LINES has announced its debut day festival, Petting Zoo, set to take over the University of Sydney on Saturday 10th January, 2026. Known for their cult social accounts Bondi Lines and Melbourne Lines, LINES will bring their online influence into the real world with a bold new house music experience in the heart of the city.

The festival promises a hyper-colour celebration of sound, transforming a university car park into a multi-stage playground curated by production designer Blake Moody. Petting Zoo will feature immersive art, unexpected performances, and a stacked house lineup blending emerging Australian artists with international names making their debut down under. Among the headliners are Locky (UK), Newtone (NL), Known Artist (FR), Pricila Diaz (BR), and Stacie Fields (AU), with secret guests still to be revealed.

Petting Zoo will introduce a new “Arrive By” ticketing system, rewarding early entry and helping to maintain energy across the full day. Pre-sale opens Tuesday 2nd December at 12pm, with general sale following Wednesday 3rd December. Tickets start at just $59, offering great value for a global-quality lineup.

Festival-goers can also get involved via a local DJ competition, with winning entries scoring a performance slot.
