Wildlands Festival Has Dropped Its Full 2026/27 Lineup, With John Summit, Skepta And Disco Lines

From the east coast to the west coast, Wildlands Festival is returning this summer with one of its biggest lineups yet.

After shifting back to its iconic New Year's Eve slot in Brisbane, Wildlands will take over Brisbane Showgrounds on Thursday 31 December before heading west to Arena Joondalup in Perth on Saturday 2 January 2027.

Leading this year's lineup is global dance music heavyweight John Summit, UK grime icon Skepta, and drum and bass supergroup WORSHIP—made up of Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991—who will make their long-awaited Australian debut exclusively at Wildlands.

Joining them are some of the biggest names in electronic music right now, including KI/KI, Disco Lines, Overmono, Nia Archives, Hannah Laing, Funk Tribu, Ewan McVicar, Hamdi, Oppidan, Layton Giordani, Lens, Anetha B2B SPFDJ, Benwal B2B Kyle Starkey, Dean Turnley, Frost Children, Saint Ludo, Robert Baxter and more, alongside city-exclusive artists in both Brisbane and Perth.

Fresh off releasing his latest album CTRL ESCAPE and headlining Tomorrowland 2026, John Summit arrives as one of dance music's biggest global stars. British rapper and producer Skepta also joins the bill, bringing his era-defining catalogue—including tracks like Shutdown and That's Not Me—to both cities.

One of the festival's biggest drawcards is the Australian-exclusive debut of WORSHIP. Bringing together four of drum and bass' biggest names, the collective has sold out venues including Red Rocks and Alexandra Palace while dominating festival stages at Coachella and Ultra Miami. Their Wildlands appearances will be the only chance for Australian fans to catch the group this summer.

Beyond the lineup, Wildlands is once again refreshing the festival experience with redesigned stages and updated site layouts. The open-air Sahara Stage returns with upgraded production and a DJ setup built for summer, while the Summit Stage comes back as a tented experience featuring new live performance elements. New for 2026/27 is The Wilds Stage, giving festivalgoers the chance to party alongside the DJs from an exclusive on-stage viewing area.

VIP upgrades are also returning via the Casamigos House of Friends experience, with express entry, exclusive viewing areas, complimentary drinks on arrival, private bars and amenities, FastPass lanes, phone charging and more. Flexible payment plans through Afterpay will also be available.

Previous Wildlands editions have welcomed artists including Tyler, The Creator, RÜFÜS DU SOL, Peggy Gou, Dom Dolla, FISHER, Central Cee, Diplo, Chase & Status, Kid Cudi, G Flip, BICEP and Lola Young, and this year's lineup is shaping up to be another huge edition.
