Wildlands Festival's 2027 Lineup Is Here, with John Summit, Skepta, KI/KI and Disco Lines Leading a Massive New Year's Party
Consider your NYE plans sorted: this stacked 2027 lineup is packed with global dance music heavyweights.
Now that we're over the mid-year hump, believe it or not, it's time to get your NYE plans in order. And as we tip over into 2027, there are few better ways to spend the first day of the year than at Wildlands Festival — the all-gas, no-brakes dance, electronic and hip hop festival taking over Brisbane and Perth since 2019.
Announced today, this single-day festival's lineup is wall-to-wall world-class acts. Joining previously revealed drum and bass heavyweights WORSHIP — who make an exclusive Australian debut — you'll catch dance music powerhouse John Summit, British grime pioneer Skepta, Dutch rave force KI/KI, and genre-blending DJ and producer Disco Lines.
Then, this year's undercard is just as stacked with talent, featuring future garage duo Overmono, the jungle-led tunes of Nia Archives and rising hyperpop stars Frost Children. Meanwhile, there are B2B sets by Benwal and Kyle Starkey, and Anetha and SPFDJ, alongside Hannah Laing, Funk Tribu, Ewan McVicar, Dean Turnley, Lens, Saint Ludo and more.
Besides the big names on the bill, Wildlands in both Brisbane and Perth will feature reimagined stage designs and updated site layouts. The Sahara Stage is back as an open-air experience with production and a DJ setup built for the summer sky, while the Summit Stage returns as a tented experience with live elements woven throughout.
However, bringing a brand-new edge to this 2027 party is The Wilds — an in-the-round stage where revellers cut shapes with the DJs, making it the festival's most intimate and up-close experience. Plus, The Portal is home to the local scene, where round-the-clock Australian electronic music talent showcase what the next generation of artists is serving up.
Ready to lock in? Your best bet is to sign up for the presale — happening from 12pm local time on Monday, August 3, and from 6pm local time on Wednesday, August 5. If there are any tickets left — far from guaranteed — they'll be available via the general sale from 6pm local time on Thursday, August 6.
Wildlands Festival is happening in Brisbane at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Thursday, December 31st, and in Perth at Arena Joondalup on Saturday, January 2nd, 2027. Head to the website for more information.
