Yours & Owls 2026 Lineup.jpg

Yours & Owls, the beloved Wollongong festival now in its twelfth year, has unveiled a stacked lineup for its 2026 edition, taking place across 3rd–4th October on Dharawal Country. Headlining the weekend are Canadian hip-hop phenomenon BBNO$, appearing in his only Australian show, and homegrown multi-instrumentalist G Flip, whose viral hit 'Bed On Fire' has been soundtrack of the year. Supported by triple j and backed by the Australian Government's Revive Live programme, this year's event promises to be the most ambitious instalment yet.

The mid-tier lineup is equally compelling, featuring Brisbane indie favourites Ball Park Music, Britpop-adjacent icons DMA's, the electrifying Genesis Owusu, Grammy-nominated neo-soul outfit Hiatus Kaiyote, drum and bass powerhouse Luude, Middle Kids, dance veterans PNAU, punk legends The Drones marking their return from a decade-long hiatus, and ARIA Award-winner Tkay Maidza. Dozens of additional acts round out a diverse, genre-spanning bill that spans hip-hop, rock, electronic, soul, and everything in between.

In an exciting new development, Yours & Owls 2026 expands its footprint beyond Flagstaff Hill. Day one returns to the spectacular foreshore greenspace, while day two transforms Wollongong CBD into a sprawling music precinct, with performances spilling across closed streets, intimate venues, and hidden laneways throughout the city centre.

Presale tickets go live at 8am AEST on 24th June, 2026, with general on-sale following at 8am AEST on 25th June.

Yours & Owls 2026 will span two distinct settings across 3rd - 4th October, blending the Flagstaff Hill foreshore with a brand-new Wollongong city centre programme.

Yours & Owls Festival has officially locked in its return for 2026, with organisers confirming the beloved coastal event will take place across 3rd - 4th October, 2026 in Wollongong on Dharawal Country. The early announcement signals the comeback of the fan-favourite “Gong Christmas”, with excitement already building despite no lineup details being revealed just yet.

The 16+ festival has become a staple of the Australian music calendar, known for blending major international acts with standout local talent in a vibrant seaside setting. While artists are still under wraps, organisers have urged fans to sign up early for presale access, hinting that demand is expected to be high once tickets are released.

The announcement keeps things simple but energetic, with the festival’s signature tone returning front and centre as it gears up for another year. With previous editions delivering packed lineups and sell-out crowds, Yours & Owls continues to cement its reputation as one of the country’s most anticipated spring events.

With more details still to come, including the full lineup and ticket release dates, fans are encouraged to stay tuned and secure presale access early. As Wollongong prepares to host another massive weekend of live music, Yours & Owls Festival 2026 is already shaping up to be a highlight of the year.

Yours & Owls Festival 2026 confirms 3rd - 4th October return to Wollongong with presale registration now open ahead of lineup reveal.

Yours & Owls Festival is making history in 2025, becoming the first music festival in New South Wales to introduce pill testing. Taking place on March 1st and 2nd at Wollongong Foreshore, the festival will be part of a groundbreaking harm minimisation trial announced by the NSW Government.

For the first time in Australia, a government-run agency will oversee pill testing at a festival, with NSW Health professionals, peer workers, and analysts providing free substance checks. Festival-goers will have the opportunity to have their substances tested for purity, potency, and harmful adulterants before speaking with a qualified counsellor about potential risks. The testing facility will be located within the festival’s medical tent, ensuring complete anonymity.

Festival co-founder Ben Tillman expressed strong support for the initiative, stating, “While Yours & Owls maintains a zero-tolerance policy, we recognise the importance of harm minimisation. This isn’t a solution to all issues, but it’s a proven strategy that has saved lives worldwide.”

Despite the introduction of pill testing, festival-goers are reminded that illicit drugs remain illegal in NSW, and police will be present on-site. With Yours & Owls 2025 already nearing a sell-out, this landmark move is set to make festival history in Australia.
