Australia’s premier New Year’s Eve festival Lost Paradise is officially returning for its ninth edition, taking place from 28th December, 2025 to 1st January, 2026. Held in the lush surrounds of Glenworth Valley on Darkinjung Country—just over an hour north of Eora/Sydney—the beloved boutique camping festival will once again bring together a world-class lineup, immersive art and wellness offerings, and a deeply connected festival community.

Curated by Finely Tuned, the team behind Lost Sundays and ABOVE, Lost Paradise has grown into one of the country’s most respected large-scale events, previously hosting the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Flume, Peggy Gou, Jamie XX, and Dom Dolla. Though the full 2025 lineup is yet to be revealed, organisers have teased the appearance of Dutch house favourite Chris Stussy—hinting at another forward-thinking roster of global and local talent.

Returning stages Arcadia, Lost Disco, and Paradise Club will be reimagined within a refreshed site layout, offering festival-goers a dynamic new experience while honouring the spirit of previous editions. Complementing the music, Shambala Fields will once again host workshops, talks and wellness programs, while the onsite food village delivers everything from gourmet eats to festival feasts.

Lost Paradise is bringing back its reservation system for 2025, allowing fans to secure their tickets early with no upfront cost until presale opens. General admission includes standard camping, with luxury glamping upgrades to be announced soon. With demand expected to be high, festival-goers are encouraged to reserve now and lock in the lowest available ticket price. Paradise awaits—make sure you’re on the list.
