It’s time for Melbourne to experience a gaming festival that’s out of this World.
Bring your friends and gather at Melbourne Parks this April!

JOIN THE LEGENDARY BYOC LAN

Come game ALL. WEEKEND. LONG. Play as much as you want! A place to hang with your friends or find new ones. You bring your PC. We bring the action – and $35,000 in prizes to win.

$5,000 UP FOR GRABS IN FIGHTING GAMES

SIT BACK AT PANELS

A panel at DreamHack is *NOT* your typical, boring lecture from uni, where half the hall is nodding off to sleep. Panels at DreamHack Melbourne are interactive, audience-focused experiences featuring some of the best speakers in the industry.

TAKE PART IN STUDENTS DAY

Interested in a career in gaming? Students Day takes place on Friday, April 28, and is open to any Friday ticketholder at DreamHack. Check out panels, special guests, and more.

EXPLORE THE ARTIST ALLEY

Gaming is more than just gameplay, and one of the most captivating aspects of gaming is the art. We’re proud to provide a platform for creatives to showcase and sell their work to the public.

Visit the DREAMHACK ARCADE

And play arcade classics, all weekend long. The best part? All DreamHack Arcade machines are free to play.

WATCH LIVE MUSIC AT DREAMHACK

With local artists including Godlands, Mashd N Kutcher, Luke Million and more playing in Rod Laver Arena, kick on with us as we keep the party going.
