New Years Eve institution Lost Paradise today unveils its stacked 2025 lineup, returning home for its 11th year in Glenworth Valley (Darkinjung Country), from 28 December until 1 January, just an hour drive from Eora/Sydney.
Eco-conscious, music-centred, community-led and wellness-prioritised – Lost Paradise is an NYE cultural ritual, where world-class music from all corners of the globe communes with a boutique, intimate experience grown from the underground. The 2025 lineup reflects just this, heavily influenced by the rave culture in their DNA while spotlighting a range of artists – from the world’s biggest festivals and prestigious clubs to up-and-coming faces at home and abroad.
Spearheading this year’s bill are some of the world’s top names in their field. German producer and composer Ben Böhmer will arrive with his complex melodic house and acclaimed audiovisual show following a stellar year since his 2024 album Bloom, an enthralling experience to be enjoyed hand in hand with new friends and old at Lost Paradise. Dutch DJ, producer and Up The Stuss label head, Chris Stussy, also joins the bill. An essential figure propelling house music today, his leftfield sound and versatile sets have facilitated a colossal rise in the scene, 2024 being his biggest year yet with sold out tours across the globe, his Won’t Stop (Don’t) EP, and now followed by the launch of a new immersive event series, USS, in 2025.
English producer and DJ Duke Dumont needs little introduction, a contemporary electronic powerhouse who has stolen the world’s attention with his mega-hits like “I Got U”, “Ocean Drive”, “Won’t Look Back”, “Need U (100%)”, and more earning numerous #1 chart titles, Grammy nominations, billions of streams, and a reputation as one of the most successful electronic acts today. Australian duo and Lost Paradise royalty Confidence Man have spent the past few years enrapturing the world in their energetic brand of electro-pop and entertaining live performances, this year touring the globe including Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, All Points East and more, and now make their welcome return to the valley this Summer. French industrial techno artist I Hate Models is non-conformist by nature, a piercing voice in the scene driven by emotion and never beholden to formula.
Irish behemoth KETTAMA, with his self-defined ‘sledgehammer-house’ and slew of club-ready hits like “Fly Away XTC”, has been on a mega Northern Hemisphere touring cycle, and now his cult following in Australia will be pleased to welcome him down under for Lost Paradise. American electronic musician, YouTuber and Twitch streamer Marc Rebillet will journey to the valley, known for the improvised funk and hip-hop tinged cuts, outrageous beats and free flowing humour that have shaped his mighty empire. English electronic duo Maribou State return this NYE with an unmissable live show, off the back of their 2025 album Hallucinating Love and a globe-spanning tour. The two are set to blend their signature atmospheric sound with mesmerising live energy. Iconic an understatement, British electronic stalwarts Underworld also make their return to Australia for Lost Paradise. Acclaimed for their daringly blurred boundaries and unique sonic fusions, the group launched to worldwide fame in 1996 with their single and Trainspotting anthem, “Born Slippy (Nuxx)”, and remain an enduringly influential name in the UK dance scene and beyond. London-based, Brisbane-raised X CLUB. are one of the most in-demand acts on the underground circuit, inspired by early ’90s techno, the duo are fresh from commanding stages from Glastonbury to Berghain.
Accompanying this slate of electronic heavyweights is Sydney-born, LA-based DJ vocalist and songwriter Anna Lunoe, Perth/Whadjuk-based, Indo-Australian artist and DJ Baby J, a team-up between buzzy internationals Bad Boombox b2b Mischluft, Auckland indie rock newcomers Balu Brigada, favourite of the Aussie club circuit Bella Claxton, Melbourne’s hedonistic electro-pop icon BIG WETT, unapologetic pop trio Blusher, enigmatic UKG DJ bullet tooth, one of Sydney’s most accomplished and versatile progressive house talents Cassian, Compton producer and Detroit techno, Chicago house, and West Coast rap fusion artist, Channel Tres, DJ, producer, radio host and Yuggera woman Dameeeela, Berlin-based duo and trance connoisseurs DJ Heartstring, fierce voice from the US, now UK-based, Heidi, French producer Dombresky pres. Disco Dom, eclectic DJ and one of the UK’s most in-demand selectors Dr Banana, and equally one of New York’s most in-demand bands of the moment, Fcukers.
Further stacking the lineup is French producer and Aussie festival favourite Folamour, local nostalgia legend Hot Dub Time Machine, Turkish dance and electronic pop star INJI, Irish dance-pop singer/songwriter Jazzy, Manchester tech house DJ Josh Baker, steamy Australian producer Juicy Romance, the Afro-centric selections of Kilimanjaro, groove-driven Australian dancefloor star Luke Alessi, Merci, Mercy’s irresistible brand of pop, a moment of connection and catharsis with Berlin’s Narciss, rising bassmith Notion, the distinctive pop and house blends of Aussie DJ Obb Mob, UK’s RnB, UKG and house producer Omar+, Belgian DJ and producer Pegassi, English electronic duo Prospa, genre-smashing Tokyo-born DJ innovator Riria, Ross From Friends’ special Bubble Love show, visceral post-punk force Sex Mask, breakthrough DJ Silva Bumpa’s pop-infused speed garage and bass, rising Scottish DJ Sim0ne, alternative electronic duo Sumner, deeply atmospheric, high-energy production from SWIM (Live), Australia’s versatile electronic exports Two Another, techno maximalist VTSS and the infectious energy of Melbourne’s Wolters.
Capped off with unmissable sets from Alex Dowsing, BADASSMUTHA, Bella Backe, Caleb Jackson, Cricket, Couch Mechanic, Dayzzi b2b Daug, Disco Dora, Elijah Something, GMOZ, Grooveworks, Kai Kawai, Large Mirage, Laytx, Lily FM, Lost Soundsystem, Madame Reve, Maina Doe, Mash, Middle James, Mina Tonic, Oscill8, Pamela, Penelope, People’s Party, Roxy Lotz, Salarymen, Selve, SIILA, Silly Lily, Sim Select, Tia Lacoste, Tokyo Sexwale, Tseba, Waxlily, Yasmina Sadiki and a triple j Unearthed winner – a labyrinth of unmatched dancefloor fever awaits in the valley this year.
Woven between Arcadia, Lost Disco and Paradise Club music stages, a labyrinth of eclectic side-quests await discovery. Shambhala Fields will return to facilitate a series of talks, workshops and programs that nurture movement, innovation, creativity and curiosity, including appearances from soulful sound healer Benny Holloway, tech ethicist and thought-leader in the psychedelic renaissance Catriona Wallace, activist Chanel Contos, yoga and breathwork teacher Deano Gladstone, everybody’s favourite science guy Dr. Karl, Ngiyampaa, Yuin, Bandjalang and Gumbangirr artist Eric Avery, movement based therapy expert Gwyn Williams, queer advocate and line dancing enthusiast Kath Ebbs, international yoga teacher and art therapist Lara Zilibowitz, warrior against single-use plastics Plastic Free Mermaid, musical comedian Sez, physio and yoga therapist Simon Borg-Olivier and renowned Australian surfer Tom Carroll.
