Lost Paradise’s massive line-up for for their four-day New Years celebration has dropped — and folks, you better get organised.

Back again at NSW’s Glenworth Valley, this year’s festivities are headlined by indie-rock name-stays The Kooks, Tash Sultana and M.I.A, who hasn’t been to Australia since 2013 — Lost Paradise marks her only show in NSW, too. ‘Temptation’ rapper Joey Bada$$ is also back on our shores for the festival after a massive set of shows earlier this year.

They’ll be joined by the likes of dance veterans PNAU and UK duo Bicep, as well as festival favourites Dune Rats, Ball Park Music, Winston Surfshirt and Young Franco. With more than 50 acts, the line-up’s stacked with heaps of international and home-grown talent and DJs to keep you busy well into the night — plus UK math-rock band Foals are even flying over for a DJ set.

Lost Paradise is from Friday 28 December to Tuesday 1 January 2019. The full line-up is below – tickets are on-sale now at Lost Paradise’s website.
