Overview
So, you're in Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide. You love music festivals. You've been watching the winter avalanche of lineup drops for this coming summer. Been eyeing off the Beyond The Valley bill? Lost Paradise's roster of talents? Can't make it to Victoria or New South Wales? That's not the only reason to get excited about Wildlands' return for 2024–25 — but it's one of them.
This dance music, electronic and hip hop fest is known to share its big names with fellow festivals around Australia — and its latest round of events, which will kick off in Brisbane to celebrate New Year's Eve 2024, is no different. Accordingly, Fisher, Ice Spice, Chase & Status, Marlon Hoffstadt, Tinashe and Royel Otis are among the acts that now have dates locked in with Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia.
Across all three cities, Lola Young and BARKAA will also take to the stage. Everywhere but Adelaide, Sammy Virji, Wilkinson, RL Grime, Becky Hill, Horsegiirl, Confidence Man and Joy (Anonymous) are on the list as well, as are Malugi, Sam Alfred, Hannah Laing, Issey Cross, Messie, Little Fritter, Sammythesinner, Moss and Djanaba.
Just in Brisbane, there's two more talents: 1tbsp and Girlthing.
It's now been five years since Brisbane first welcomed Wildlands to the city, with the teams behind Victoria's Beyond The Valley and Perth's Origin Fields fests giving the Sunshine State a big new summer party. Then, it was over the summer of 2022–23 that the festival expanded to Perth and Adelaide as well, taking care of three cities that might've missed its impressive lineup otherwise.
As always in the River City, Brisbane Showgrounds is the destination to mark NYE at the fest. After that, Wildlands welcomes in 2024 on Saturday, January 4 at HBF Arena Parklands, Joondalup and Sunday, January 5 at Ellis Park, Adelaide.
