Out 2 Lunch Festival 2026 Is Going National With Four New Cities Added To The Tour
Australia’s wildest daytime dance party is going national. What started as a Gold Coast favourite has officially expanded into an Australia-wide tour for 2026. With headliner FISHER leading a stacked lineup across four major cities, Out 2 Lunch is shaping up as the festival everyone will be talking about this Autumn.
What Is The Out 2 Lunch Festival?
Out 2 Lunch Festival started as a beachside celebration of electronic music on the Gold Coast and quickly became one of the country’s most talked-about events. Out 2 Lunch combines world-class DJs, beach and park venues, sun-soaked afternoons and an infectious party atmosphere.
After sold-out seasons and massive crowds in 2024 and 2025, organisers have answered the demand by taking the party nationwide in 2026 – transforming open-air spaces in four cities into daytime dance playgrounds.
Who Is FISHER?
Born Paul Fisher and raised on the Gold Coast, FISHER is one of Australia’s most electrifying DJ exports. Known globally for his chart-topping house hits like Losing It and You Little Beauty, he’s become a festival kingpin with sell-out shows around the world – and a reputation for turning daytime party vibes up to eleven.
His signature blend of house and techno has landed him international acclaim, while his personality keeps Out 2 Lunch feeling uniquely Australian: chaotic, euphoric and community-driven.
