Lost Paradise will return to Glenworth Valley on Darkinjung Country from December 28 through to January 1, with organisers confirming the festival’s 2026 edition ahead of a full lineup announcement in the coming weeks.
Now entering its twelfth year, the New Year’s festival has established itself as one of Australia’s defining end-of-year gatherings, combining electronic music with art, wellness and cultural programming across the bushland setting north of Sydney. Last year’s event sold out in less than 24 hours, reflecting the growing demand for a festival that has consistently balanced internationally recognised acts with emerging artists.
That approach has become a hallmark of promoter Finely Tuned, whose previous Lost Paradise line-ups have featured artists including Underworld, Chris Stussy, Confidence Man, Arctic Monkeys, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Flume, Peggy Gou, PinkPantheress and Dom Dolla alongside rising names from Australia and overseas.
While the 2026 lineup remains under wraps, organisers have confirmed the return of the festival’s flagship stages, Arcadia, Lost Disco and Paradise Club, each catering to different corners of the electronic music spectrum. Beyond the music, Shambala Fields will once again host workshops, talks, yoga, sound healing and other wellness-focused activities that have become an integral part of the Lost Paradise experience.
Every ticket includes general admission camping, with festivalgoers once again encouraged to arrive as groups. The annual campsite competition also returns, rewarding the largest group attending with prizes as part of the festival’s community-focused traditions.
With four consecutive sell-outs behind it, Lost Paradise has become one of the most anticipated fixtures on Australia’s festival calendar. Those hoping to welcome 2027 in Glenworth Valley won’t have to wait much longer to see who will soundtrack this year’s celebrations.
