In a massive day for promoters Untitled Group, Beyond The Valley and triple j, the 2026 Wildlands Festival has just dropped, and it’s a big one.

Taking place at Brisbane Showgrounds on New Year’s Day (Thursday, 1 January) and Perth’s Arena Joondalup on Saturday, 3 January, headliners for the 2026 events are Australian EDM powerhouse Dom Dolla, world-conquering singer and actress Addison Rae, and hip-hop visionary Kid Cudi, returning Down Under for the first time in over a decade.

In addition to the headliners, the 2026 festival has locked in enormous dance music names, such as Chris Stussy, KETTAMA, Luude, 070 Shake, Balu Brigada, Cassian, Channel Tres, Fcukers, Miss Kaninna, NOTION, sim0ne, and others.

The 2026 bill has also locked in additional live acts and DJs, such as Jazzy, ZULAN, TEED, Willo, RONA., Waxx Off, Mincy, Mowgli May, and more.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Tuesday, 26 August, at 6 pm local time – you can register on the Wildlands Festival website to access those tickets. The general sale begins on Wednesday, 27 August, at 12 pm local time, also from the festival website.

Wildlands will return to its home in Perth in 2026, as well as make its debut at Brisbane Showgrounds on New Year’s Day. According to a press release, the events will feature reimagined stage designs, including a 360° ‘in the round’ stage, raised dancefloors, and updated site layouts.

Last year's event saw the likes of Ice Spice, FISHER, Tinashe, and more on the bill, while previous years have featured mega names such as Tyler, The Creator, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Peggy Gou, Central Cee, and many others.

Sadly, this year will see Adelaide audiences missing out, with organisers recently revealing that South Australia will be taking a break from the festival.

“This isn’t a call we wanted to make, especially after three strong years in South Australia, but the landscape has shifted, and the viability of delivering the event at the standard we hold ourselves to simply isn’t possible this season,” Wildlands Festival organisers explained earlier this month.

“We remain proud of what Wildlands has brought to Adelaide over the years,” they added. “It’s a city that’s too often overlooked when it comes to large-scale music events, and it meant a lot to us to deliver something ambitious and deserving of our fans. Thank you for showing up and backing it. We are forever grateful, and we hope to return to Adelaide in the future.”
