World's Biggest Water-Themed EDM Festival 'S2O' Splashes into Australia in 2026
The globally acclaimed water-soaked phenomenon S2O Songkran Music Festival"renowned for mixing EDM, explosive visuals, and massive splash-movements"is coming to Australia for the very first time. Hosted by established promoters TANG Events and Collective Minds, the festival has confirmed it will land in Brisbane on Saturday 28 February 2026, bringing its signature blend of music, water, pyrotechnics and immersive production to the riverside festival site, The Royal Queensland Golf Club just outside of Fortitude Valley.
S2O Australia will debut with an electrifying lineup headlined by UK house sensation James Hype, the UK DJ/producer behind the global smash Ferrari, brings his high-octane, mash-up driven sets that have lit up clubs and festivals worldwide. Alongside him, Alok, ranked among the world's top DJs, brings his signature Brazilian bass and crossover anthems like Hear Me Now, ensuring a heavyweight showcase of global dance music.
Adding even more fire to the line-up, Becky Hill will bring her powerhouse vocals and pop-electronic anthems to S2O Australia 2026. With chart-topping hits and a reputation as one of the UK's most dynamic live performers, Hill is set to deliver a high-energy set built for the main stage. Her signature blend of soaring pop hooks and festival-ready dance beats makes her the perfect addition to the line-up.
Representing Australia with his trademark Melbourne Bounce chaos is Will Sparks. Sparks doesn't just play festivals " he detonates them, his return on home turf guarantees S2O won't just be wet, it'll be wild.
Backing them up is a stacked roster of heavy-hitters: Marie Vaunt, the dark techno queen behind the "Shadow Sorceress" sound; Lance Savali, the New Zealand DJ known for tearing up global stages with beats built for movement; and Tita Lau, the UK powerhouse serving up driving, bass-led house that's been storming charts and clubs alike. Together, they deliver every corner of dance music under one drenched, explosive banner.
Since its inaugural debut in Bangkok in 2015, S2O has become a global phenomenon, celebrating the Thai tradition of Songkran by mixing water-splashing with music and performance. It has expanded Asia, North America, and around the world with sold-out shows.
S2O Australia will feature explosive water-cannon moments, splash zones, and a wet-and-wild party atmosphere along with world-class production & visuals: From pyrotechnics to state-of-the-art stage design, expect immersive, festival-scale production paired with the natural backdrop of a riverside, open-air setting.
There will be on-site change room facilities, along with designated wet and dry zones to cater for those who want to dive into the action or stay comfortably dry. Festivalgoers can also relax in a dedicated chill-out zone, complete with vibrant market stalls, diverse food vendors, and an array of bar options.
"Australia has been waiting for something bold, fresh, and truly world-class. With S2O, we're not just staging a festival " we're setting a new benchmark for live experiences in this country," said Kenneth Ngov – Partner – S20 Australia
"We wanted to bring to Australia something that's more than just another festival"it's an experience. It's water, music, community, energy and production all wrapped into one," Added Simon Coyle, partner of S2O Australia. "Brisbane is the perfect backdrop for what we have in store"expect the wettest, wildest party you've seen."
S2O arriving on Australian shores is more than just a new festival date"it's a symbol of how experiential, immersive EDM festivals are evolving. Water as performance, combined with high-production audio-visual elements, elevates the live music experience.
