Ability Fest, proudly presented by the Dylan Alcott Foundation and Untitled Group, returns for its sixth edition on April 11th, 2026.

With a new format, new date and new home, Australia’s first fully inclusive and accessible music festival will take place at The Timberyard in Port Melbourne, with a focus on electronic genres. 

This year introduces a more intimate, warehouse-style experience, placing electronic music front and centre while staying true to the inclusive spirit that defines the festival. Designed for all, Ability Fest continues to lead with accessibility, community and connection at its core, creating a space where everyone can come together to celebrate music without barriers.

As a not-for-profit event, all proceeds go directly to the Dylan Alcott Foundation, supporting young Australians with a disability to pursue their goals and achieve their dreams.

Set within the industrial surrounds of The Timber Yard, this 18+ edition offers a fresh backdrop for the Ability Fest community to unite, dance and champion inclusion in a new way.

We’re already counting down to reveal the full lineup.
