Statement from Lost Paradise Spokesperson….
After extensive consultation with the Rural Fire Service, emergency personnel and other key stakeholders, the difficult decision has been made to cancel this year’s Lost Paradise festival.
Our beautiful home in Sydney’s Central Coast is facing intense and unpredictable fire conditions that are sadly expected to deteriorate. We simply cannot put anyone’s life at risk. We have been working around the clock to explore all possible options to relocate the festival, but it is just not feasible within the timeframe.
We would like to thank everyone who has worked so hard over the past twelve months to create this year’s event – the artists, performers, teachers, yogis, vendors, sponsors and production crew, and of course our amazing Lost Paradise community who have supported us for six incredible years. We are truly devastated that we won’t be able to bring the festival to life.
We would also like to express our immense gratitude for the brave emergency teams who are doing all that they can to protect the bushland around the site.
This is a heartbreaking time for our country. Our thoughts are with the affected communities across Australia, and the hero firefighters who continue to work in extreme conditions.
All guests will be eligible for a refund, in accordance with Live Performance Australia’s Ticketing Code Of Practice. We are working closely with our ticketing providers and insurers to process ticket refunds as quickly as possible. Each ticketing provider will provide details of the process, and we will continue to share updates in the coming days.
Thank you to everyone for their care and support. We will be back bigger and better than ever in 2020.

Now in its sixth year, Lost Paradise has cemented itself as a world-class cultural event, bringing together some of the world’s hottest acts, emerging musical talent, yoga teachers and practitioners to feed the soul through revelry, connection and discovery. The camping-only festival is respectfully set on ancient land known to local Indigenous elders as ‘Paradise Lost’ and offers a completely immersive escape from city life. The guiding vision is to provide a creative, inspiring and respectful environment of extraordinary experiences and encourage people to forge deeper connections with nature, others and themselves.
Curated with an open heart, experimental ear and ambitious vision, this year’s eclectic music line-up raises the bar, with outstanding international and local artists performing across four unique, bespoke stages within the festival grounds. The main stage, Arcadia, plays host to a diverse line-up featuring electronic trio Rüfüs Du Sol, hip-hop legends Hilltop Hoods, famed masked electronic producer Golden Features, soothing singer-songwriter Matt Corby, indie-pop quartet The Jungle Giants, pop dynamites The Veronicas and Californian rap-rock group Hobo Johnson & the Love Makers alongside Methyl Ethel, Cub Sport, Lime Cordiale, Mallrat and arguably the world’s greatest cover band, Furnace and The Fundamentals.
Bathed in breathtaking visuals and lighting, the incredible Lost Disco and Paradise Club will bring the best of house, techno, disco, bass and electronic music including Chicago’s most unconventional house legend Green Velvet, homegrown star Dom Dolla, Glaswegian groover Denis Sulta and the captivating and versatile house and techno DJ Honey Dijon.
Crowd favourite, My Mum’s Disco, also returns with its digital jukebox of 15,000 retro beats, party favourites and guilty pleasures, while The Bacardi El Coco danceteria stage will also come alive with mojitos on tap and surprise acts across the weekend.
Home to the weird and wonderful, Lost Paradise is filled with unique and mesmerising characters and exciting curve balls. The magical Shambhala Fields oasis will showcase some of the most experienced and expert practitioners from across the globe with an eclectic range of yoga, talks, workshops, healing arts and indigenous experiences, while Lost Village, the festival’s shaded foodie hub, will offer a tasty line-up of Australia’s tastiest restaurants and food trucks. Lost Paradise also offers a host of camping options, from rent-a-tents to decadent luxury glamping. Further details on all will be revealed soon.
Lost Paradise is committed to creating a safe and sustainable environment for their guests. The working team, artists and performers will lead by example with a total ban on single-use plastic bottled water back-of-house; the Earth Warriors crew will be mounting daily campsite clean-ups and dance-floor patrols using comedy and immersive theatre to encourage waste-reduction; and DanceWize, a NUAA program that is funded by the NSW Ministry of Health to educate people on the implications of drug use, will offer peer support and health resources across the festival site.
