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.

Field Day 2027 Reveals Mall Grab as Mystery Headliner for New Year's Day Festival at Sydney's The Domain.

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.

The sold-out debut of CORE Melbourne at Flemington Racecourse is set for 28th November, 2026, with the full three-stage set times now available.

HTID Australia's KLASSIC 2027 has sold out, with HSU Events confirming that every ticket to the 23rd January, 2027 event at Sydney Showground was claimed during presale, before general public sales were even scheduled to open. The sell-out came within a frenzied 24-hour window, leaving thousands of fans without a chance to purchase when the general sale was set to go ahead on 10th October, 2026 at 12:00pm.

The speed of the sell-out is remarkable but perhaps unsurprising given the calibre of the event. KLASSIC 2027 brings together some of harder styles' most celebrated names across four headline back-to-back sets, including Technoboy x Tuneboy, D-Block and S-Te-Fan x DJ Isaac, Wildstylez x Noisecontrollers, and Gammer x Hixxy x Stonebank, with Warface also on the bill and Villain hosting proceedings.

HSU Events took to Instagram to share the news, writing "IT'S BEEN AN INSANE LAST 24 HOURS!" alongside confirmation that the event is completely sold out. KLASSIC 2027 has been positioned as a singular, non-repeating celebration of genre-defining music, a factor that undoubtedly drove the extraordinary urgency among the Australian harder styles community.

For those who secured their presale tickets, KLASSIC 2027 promises to be one of the most significant harder styles events Australia has hosted in years. The event runs from 4pm to midnight at Sydney Showground, and with no repeat planned, the lucky ticket holders are in for a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime night.
