Pitch Music & Arts has confirmed significant programme changes ahead of its 2026 edition, set for 6th - 10th March, 2026 in Moyston, Victoria. Organisers announced that global travel disruptions linked to unfolding conflict in the Middle East have impacted multiple international artists en route to Australia. While the majority have been successfully rerouted, two major acts will no longer appear on this year’s bill.

Belgian techno powerhouse Charlotte de Witte and German selector Sedef Adasi have officially withdrawn due to the situation affecting flight paths through the region. In a statement, the festival confirmed that 27 artists were scheduled to travel via Middle Eastern stopovers, with 25 now successfully rerouted and still on track to perform across the Victorian long weekend.

Despite the setbacks, Pitch’s expansive 2026 lineup remains largely intact, featuring Âme (DJ Set), DJ Nobu, Eris Drew & Octo Octa, Job Jobse, Palms Trax, Special Request, Sama’ Abdulhadi and a strong contingent of Australian talent including CC:DISCO!, Sleep D and Sam Alfred. Organisers have indicated further programme updates and potential additions will be shared within 24 hours as they finalise revised scheduling.

Final release tickets are on sale now, with demand expected to remain strong despite the late changes. As Pitch Music & Arts prepares to return to its bushland home in regional Victoria, the focus remains on delivering a carefully curated electronic and arts experience across five immersive days.
