The Meredith Music Festival has revealed its 2026 lineup, with Dijon, The Dandy Warhols, Hiatus Kaiyote, Fcukers, Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Killing Heidi among the artists heading to the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre this December.

Returning from Friday December 11 to Sunday December 13, Meredith once again avoids building its bill around any single genre. Instead, the 2026 edition moves between indie rock, punk, electronic music, jazz, funk, experimental music and Australian underground sounds across three days in regional Victoria.

American singer, songwriter and producer Dijon sits prominently on the international contingent, joined by underscores, electronic duo Fcukers and enduring Portland alt-rock favourites The Dandy Warhols.

The stranger edges of the bill are well represented too. Electronic music pioneer Suzanne Ciani heads to the ’Sup, while Detroit house heavyweight Marcellus Pittman, Swedish producer DJ Seinfeld, DJ Love, Jorg Kuning and D Train & Mondo Freaks bring different corners of dance and electronic music into the paddock.

Guitars aren’t exactly in short supply either. New York hardcore experimentalists Show Me the Body join rapidly ascending UK outfit Fat Dog, while Twisted Teens and Tara Clerkin Trio add further texture to the international lineup.

The Australian contingent is characteristically broad. Melbourne’s Eddy Current Suppression Ring are back in action, while Grammy-nominated Hiatus Kaiyote bring their knotty collision of jazz, soul and funk to Meredith. Killing Heidi, meanwhile, arrive with a catalogue that reaches back to their turn-of-the-century breakthrough and songs including ‘Weir’ and ‘Mascara’.

Spike Fuck, Ella Thompson, Sophia Stel, Docker River Band, Yikes, Blue Communications, Hana Stretton, Miles Nautu, Media Puzzle and Lifetime Warranty underline one of Meredith’s enduring strengths: putting emerging and underground artists into the same paddock as established international names.

Come December, all of them will converge on the Supernatural Amphitheatre for three days in the paddock.
