Hailing a reputation as one of the state’s most distinctive boutique gatherings, Interstellar Groove blends its music with art, wellbeing, and a community-first ethos, creating an immersive experience that is as much about human connection as it is about rhythm and beats. The festival’s bushland setting at Eagle Ridge Event Park provides a natural canvas for this carefully curated universe.

The 2026 lineup reads like a love letter to both international and Australian electronic music. Standouts include UK trance veteran John 00 Fleming, Amsterdam-based producer Patrice Bäumel, Marc Romboy of Systematic Recordings fame, and Israeli progressive psytrance visionary Freedom Fighters. They are joined by an electric ensemble of global names—Tim Green, Electrypnose, D-Nox, Pavel Petrov, Dela Moon, Bayawaka, Golanski, Luis M, One Million Toys and Sammy Legs—alongside a special guest set from EEEMUS, adding an extra layer of intrigue.

Australia’s underground scene takes centre stage alongside these international luminaries. Local acts such as GMJ & Matter, Kasey Taylor, Shadow FX, Kodiak Kid, Butterz, Liam Sieker, Platypuss, Christopher Brooks, Nikki Sig, Funkform, Jedidiah, Mora, Haber, Handsdown, Twisted Sibling and Unknown Concept bring homegrown energy to the festival grounds. Curated showcases from collectives including Coco Poco Loco, Homebass, Love Camp, Weapon Records and Morning After—celebrating its 10th anniversary—round out a program that honours both emerging talent and seasoned artists.

Beyond the music, Interstellar Groove continues to evolve its arts and wellbeing offerings, alongside expanded infrastructure and community-focused initiatives designed to enhance the festival experience. Camping is included with every ticket, while glamping bell tents, pre-pitched options, and on-site cabins cater to those seeking extra comfort. A shuttle bus from Southern Cross Station ensures the festival is accessible even for those travelling without a car.

Tickets are now on sale, with first release prices from $363, and group packages for four starting at $1,386. Flexible weekly and monthly payment plans are also available via Humanitix.

Interstellar Groove 2026 is shaping up to be a rare convergence of music, art, community and bushland magic—a festival that doesn’t just play the tunes, it invites you to step inside a world carefully built for connection, creativity, and pure, unadulterated groove.
