The announcement marks another major chapter for the independently built festival, which has become one of Australia’s defining New Year’s destinations — combining forward-thinking electronic music with art, wellness, sustainability and a deeply connected community.

Chicago house superstar John Summit headlines after becoming one of electronic music’s biggest modern names, bringing his euphoric, emotionally charged take on house music to the valley. Known for global hits including ‘Where You Are’, ‘Shiver’ and ‘Go Back’, Summit’s arrival follows a year of major international milestones and a rapidly expanding global following.

UK icon Skepta joins the lineup, bringing decades of influence from grime pioneer to global tastemaker. As the founder of Boy Better Know, the London artist helped transform UK rap culture worldwide, while his evolution into house and club music continues through collaborations and his label Más Tiempo.

Dutch producer KI/KI will bring her relentless blend of acid, trance and high-energy club sounds, while Welsh duo Overmono return with their emotionally charged take on rave culture — blending nostalgic UK influences with futuristic production.

The lineup also welcomes house music legend Armand Van Helden, whose catalogue of dancefloor classics including ‘You Don’t Know Me’, ‘My My My’ and Duck Sauce’s ‘Barbra Streisand’ has helped define generations of club culture.

Mercury Prize nominee Nia Archives arrives with her explosive fusion of jungle, drum & bass and indie songwriting, while Scotland’s Ewan McVicar, Australian favourite Sam Alfred, minimal house artist Rossi. and cult club figure Partiboi69 round out the festival’s top tier.

Beyond the headliners, Lost Paradise continues its tradition of showcasing artists pushing electronic music forward.

The 2026 lineup features Chaos In The CBD, dameeeela, DJ Seinfeld (Live), Drifting Clouds, Flava D, Jayda G, Job Jobse, The Jungle Giants, Loods, Memphis LK, Pretty Girl (Live), Riordan, Salute, Soul Mass Transit System, Tommy Holohan and many more.

From jazz-infused deep house and UK garage to jungle, trance, techno and live electronic performances, the festival’s latest lineup reflects the breadth of modern club culture while staying true to its underground roots.

Away from the stages, Lost Paradise will once again transform Glenworth Valley into a multi-sensory playground, with flagship spaces including Arcadia, Lost Disco and Paradise Club, alongside the return of Shambhala Fields — a hub for talks, workshops, movement and creative experiences.

Following four consecutive sell-outs, demand is expected to be high for the 2026 edition.

Ticket reservations are open now, with presale beginning 10AM Tuesday 4 August and general admission tickets available from 10AM Wednesday 5 August.

Lost Paradise 2026 runs from 28 December 2026 – 1 January 2027. The countdown to paradise begins. Head here for more information and ticketing.
