One of the most in-demand names in global dance music, John Summit has had another landmark year. Fresh off the release of his latest album CTRL ESCAPE and a headline set at Tomorrowland 2026, the DJ, producer and label owner has amassed over a billion global streams, scored two No. 1 US dance radio hits and landed eight Top 10 tracks on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. With three sold-out headline shows at LA’s Kia Forum, a headline debut at London’s O2 Arena, the return of his Experts Only Festival and his debut Ibiza residency at [UNVRS], Summit continues to cement his place among the world’s leading electronic artists.
WORSHIP will make their exclusive Australian debut, marking one of the biggest electronic music announcements the country has seen. Bringing together Sub Focus, Dimension, Culture Shock, and 1991, four artists who boast catalogues spanning multiple gold and platinum records, alongside sold-out shows at Red Rocks and Alexandra Palace, plus performances at Ultra Miami and Coachella’s Main Stage. Their arrival gives Australian fans a rare chance to witness one of electronic music’s most celebrated acts.
A pioneer of UK grime, Skepta remains one of British music’s most influential figures. The Tottenham-born MC, rapper, producer and fashion designer helped define a generation of UK rap and remains among its most celebrated figures. In 2025 he delivered a standout Glastonbury set after stepping in at short notice, and joined forces with Fred again.. on singles “Victory Lap” and “Back 2 Back”. Known for era-defining tracks including “Shutdown” and “That’s Not Me”, Skepta brings his signature catalogue to Wildlands for performances in Brisbane and Perth.
Dutch DJ and producer KI/KI has become one of the most compelling names in electronic music, reshaping the global rave scene on her own terms. In 2025 she became the first woman to win the Dance category at the Netherlands’ Edison Pop Awards, while her extended, 5-hour sets have become legendary. Her collaboration with electronic pioneers Underworld, “Arp12”, marked another standout moment in a run of acclaimed releases. Her forthcoming track “Getting Ready For The Party” soundtracked Wildlands’ official campaign launch video, setting the tone for her hugely anticipated return to Australia.
American DJ and producer Disco Lines returns to Australia off the back of his Billboard Dance No. 1 remix of Tinashe’s “No Broke Boys”. Since his breakout 2022 single “Baby Girl”, the Colorado-raised artist has built serious global momentum, most recently making his Tomorrowland Mainstage debut. Known for an infectious blend of house, tech house and pop, Disco Lines brings one of dance music’s most high-energy live shows to Wildlands.

British jungle trailblazer Nia Archives has redefined the genre, bringing her new live show to Australia for the first time following the release of her critically acclaimed new album Emotional Junglist.
