Lost Paradise one of Australia’s hidden music festival gems that will take on it’s fourth incarnation this December. As the city and harbour of Sydney explode with light and celebration, 8 000 punters are tucked away deep in the Glenworth Valley just an hours drive away, bringing in the new year to the sounds of some of Australia and the world’s best DJs and musicians. It’s a true celebration of Aussie culture ensconced by the distinctly Aussie landscape, under the scorching southern sun, celebrating some of Australia’s finest music makers. Headlining this year’s stellar line up is two Sydney based acts, RÜFÜS and Matt Corby. Supporting them on a bill that could easily be mistaken for that of a much larger festival is a host of other home grown DJs, musicians and bands not to be forgotten about like Late Night Tuff Guy, San Cisco, Cut Copy, Human Movement, Meg Mac, and Middle Kids to name a few. On the International side of things; Stephan Bodzin, Âme, Patrick Topping, Mall Grab, Jackmaster, Jon Hopkins, B. Traits, apparat, FKJ, Little Dragon, Cigarettes After Sex, Nao and so many more.
This festival seems to strike the perfect balance between the authenticity, character and rawness of a small and intimate festival, and the bookings and production of a much larger one. Full line up below. Earlybird, 1st and 2nd round tickets are already gone.
