Rolling Sets Reveals Line-up, New Location For 2026 Festival

Ocean Alley

NSW-based music festival Rolling Sets returns for another stacked year of live music, with a new location for one of its two events.

Like last year, Rolling Sets takes place across two venues when it returns this November and December.

The first is locked in for Ebenezer Park, Duranbah Beach in Tweed Heads – returning following a sold-out debut in 2025 – on Saturday, 28 November, and, for the first time, Newcastle’s Foreshore Park on Saturday, 5 December.

Who’s playing? Ocean Alley – fresh off releasing their successful new album, Love Balloon, last year – and breakout stars Royel Otis co-headline the festival. They’re joined by G Flip, currently enjoying a viral moment with their track Bed On Fire, Violent Soho returning to festival stages after an extended hiatus, and more.

Additional acts heading to NSW for Rolling Sets include Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, Old Mervs, The Rions, The Belair Lip Bombs, Radium Dolls, HEADSEND, and others. Check out the full line-up below.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Thursday, 18 June, at 8 am AEST, with the general sale opening just two hours later.

Organisers state that “100% of profits” from booking fees will support charities that focus on education, healthcare, and opportunities for disadvantaged children. You can find tickets on the Rolling Sets festival website.

Rolling Sets launched as a boutique NSW-based festival in 2020. Since its debut, it’s evolved into one of the country’s most anticipated summer events, with sold-out editions and exciting line-ups. And this year, with the return to Tweed Heads and debut in Newcastle, organisers are shaking things up as they cater for increased capacity.

“The Central Coast will always be part of the Rolling Sets story. We’ve loved every minute of building something special at The Entrance, and we’re incredibly grateful to the community that has supported us from day one,” explained Festival Director Matt Wise.

Wise continued, “But as the festival continues to grow, we need more space. Moving to Newcastle Foreshore allows us to create a bigger experience for fans while keeping everything that makes Rolling Sets special.”
