CUPRA DARK MODE presented by Nine

On Thursday 18 June 2026, CUPRA transformed Sydney's Machine Hall into DARK MODE, an immersive one-night experience celebrating the Australian unveiling of the new CUPRA Formentor.

Bringing together music, light, design and performance, DARK MODE reflected CUPRA's challenger spirit in an unforgettable evening that immersed guests in the brand's bold vision.

One night. One reveal.

Hosted in the industrial surrounds of Machine Hall, the experience culminated in the Australian debut of the new CUPRA Formentor. Guests were among the first in the country to see the reimagined vehicle, revealed through a dramatic immersive production created exclusively for the occasion.

Presented in partnership with Nine, the evening featured headline performances from Memphis LK and Anna Lunoe, while acclaimed chef and CUPRA Australia Ambassador Miguel Maestre curated a menu of canapés served alongside beer and wine throughout the night.
