Wildlands has unveiled its full 2026/27 lineup, with John Summit, Skepta and drum and bass supergroup WORSHIP leading the return of the single-day festival to Brisbane and Perth this summer.
Returning to Brisbane Showgrounds on New Year’s Eve before heading to Arena Joondalup on 2 January, Wildlands once again leans into cutting-edge electronic music, bringing together house, techno, UK garage, drum and bass, trance and rave alongside a handful of boundary-pushing live acts.
Lineup highlights
US house heavyweight John Summit tops the bill after another landmark year that has seen him release his latest album CTRL ESCAPE, headline Tomorrowland, launch an Ibiza residency at [UNVRS] and continue his rise as one of dance music’s biggest global names.
Joining him is Skepta, whose influence stretches far beyond grime. The British MC, producer and fashion designer remains one of the UK’s most important artists, with recent collaborations alongside Fred again.. and another standout Glastonbury performance reinforcing his status.
One of the festival’s biggest talking points is WORSHIP, who will make their Australian debut exclusively at Wildlands. The collective – comprising Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock and 1991 – has become one of drum and bass’ biggest live draws, making this one of the most anticipated bookings of the Australian summer.
Dutch rave favourite KI/KI also returns following another breakthrough year, while Disco Lines brings his energetic blend of house and pop after making his Tomorrowland Mainstage debut.
Elsewhere, Welsh brothers Overmono arrive following a landmark run of UK performances, bringing their distinctive fusion of UK garage, breakbeat and techno, while Nia Archives brings her genre-defining take on modern jungle to Australia following the release of Emotional Junglist. Scotland’s Hannah Laing adds her signature blend of hard house and trance, with Ewan McVicar representing the UK’s thriving house scene.
The lineup also features Berlin-based trance innovator Funk Tribu, hard techno pairing Anetha B2B SPFDJ, hard house collaborators Benwal B2B Kyle Starkey, bass specialist Hamdi, plus UK garage talents Oppidan and MPH.
