Punters can breathe a sigh of relief, because Wildlands have officially confirmed their return for 2024/5.
Hitting Brisbane first, the festival will be held on New Years Eve at Brisbane Showgrounds, following the example of their roaring success last year. After that, Wildlands will head to Perth, playing at a new venue – HBF Arena Joondalup – on January 4, 2025. And, lastly, the festival will finish up in Adelaide on January 5, 2025, at Ellis Park.
Notably, Adelaide’s edition of Wildlands will be 16+.
The dates were posted to social media in a bathroom-centric video last night (August 22). With “Wildlands” spelt out in toothpaste, the video then transitioned into a montage of the festival’s best moments, while Berlin producer Marlon Hoffstadt’s It’s That Time played in the background. Safe to say that Hoffstadt, AKA DJ Daddy Trance, will likely be on the line-up after that.
Another potential contender for Wildlands’ line-up is English producer Sammy Virji, who’s song, Hot In Here (feat. Champion) soundtracked the first teaser, which dropped earlier this week.
Last night’s video was paired with a caption, which said, “Send this to the group chat and get stuck in, we are in for a hauuuuuge one!” and “Lineup coming real soon” with the side-eye emoji.
Wildlands are yet to announce the full line-up – which is set to be their “biggest yet” – or ticket release dates, but they’re encouraging potential punters to sign up for pre-sale ticket access now.
Last year’s event was headlined by RÜFÜS DU SOL, Grime superstar Central Cee, club and fashion icon Peggy Gou, rapper A$AP FERG, and fellow Aussies The Jungle Giants and G Flip.
It also included performances from Sub Focus, Destroy Lonely, LUUDE, Jayda G, Romy, COBRAH, and more.
