Welcome to Fantasia, where music comes to life...

From its conception in the underground days of 2002 to its peak-packed warehouse days in Homebush Bay’s Waterfront Studios, Fantasia has created a phenomenon branding itself as Sydney’s leader in the underground dance party scene.

Fantasia became an overnight success from one event to the next. The first Fantasia sold out with 600 people, followed by Fantasia the Second Sighting with 1400 patrons and again with Fantasia Lazer Nation with a staggering 2500+ party crowd. Over the next few years Fantasia flooded the Sydney scene with huge production spectaculars, pioneering through bigger and better venues such as Sydney Entertainment Centre and Sydney Showgrounds, all whilst hosting an all local DJ line-up. No other Sydney rave promoter has come close to pulling such crowds without an international headliner since the late nineties and Silver Entertainment set a new precinct and standard in Australia’s underground rave culture.

Moving with the times and looking into the future, Silver Entertainment are ready to unleash a new era into Fantasia’s high profiled history. The time has come to take the next step and create something new, without leaving the old. It’s time to bring back the party, the people, the DJ’s and the sound that made Fantasia into what it is today. It’s time for Fantasia – the return of the raver!
