For anyone planning an iconic festival trip, the Wildlands lineup is giving plenty of reasons to start looking at flights. Returning to the Brisbane Showgrounds on New Year’s Eve before heading west to Perth on January 2, Wildlands brings together a huge mix of electronic music, grime and drum and bass across two massive events. Heading the bill are John Summit, Skepta, KI/KI, Disco Lines and WORSHIP, who will make their exclusive Australian debut, leading one of the most anticipated lineups of the season.
Brisbane is where the WILDLANDS celebrations begin, with thousands expected to ring in the new year surrounded by huge production, multiple stages and an incredible soundtrack. Alongside the headline acts, the lineup includes KI/KI, Overmono, Nia Archives, Disco Lines, Hannah Laing, Funk Tribu, Ewan McVicar, Hamdi, Layton Giordani, Lens, Dean Turnley and more. One of the biggest talking points is the arrival of WORSHIP—the acclaimed drum and bass collective made up of Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991—whose Australian-exclusive performance is expected to be one of the most anticipated electronic sets of the summer. After Brisbane wraps up the year, the entire festival heads to Arena Joondalup in Perth for another full day of music, giving fans on the west coast the chance to experience the same blockbuster lineup.
Wildlands isn’t just bringing a fresh lineup this year—it has also reworked the festival experience itself. The open-air Sahara Stage returns with an upgraded production setup built for summer, while the Summit Stage once again transforms into a high-energy tented arena complete with live performance elements. Making its debut is The Wilds Stage, offering fans the rare chance to stand alongside the DJs as they perform. Plus, if you’re after a few extra perks, the VIP pass adds express entry, exclusive viewing areas and private amenities to make the day even smoother. And if you’re travelling over from Sydney, Wildlands has made the getaway even easier with a hotel package at The Adnate Perth – Art Series or The Johnson Brisbane – Art Series, covering your stay so you can focus on the festival rather than sorting out accommodation.
Big artists, huge production and the energy of festival season at its peak—Wildlands has all the ingredients for an unforgettable weekend. If you’re looking to combine a holiday with a festival, Brisbane’s New Year’s Eve edition is shaping up to be one of the biggest events on the calendar, while Perth’s January stop ensures the celebrations continue into the new year!
