U.S. DJ and producer John Summit, British emcee Skepta and Dutch dancefloor maestro KI/KI are among the big names confirmed for Lost Paradise, the beloved Australian electronic music festival that rings in the New Year.
Also set to pump out the tunes at the 2026 edition are Overmono, Armand Van Helden, Nia Archives, Ewan McVicar, Sam Alfred, Rossi., Partiboi69 and many others.
Presented across the five days from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1 in Glenworth Valley, New South Wales, roughly an hour’s drive from Sydney, Lost Paradise is coming off four consecutive sell-outs.
The festival, reads a statement from organizers Finely Tuned, “exists on a simple set of principles: eco-conscious, music-centred, community-built and wellness-first.”
Lost Paradise launched in 2014, and today stands out as one of the state’s last-remaining camping festivals.
While Australia’s festivals scene is in a spin cycle, with popular brands including Bluesfest, Splendour in the Grass, and many others either collapsing or taking a hiatus, dance music events play to a different beat.
Creative Australia’s Soundcheck report from 2024 mapped the nation’s festivals circuit. Of the 500 plus festivals in the market, dance music was found to be most popular genre, accounting for almost one in every four fests in these parts.
General admission camping access is included with all tickets purchased, while optional “glamping” accommodation options will be announced in due course.
Three-day GA is priced at A$569.99 (A$27.57 fee) and four-day tickets cost A$639.99 (plus A$28.50 fee). Presales begin Tuesday, Aug. 4 from 10am AEST, and the general admission onsale starts at the same time the following day, Wednesday, Aug. 5.
