One of Scotland’s biggest music festivals could be heading to Australia.
Organisers behind Terminal V, which is hailed as the biggest electronic music festival in Scotland, said the launch of the event in Australia is “imminent.”
The teaser came in a press statement regarding Terminal V’s final edition at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, its home for the past nine years, which took place last weekend (April 18th-19th). This year’s Terminal V lineup features big electronic acts such as Mall Grab, Sara Landry, Ben Hemsley, and many more.
“Nine years ago we had a vision for what Terminal V could be, and Edinburgh gave us the platform to realise it,” Terminal V co-founder Derek Martin shared in a press statement. “Closing this chapter is bittersweet, but watching so many people share this weekend with us made it feel like the celebration it deserved to be.
“This might be the end of one era but we are excited about what is coming next. 2027 will also mark our 10th anniversary as well as a new exciting chapter for Terminal V.”
“While this edition marks the end of Terminal V’s time in Edinburgh, the festival’s evolution continues at pace,” the statement continued.
“Plans are already in place for a new Scottish location in 2027, alongside a global programme of events, including the imminent launch of Terminal V Australia, marking a significant new chapter in the brand’s international expansion,” the statement added.

Organisers would be wise to export Terminal V to Australia, because this is a country that loves electronic music.
As we noted in the introduction to our 50 Greatest Australian Electronic Acts of All Time list last year, a recent IMS Business Report found that Australia is the third largest market in the world for electronic music, trailing only the US and Germany. Australians stream, on average, more of the genre than any other nations, the publication’s authors explained.
According to recently issued data from Spotify, too, Aussie dance cuts were streamed over 1 billion times internationally in the month of March 2025 alone, confirming it as the single most popular genre from these parts.
