Following a massive second edition that wrapped up only a few days ago, A3 Festival has confirmed its return to Lardner Park in 2026. The third instalment of the rapidly rising Victorian dance music weekender will take place from 27th to 30th November, 2026, once again transforming the lush Gippsland site into a multi-stage celebration of electronic music and creative culture.

After selling out its 2025 edition, A3 proved it was more than just a new name on the circuit. Expanding the site to host more artists, bigger stage builds, and a broader range of sonic experiences, the festival levelled up across the board. From underground techno to UK garage, high-energy house to immersive live performances, the event catered to a wide spectrum of electronic lovers.

The 2025 lineup was headlined by the likes of Moodymann, Gorgon City, Mall Grab, and Luuk van Dijk, supported by a deep roster including Conducta, Adiel, DJ Swisherman, Fadi Mohem, Yanamaste, Jordan Brando, Effy, Claire O’Brien, and Willaris. K. Across four days, over 100 acts performed, drawing in a devoted crowd that brought the energy from start to finish.

With dates now locked and hype already building, attendees can expect another expertly curated blend of cutting-edge music, creative stage design, and the kind of dancefloor community that’s helped A3 cement its place on the Australian festival map.
