Melbourne Fringe Festival 2025 Program Launch (1)

Join us at Trades Hall as we launch the 2025 Melbourne Fringe Festival program in true Fringe style: big, bold and buzzing with possibility.

Be the first to unwrap this year’s Festival lineup, featuring hundreds of wild, wonderful and genre-defying events. We’ll kick things off in the ETU Ballroom with a few surprises, sneak peeks and a look at what’s in store this October. Then, join us on the dancefloor for a classic Club Fringe afterparty.

Frock up in something Festival worthy. Fringe is coming.

We'll kick off with a drink on arrival and a chance to say hello to all your Fringe friends, new and familiar faces alike.

The big reveal! Hear all about what you can expect in this year's Festival program and get a sneak preview of some extra special performances.

Move from the ETU Ballroom across the hall to the iconic Fringe Common Rooms for a celebratory party. Expect fabulous outfits, dazzling performances, and a DJ to keep you dancing well into the night.

We'll open the doors to the iconic Fringe Commons Rooms, with some killer DJs to keep you dancing 'til late.
