Lost Paradise returns with its NYE 2025 lineup
The festival, based in NSW's Glenworth Valley on Darkinjung Country, is back for its 11th year.
Lost Paradise has this morning announced the lineup for its 2025 edition, and thrown its hat very comfortably into the ring in vying for punters' New Year's celebrations.
The festival, now in its 11th year, will return to Glenworth Valley on Darkinjung Country, just an hour's drive from the CBD of Gadigal Land/Sydney.
Over its lifetime, Lost Paradise has enjoyed huge support from across the musical spectrum, as a festival that caters not only to the needs of electronically inclined fans, but consistently features a wide variety of local and international dance talent.
It stands as one of a small selection of large-scale camping festivals still running in NSW that has managed to thrive year on year.
This year's edition is an imposing undertaking that should be celebrated, considering that just last year, Lost Paradise's US-based ticketing provider Lyte unexpectedly shut down, leaving ticket holders in the lurch and Lost Paradise without support. However, the team behind the festival, Finely Tuned, against all odds, still managed to deliver.
"Thankfully, Lost Paradise means so much to so many. And with the generosity of our artists, staff and suppliers, we set out to source enough funding to enable us to operate the 2024 festival," founder Simon Buckingham said at the time.
With that experience behind them, this 2025 edition and its lineup are reason enough to celebrate, totally separate from its usual NYE-associated revelry.
This year, Lost Paradise has continued its commitment to a diverse range of bookings across a number of genres, in partnership with national youth broadcaster Triple J.
Internationally, that sees the likes of Ben Böhmer and Chris Stussy sharing the occasion with Youtuber and Twitch streamer Marc Rebillet, and Turkish dance and pop star INJI. English electronic duo Maribou State are set to appear, along with Folamour, VTSS, Bad Boombox b2b Mischluft, Dr Banana, Fcukers and many more.
Locally, Lost Paradise continues to tap some of the most well-respected locals and newcomers alike. That includes the likes of Mixmag ANZ Cover Arist dameeeela, Anna Lunoe, Juicy Romance, Tseba, X-Club and countless others.
This year, Lost Paradise takes place from Saturday, December 28 2025, to Thursday, January 1 2026. Pre-sale sign ups and ticket reservations are now available via their website.
