Get ready to dance your way into a brand new vibe as THE NOWHERE FESTIVAL makes its debut at Sydney’s Cockatoo Island on 8-9 February 2025. This one-of-a-kind transformative experience is set to challenge perceptions and awaken the senses as the 6,000-capacity event delivers two days of vibrant dance music from local and international acts and mind-blowing art installations in one of Australia’s most iconic waterfront settings.Four mind-expanding stages will push the boundaries of artistic expression, with epic world-class production values creating an immersive labyrinth of festivities in tunnels, passages, forecourts and industrial buildings. The Turbine Hall will take punters in a surreal industrial portal into the unknown, while the outdoor Eastern Apron, Red Room and Rabbit Hole stages take full advantage of Cockatoo Island’s historical surroundings and stunning harbour backdrops.
An electrifying line-up of 50 international and Australian live acts and DJs are locked in for the festival’s inaugural edition, spanning some of the most exciting names in house, techno and the diverse breadth of electronic music.
Leading the musical charge are globally renowned DJs and two of Detroit’s musical luminaries, Carl Craig and Moodymann, who are set to wow punters with a rare back-to-back DJ set. They will be joined by Italian sensation Adiel, known for hypnotic sets in Ibiza and Goa Ultrabeat residency in Rome.
