of Australia’s underground dance music scene up for a breath of fresh air in both Sydney & Melbourne.

The festival brings together contemporary sound, art & design at a scale rarely seen in Australia, showcasing a new generation of creatives whose passions don’t find themselves aligned with the country’s more traditional festival offerings.

Now in our third year, Mode’s dedication to visionary electronic music remains as fierce as ever. While to many this still conjures the image of a lineup filled with only DJs, Mode Festival 2024 sees us expanding our live music offering to further blur the line between a performance & a “set”.

This curatorial expansion includes not only some of the world’s most premiere & blossoming electronic artists, but a host of incredible local talent, each from their own subcultures, communities & sounds. This dedication to community & its platform is at the core of Mode festival. A communal celebration where sound, art & architecture merge to create an extraordinary shared experience.

While the news for Australia’s music festival industry seems all too dire, Mode Festival proves itself as a fresh new offering by a whole new generation of industry professionals proving that the desires of festival goers have changed forever.

Mode festival 2024 is an opportunity for fans of electronic music new and old to share in an ever-expanding Australian community, bound by a love for cutting edge music & sonic art.

Set amidst the industrial grandeur of Cockatoo Island & Melbourne’s PICA, we can’t wait to share the limitless potential of electronic music in an unparalleled festival experience for the third year running.
