Brisbane’s beloved free-entry festival Valley Crawl is officially back for 2026, taking over Fortitude Valley on Saturday, 21st February. Formerly known as Mountain Goat Valley Crawl, the rebranded event is now powered by Sailor Jerry and Young Henrys, and promises another massive night of discovery, energy and local talent.

Leading this year’s 40+ strong lineup are indie surf-rockers Shag Rock, alt-pop storyteller Felivand, genre-melding favourites Le Shiv, and the anthemic Letters to Lions. They’ll be joined by an eclectic mix of rising stars, from punk duos like Mannequin Death Squad to shoegaze, R&B, and indie pop from names like Dogworld, Tear Drive, Lucky, Adjoa, and Worm Girlz.

Taking place across multiple venues in the heart of the Valley, Valley Crawl 2026 continues its legacy as an accessible showcase of the best in emerging Australian music. From sweaty pubs to intimate clubs, fans can move freely from stage to stage, catching blistering live sets from acts including Tourist Drive, Smartcasual, Loose Goose, Mr Finn, My Friend Chloe, and Winona.

Since its inception in 2016, the festival has grown into a cornerstone of Brisbane’s live music calendar, and 2026 looks set to raise the bar once again. With no ticket price, a commitment to community, and a lineup loaded with fresh favourites, Valley Crawl is primed to launch the new year with a bang.

After a seven-year hiatus, the iconic Lovebox Festival is officially back—this time with a seaside twist. Now reimagined as Lovebox Presented By Dreamland, the beloved event will take over Dreamland in Margate on 29th and 30th May, 2026. Marking its grand return to the UK festival calendar, the lineup is already packed with legends and dancefloor heroes.

Rudimental will headline the Friday night with an explosive live set, while the inimitable Scissor Sisters will top Saturday’s bill in their only UK festival performance of the year so far. Joining them across the weekend are a stellar mix of DJs, vocalists and genre pioneers including Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada (DJ Set), Girls Don’t Sync, DJ EZ, and Friendly Fires. Fans can also expect a live performance from Soul II Soul, plus sets from Jayda G, Mike Skinner (DJ), David Rodigan, and Dan Shake.

The Friday lineup leans heavily into club classics and carnival energy, with Goldie B2B Special Request, Emily Rawson (Supa Dupa Fly), and 4AM KRU also in the mix. Sunday will bring a more disco-fuelled flavour, featuring Horse Meat Disco, Dance Dance Dance, Huns N’ Roses and more across Dreamland’s unique indoor and outdoor spaces.

Originally launched in London in 2002, Lovebox ran for 18 years before holding its final edition at Gunnersbury Park in 2019. Its 2020 event was cancelled due to COVID-19, and despite rumours of a comeback, it remained dormant—until now. Tickets for the 2026 edition go on general sale from 12pm on Friday, 28th November, with more acts still to be announced.

With set times now live and the countdown officially on, A3 Festival has unveiled its full 2025 site map. The three-day electronic music event will once again transform Lardner Park into a vibrant, multi-zoned playground from 28th November to 1st December. The newly released map gives attendees their first full look at the layout of stages, campsites, amenities, and art installations for the sold-out weekend.

All four stages — Main, Hangar, Forest, and Eventbrite Pavilion — are centrally located between A Camp and the food and bar zones, ensuring easy access across the festival hub. Nearby, installations by Studio John Fish and REELIZE.STUDIO will bring the site to life with large-scale immersive artworks, including Ctrl Alt Self, Shadow Play, and the collaborative piece Her Spirit. Market vendors, food stalls, drinking water points, and accessible facilities are well distributed around the main arena.

Campsites are divided into four distinct zones: A Camp (closest to the arena), B Camp (central and near shuttle access), C Camp (largest zone with showers and toilets), and D Camp (more secluded). Glamping guests have a dedicated area within A Camp, located close to the accessible entry point. Emergency assembly points are clearly marked, with first aid and helper huts available throughout the grounds.

The site also features shuttle drop-off zones, dedicated entries for glamping and accessibility needs, and a convenient waiting area for rideshare pick-up. With the map now available, festivalgoers are encouraged to familiarise themselves with key amenities and stage routes to get the most out of their A3 Festival experience.

Pre-sale registrations are open now, offering the best shot at securing one of the festival’s limited tickets.

In a subtle teaser, Sonder also previewed the return of French groove wizard Sweely by sharing his 2023 heater “Make It A Night To Remember”.
