John Summit, Skepta and KI/KI will headline Lost Paradise 2026, organisers Finely Tuned confirmed on July 29 via the festival's Instagram account and a statement reported by Billboard.

The festival runs Monday, December 28, 2026 through Friday, January 1, 2027, at Glenworth Valley on Darkinjung Country in New South Wales. It will ring in the new year across four days of what the official website calls "music, art, and connection."

The undercard is deep. Overmono, Armand Van Helden, Nia Archives, Ewan McVicar, Sam Alfred, Rossi., Partiboi69, DJ Seinfeld, Chaos in the CBD and Hot Dub Time Machine are all confirmed on the bill, according to Billboard, Rolling Stone Australia and Triple J. The lineup spans the US, the UK and Australia: Summit and Van Helden represent the American side, Nia Archives and McVicar the British, and Sam Alfred the Australian.

Presale begins Tuesday, August 4, 2025 at 10am AEST, with general onsale the following day, Wednesday, August 5, at the same time. Three-day general admission tickets are priced at A$569.99 plus a A$27.57 booking fee. Four-day tickets cost A$639.99 plus a A$28.50 fee. Camping access is included with every ticket purchased, according to Billboard.

Lost Paradise launched in 2014 and has sold out four consecutive editions. Finely Tuned, the Sydney-based promoter behind it, has been operating since 2006 from its Bondi headquarters and also runs the weekly Lost Sundays party series and the Above event brand, per the festival's official website. Billboard cites a statement from the organisers describing the festival's principles as "eco-conscious, music-centred, community-built and wellness-first."

The festival's official Instagram account marked the announcement with a giveaway of a pair of VIP four-day tickets. The lineup reveal was also shared on the festival's Facebook page and published on its website at lostparadise.com.au/music.

For campers and electronic-music fans in Australia, the New Year's window is already crowded with festivals, but Lost Paradise's combination of camping, wellness programming and a bill that pulls headliners from house, grime and techno gives it a distinct slot in the summer calendar. The full lineup is live on the festival's website.
