A3 Festival has officially unveiled its 2026 lineup, confirming a return to Lardner Park, Victoria from 27th–30th November 2026. Now entering its third year, the independently built Australian electronic music festival 2026 edition has quickly become one of the country's most culturally significant events, with consecutive sold-out editions and a ballot system already drawing unprecedented demand. Tickets go on sale Wednesday 20th May at 12PM, with Ballot Stage One already sold out.

The 2026 programme is headlined by a genuinely striking international cast. Nina Kraviz brings her singular global influence to the main stage, while Kerri Chandler makes a long-awaited return to Australia for the first time in nearly a decade. Skin On Skin appears for his first Australian camping festival since 2022, and UK breakouts Max Dean, Luke Dean and Morgan Seatree arrive on the back of massive international momentum. VTSS, sim0ne, LF System, Rene Wise and STÜM round out a deep and carefully curated bill spanning techno, house, trance and club music in all its current forms.

Beyond the music, A3 2026 expands its commitment to spatial design and immersive art, with Studio John Fish returning to oversee lighting and stage direction across all four environments, including the Main, Hangar, Forest and Pavilion stages. Large-scale installations from REELIZE.STUDIO, Lucas Gauci, Merindah-Gunya and Rose Staff will activate the broader festival grounds, reinforcing A3's reputation as a complete cultural environment rather than a standard festival format.

Presented by Novel, A3 2026 approaches its third edition with expanded infrastructure and refined environmental design while maintaining the intimacy and community atmosphere that defined its emergence. The full programme also includes Andre Zimmer, ANNĒ, Blasha & Allatt, JakoJako, Philippa Pacho, SHDW and many more across the weekend. For those yet to register, the ballot is open now and interest is expected to move fast.

A3 Festival's 2026 edition takes place from 27th - 30th November at Lardner Park, Victoria, with tickets on sale Wednesday 20th May at 12PM.

Ultra Europe has dropped its Phase 2 lineup for the 2026 edition, and it is an absolute statement of intent. Returning to Split, Croatia's Park Mladeži from 10th–12th July, the festival's 12th edition now boasts an extraordinary roster spanning mainstage electronic giants and deep underground selectors. The new wave of confirmed artists includes Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, DJ Snake, AFROJACK, Adam Beyer, CamelPhat, Jamie Jones, Oliver Heldens, Subtronics, Nico Moreno, Maddix, and HALO, all joining a Phase 1 lineup that already featured Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, FISHER, John Summit, and Sara Landry.

The Phase 2 additions reinforce what has always made Ultra Europe one of Europe's most compelling destination festivals: a genuine commitment to both blockbuster mainstage energy and credible underground programming. Artists like Adam Beyer, Jamie Jones, and CamelPhat will naturally gravitate toward the festival's revered RESISTANCE stage, which has long served as a haven for house and techno devotees. Meanwhile, returning veterans Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, AFROJACK, and DJ Snake bring proven Ultra Europe pedigree to a lineup that continues to grow in stature.

Perhaps the most intriguing booking is Subtronics, whose inclusion signals a willingness to push Ultra Europe's sonic boundaries well beyond its traditional territory. Bass music has historically been a secondary consideration at the Croatian festival, making this a genuinely exciting curveball for attendees. Ultra Europe tickets are currently available for the three-day event, and with a Phase 3 announcement still to come, the full 2026 picture is not yet complete, but what has been confirmed already positions this edition among the strongest in the festival's history since launching in 2013.

Beyond the main festival dates, Ultra Europe's broader Destination Ultra programme continues to set it apart from other European events, with beach parties, boat parties, and island takeovers scattered across Croatia throughout the week. Tickets are currently on sale for the three-day event, with two stages confirmed including the Ultra Main Stage and RESISTANCE. For fans of large-scale electronic music festivals with genuine artistic range, Ultra Europe 2026 is shaping up as an unmissable July highlight on the global calendar.
