Something big is coming back this May — and it’s not just another music festival. It’s loud, it’s sunny, and it’s the kind of event where thousands of people move at the same time when the beat drops.
Yes, FISHER’s Out 2 Lunch Festival is returning in 2026. But this year feels different. It’s not staying on one beach anymore. It’s packing up the speakers and taking the party across Australia.
Let’s talk about what’s new, what’s confirmed, and why fans are already counting down the days.
What’s New at Out 2 Lunch Festival 2026
Out 2 Lunch started on Coolangatta Beach back in 2024. It was loud, chaotic in a fun way, and completely sold out. The 2025 return proved it wasn’t just hype — it had become one of Australia’s fastest-growing dance festivals.
Now in 2026, the festival is expanding nationally.
Instead of staying only on Yugambeh/Gold Coast land, it’s heading to:
-
Naarm/Melbourne
-
Eora/Sydney
-
Boorloo/Perth
The beach vibe is still there in spirit, but now it’s being recreated in major city venues just as winter starts creeping in. It almost feels like one last big outdoor celebration before the colder months properly settle in.
The festival is again presented in partnership with Vodafone, continuing the collaboration that helped grow it into a national event.
Official 2026 Dates and Locations Confirmed
The 2026 tour will run across two weekends in May, covering four major Australian cities. Here are the officially confirmed details:

All venues are outdoor locations, keeping the open-air festival atmosphere that fans loved in previous years.
These dates and venues have been officially confirmed, and there are currently no reported changes or postponements.
Who’s Performing at Out 2 Lunch 2026?
Of course, FISHER is headlining every stop. But he’s bringing a serious lineup with him.
Joining him on the national run are:
-
Gorgon City (UK electronic duo)
-
Skream (bass-heavy dance music pioneer)
-
Sarah Story (DJ and label boss)
-
Azzecca (Chicago electronic artist)
-
Little Fritter
-
Club Angel
-
Twofaced
-
Shimmy
-
Juicy Romance
-
Richy Penny
-
Greg 99
There will also be performances on the popular Little Lunch stage, which focuses on high-energy and emerging dance acts. That smaller stage has built a strong following of its own over the past two years.
The lineup mixes global names with local talent, which makes the festival feel both international and proudly Australian at the same time.
Ticket Sale Dates and Prices
If you’re planning to go, this part matters.
Here’s how ticket sales are structured:
-
Vodafone presale: 12 PM local time, February 20
-
Fan presale: 12 PM local time, February 24
-
General sale: 12 PM local time, February 25
-
First release tickets: Starting from $189.90 AUD
-
VIP packages: Available
Given the history of fast sell-outs in 2024 and 2025, early purchase is strongly recommended. Accommodation near venues — especially Gold Coast and Melbourne — tends to fill quickly around festival weekends.
All ticket information should be verified through the official festival website before purchase.
FISHER’s New Music Adds to the Hype
Adding even more excitement, FISHER recently dropped his first new single of 2026 titled “Rain.”
The track features:
-
A rolling high-energy groove
-
A repeating vocal hook
-
Simple but powerful build-ups
It’s designed for big festival moments. The kind where the crowd sings the hook back and the bass feels like it’s shaking the ground.
Fans are already expecting “Rain” to be a major part of his live sets during Out 2 Lunch.
What Happens After the Festival?
Out 2 Lunch isn’t the only big thing on FISHER’s calendar.
After the Australian dates wrap up:
-
He headlines Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 23
-
Then heads to Malta for his own festival, TRIIP
-
Returns to Ibiza for his residency at [UNVRS] from June to September
This shows how the Australian festival fits into a much bigger global tour. Out 2 Lunch isn’t just local anymore — it’s part of an international run.
Why Out 2 Lunch Has Become So Popular
There are many music festivals in Australia, but Out 2 Lunch carved out its own identity quickly.
Here’s why:
-
It’s artist-curated by FISHER himself
-
Outdoor locations create a festival holiday vibe
-
Strong electronic and house focus
-
A mix of chaos, humour and community
Fans often describe it as energetic but welcoming. Not stiff. Not corporate. Just thousands of people enjoying dance music together.
The 2024 debut reportedly made major economic impact on the Gold Coast through tourism and hospitality. With four cities now involved, the 2026 edition could have even wider reach.
