Overview

Feel like an island is calling your name? There's a good chance it's Cockatoo Island, now that Mode Festival has dropped its latest euphoric lineup. While you'll be leaving behind the mainland to get involved, don't think you'll be jet-setting to distant lands.

Instead, it's a short ferry ride to this industrial haven amid Sydney Harbour, where a springtime playground will host some of the world's top producers and DJs on Saturday, October 11. Tucked away from prying eyes, it's the ideal spot to get caught up in primal grooves.

It's a stacked lineup in 2025, with celebrated names like Four Tet and X Club filling earholes with future-facing tunes. Gripping the dance floor like few others can, expect these local and international legends to deliver sonic bliss crafted from the deepest of cuts and crowd-pleasing bangers.

Also on the agenda, Floating Points pairs his meticulously composed house and IDM tunes with a special audiovisual show, while IN2STELLAR, KiNK, Skee Mask and Rødhåd serve up ground-shaking electronic performances that exist on the cutting edge of creativity and innovation. General release tickets are on sale from Thursday, June 26 at 6pm.
