Victoria’s beloved electronic music, art and community event, the Pitch Music & Arts Festival, has confirmed its return for 2026.
Returning to the Grampian Plains beneath Gariwerd, the four-day event will take place across Victoria’s Labour Day long weekend from 6 – 10 March.
According to a press release, the 2026 edition of the festival marks a “new era,” including a reimagined Pitch Black stage design and introducing the Pitch Rock Pool swimming space. In addition to the physical upgrades, Pitch has announced the appointment of Tom Supple (Dark Mofo, RISING, Vivid Sydney) as its new Arts Curator.
For the 2026 edition, Pitch Music & Arts is introducing a Register or Reserve ticketing system, offering greater flexibility ahead of the general on-sale. Punters will be able to purchase festival passes for two, three, or four days, with general camping included. They will also have the opportunity to upgrade to Premium Camp, Eco Camp, and Glamping packages.
Marking its ninth edition, punters can expect the 2026 line-up to be announced soon. In a teaser posted to YouTube and social media today, fans in the know will hear electronic powerhouse Charlotte De Witte’s track, Overdrive, playing in the background.
Ticket registration is now open – you can register here before Tuesday, 28 October, at 12 pm AEDT.

The pre-sale registration closes on Wednesday, 29 October, at 10 am AEDT. Pre-sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, 29 October, at 6:00 pm AEDT, ahead of the general sale on Thursday, 30 October, at 12:00 pm AEDT. You can find more information on the Pitch Festival website.
This year’s edition of Pitch Music & Arts Festival featured sets from Honey Dijon, Jennifer Loveless, Midland, Mabel (making her Pitch debut), and many more.
Pitch 2025 arrived after three drug overdoses, and one death marred the 2024 edition before being cancelled on the second day due to bushfire concerns during heatwave conditions. Patrons already onsite were forced to leave and were granted “70-100%” refunds a month later.
