Lost Paradise has sold out for the fifth consecutive year, with tickets to the beloved New Year's Eve camping festival snapping up at record pace following the announcement of its 2026 lineup. Presented by Finely Tuned, marking their 20th anniversary as one of Australia's most respected independent promoters, the festival returns to Glenworth Valley on Darkinjung Country, New South Wales, from 28th December 2026 to 1st January 2027.

Demand surpassed anything seen in the festival's history, with Lost Paradise forewarning fans via social media that a sellout was imminent shortly after the lineup dropped. Headlined by John Summit, Skepta, KI/KI, Overmono, Armand Van Helden, Nia Archives, Ewan McVicar, Sam Alfred, Rossi. and Partiboi69, the 2026 edition spans an extraordinary range of sounds, from tech house and grime to drum and bass and acid trance. The wider bill adds Chaos In The CBD, Jayda G, DJ Seinfeld performing live, Job Jobse, Flava D, The Jungle Giants, Soul Mass Transit System and dozens more across the full program.

Ticket reservations, the earliest and most affordable entry point, were the first to disappear, cementing their status as the smart play for Lost Paradise loyalists. GA camping is included with all tickets, and glamping upgrade options are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The festival's core ethos, eco-conscious, music-centred, community-built and wellness-first, continues to resonate deeply with an ever-growing audience across Australia and beyond.

Lost Paradise 2026 has officially sold out, with the Tixel waitlist now open for fans who missed out on tickets to the New Year's Eve camping festival.

Beyond The Valley has sold out its 11th edition entirely during presale, with all tickets exhausted before the scheduled general public on-sale could even take place. Demand was so overwhelming through The Daily Aus and official presale channels that Friday 7th August's planned on-sale has been cancelled outright, marking an extraordinary achievement for Australia's most sought-after camping festival.

The sell-out surpasses last year's record-breaking 10th anniversary edition, which itself sold out in under an hour during general on-sale. Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Untitled Group, Nicholas Greco, called the result extraordinary, noting the BTV community's continued passion and the festival's commitment to celebrating both global stars and outstanding local Australian talent. For a second consecutive year, Beyond The Valley has proven that demand far outstrips supply.

The 2026/27 lineup heading to Barunah Plains on Wadawurrung and Eastern Maar Country from 28th December, 2026 to 1st January, 2027 is headlined by John Summit, Black Eyed Peas in an Australian exclusive, KI/KI and Skepta, alongside Ocean Alley, Vince Staples, Overmono, Nia Archives, The Veronicas, Armand Van Helden and dozens more across stages including the Valley Stage, Dance Dome, Dr Dan's and newly added hidden precinct The Woods.

Presented by Untitled Group and triple j, and supported by the Victorian Government's Regional Event Fund and the Australian Government's Revive Live initiative, Beyond The Valley is firmly established as Australia's premier New Year's Eve festival experience. Fans who missed out can join the official Beyond The Valley Tixel resale waitlist to secure their chance at attending what promises to be another unforgettable New Year at Barunah Plains.

Scarborough Beach Weekender has announced its return for a second edition, with the beachside festival set to take over the Scarborough Beach Amphitheatre in Perth on 28th and 29th November, 2026, less than eight months after its acclaimed debut. Organiser Palace J Entertainment has confirmed a stacked two-day lineup headlined by New Zealand chart-toppers Six60 on Saturday and surf-folk favourite Ziggy Alberts on Sunday, with the event fast-tracked on the back of an overwhelmingly positive inaugural response.

The two days have been programmed as distinct experiences. Saturday's 18+ event also features Kiwi reggae pioneers The Black Seeds in their first Perth appearance since 2017, Australian icon Christine Anu, and Perth singer-songwriter Drea, with more names still to come. Sunday flips to an all-ages, all-Australian celebration, with Ziggy Alberts taking the sunset headline slot, supported by indie-folk act Sons of the East, finally making their Scarborough Beach Weekender debut after the cyclone-forced postponement of the inaugural March event prevented their appearance, alongside indie-pop artist Gretta Ray and Fremantle DJ collective Ningaloo Records closing out the evening.

Director Jaylee Osborne says the strength of the crowd response after Cyclone Narelle forced a two-week postponement in April made bringing the festival back sooner an easy decision, with this edition also introducing refinements based on festivalgoer feedback, including earlier Sunday gates and the expanded Stay and Play program offering exclusive deals with local Scarborough hotels, bars and restaurants.

Presale tickets open on Tuesday, 11th August, 2026, exclusively for those who register at the festival's official website, starting from $99 plus booking fee. General public tickets go on sale Thursday, 13th August, with single-day tickets from $119 plus booking fee and weekend passes from $219 plus booking fee. Afterpay payment plans are available across all ticket types. Saturday is strictly 18 and over, while Sunday is all ages, with Sunset Lounge VIP options available for guests aged 18 and over on both days.
