The exclusive Brisbane location is an old dockyard in the Northshore district, on the river at Hamilton, just 5 minutes from the CBD, with Sydney at the legendary home of PURE rave, the Hordern Pavilion.

Richie Hawtin is a true techno innovator at the leading edge of technology and electronic music, in his first appearance in Australia since 2017 where he played Vivid Sydney and Tell No Tales, Richie Hawtin returns delivering the futuristic sound of electronic music where minimal meets techno. A Hardware legend and set, not to be missed. Naples-born Joseph Capriati brings us his signature techno, house and all things inbetween as a leader of the new school generation of DJ’s taking the world by storm. He has been a frequent visitor on Pure for Hardware and we can’t wait to welcome him back. Victor Ruiz from Brazil brings us his first ever live show appearance in Australia that cannot be missed! Known as 'The Queen of the Palestinian Techno Scene', Sama' Abdulhadi is a powerful force both on and off the stage! Adelaide’s DJ HMC (also known as Late Nite Tuff Guy) plays the Melbourne event, alongside Belgium rave master CJ Bolland, playing a retro live set of all his seminal hits. An incredible mix of future, current and past Hardware will help celebrate this milestone occasion!
