New Zealand's Twominds Festival has marked its fifth year with a bold social media announcement, teasing a fresh new look and signalling that major lineup news is on the way before the end of October. Soundtracked by HAAi and Echnomist's "Ignition," the post set an energetic tone for what the festival is calling its most ambitious edition yet, with Twominds 2027 scheduled to run from 11th–14th March, 2027.

The biggest structural change for 2027 is the expansion of the festival footprint on both ends of the weekend. For the first time in the event's history, camping opens on Thursday 11th March, giving attendees the chance to arrive early, set up camp, and enjoy a selection of smaller stages warming things up before the main programme kicks off. It's a move designed to ease punters into the experience with a relaxed, community-driven vibe from the outset.

Equally exciting is the news that Sunday has been transformed into a full music day, with programming running throughout, and the option to stay Sunday night and depart on Monday morning. Together, these changes give festival-goers a longer, more immersive experience than any previous Twominds edition, building on the strong foundation the festival established across its first four years.

Registration opens Monday, and with full lineup announcements expected later this month, momentum is already building fast. If the 2026 edition's sprawling roster of local and international talent is anything to go by, year five looks set to be the standout chapter in Twominds Festival's young but impressive history. Round up your crew and keep your eyes on the festival's channels for what promises to be some very exciting news.

Twominds Festival's fifth edition runs from 11th - 14th March, 2027, with camping now opening on Thursday for the very first time.

Field Day has lifted the lid on its long-teased mystery headliner for 2027, confirming Newcastle-born producer and global dance music tastemaker Mall Grab as the final piece of what is shaping up to be one of the Sydney festival's most exciting New Year's Day editions yet. He joins Major Lazer, returning to Australian stages for the first time in 11 years, and UK drum and bass heavyweight Sub Focus, completing a formidable three-headliner bill at The Domain, Gadigal Country, on Friday 1st January, 2027.

Mall Grab has spent the better part of a decade cementing himself as one of the most distinctive voices in tech-house and contemporary rave music. Breaking through in 2015 with debut EP Feel U, he pushed into the global consciousness with "Liverpool Street in the Rain" (2018) before crossing into unexpected territory with a collaborative EP alongside Turnstile's Brendan Yates in 2020. His critically acclaimed debut album What I Breathe, released in 2022 via his own Looking For Trouble imprint, earned an 8/10 from The Line of Best Fit and broad support from NME, DIY, and Resident Advisor, spotlighting club standout "Love Reigns".

More recently, Mall Grab has kept momentum with singles "Everything" (2023) and "iluv" (2024), the latter a collaboration with now-wife Effy. The pair also made a significant mark on home soil through their multi-artist event series Fragrance, which sold out Sydney's Carriageworks in its Australian debut, underlining the demand for their vision of cutting-edge electronic music locally. At Field Day 2027, Mall Grab takes his place atop the Centre Field stage alongside a sprawling supporting lineup that includes Andy C, Boys Noize, Elderbrook, Hannah Laing, Funk Tribu, and many more across three stages.

Presented by Fuzzy, who are celebrating 30 years of shaping Australian live music in 2027, Field Day has welcomed more than half a million attendees to The Domain across its storied history, counting RÜFÜS DU SOL, Disclosure, Tame Impala, Flume, and Dom Dolla among its alumni. With Mall Grab now confirmed and tickets on sale, the 2027 edition is a landmark moment for both the festival and for Australian dance music more broadly.

Ultra Music Festival 2027 Reveals 27th Edition Lineup with Calvin Harris, Indira Paganotto, Sara Landry and more.

Golden Plains XIX has announced its 2027 lineup, and the long-awaited Supernatural debut of Underworld is the headline moment. Karl Hyde and Rick Smith have somehow never played the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre across their entire post-Cardiff career, making their booking for the 6th–8th March, 2027 edition one of the most anticipated announcements in the festival's history. Joining them at the top of the bill is New York rock outfit Geese, who arrive fresh off their latest record Getting Killed, claiming their own first appearance on the one stage.

The 25-name lineup across Golden Plains Nineteen spans an impressive sweep of global and local talent. Tinariwen bring their tenth album Hoggar down from the Sahara, Miss Kaninna opens proceedings on 6th March with her self-produced BLACKPRINT, and Peter Garrett steps out with a new outfit, The Alter Egos, built around Midnight Oil guitarist Martin Rotsey. International arrivals include Québécois duo Angine de Poitrine on their first Australian visit, Barcelona's Maria Arnal with AMA, and the collaborative project Orcutt Shelley Miller, pairing guitarist Bill Orcutt with members of Sonic Youth and Comets on Fire.

Naarm is well represented across the bill, with daine, Intermood, Shock Corridor, Tongue Dissolver, and Station Model Violence all on the lineup. French selector Nono Gigsta takes the closing set and is making the journey to Wadawurrung Country entirely without flying, currently mid-way through a five-month-plus overland and sea route from Marseille. Storytelling With Uncle Barry Gilson returns to share Wadawurrung stories, and Aunty has indicated further names are still to come. Tickets are $549 all-inclusive, covering camping, parking, and the full weekend from 8am on 6th March.

Ticketing for Golden Plains 2027 runs through Aunty's subscriber ballot system, unchanged since the festival launched in 2007. Round two of the ballot closes at 10:19pm AEDT on 19th October, 2026, open to new subscribers and anyone who missed round one, with no cost to sign up. Those who miss the ballot can try online sales from 11am on 28th October, 2026, or hold out for Aunty's Last Golden Chance. There is no Afterpay option at the Supernatural Ticket Centre, consistent with the festival's longstanding stance against encouraging debt. No commercial sponsors, BYO for over-18s, one stage.

CORE Melbourne has dropped its full set times ahead of the sold-out debut event at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday 28th November, 2026, giving attendees their first look at how the day will unfold across three stages. Running from 2:00pm to 11:00pm AEST, the schedule confirms sets across the Core, Mano, and Orlo stages, with the release also unveiling four fresh additions to the lineup: Bibi Seck, Yowies, Adriana b2b Edd Fisher, and Jnett.

The Core stage opens with Dino Lenny before moving through Bibi Seck, TSHA, Moodymann, and Honey Dijon, with Mall Grab b2b Effy closing out the night from 10:00pm. Over on Mano, Lola Voss b2b Billy Currie kick things off from 2:00pm, followed by HiTMiLØW, Fumi, Noise Mafia b2b Peterblue, Daria Kolosova, and Kobosil rounding out the evening. The Orlo stage, which appears to be a new addition for the Melbourne edition, hosts Yowies, Hannah D, Adriana b2b Edd Fisher, Jnett, and Jennifer Loveless across the afternoon and evening.

The Orlo stage is a notable talking point, with the set times marking its first confirmed appearance in CORE's history and adding a third dimension to what was already a compelling program. The four new artist additions span a strong cross-section of sounds, from the West African-influenced percussion of Bibi Seck to the Melbourne underground credibility of Jennifer Loveless and Jnett, strengthening the local representation on the bill.

With all tickets already sold out and the event just weeks away, the set times release gives ticketholders everything they need to start planning their day at what is shaping up to be one of the most significant electronic music events in Australian festival history. CORE Melbourne takes place on 28th November, 2026 at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, Victoria.
