Pitch Music & Arts is celebrating a decade of dance floors, and it’s bringing some serious names along for the occasion.
The Victorian electronic music festival has unveiled the lineup for its landmark 10th edition, returning to the foothills of Gariwerd (the Grampians) from March 5-9, 2027, with CHRIS STASSY, Chlär, SWEELY, HAAi, X CLUB. and Denis Sulta among the artists set to soundtrack the anniversary celebrations.
Leading the international contingent is Dutch DJ and producer CHRIS STASSY, formerly known as Chris Stussy, who returns to Australia following the release of his debut album, Lost, Found & Forgotten…, earlier this year. Having announced his one-letter name change in August, the house heavyweight arrives at Pitch amid a new chapter in his career.
He will be joined by Swiss techno producer and Primal Instinct co-founder Chlär, French house favourite SWEELY and Canadian-born, London-based DJ Peach, whose genre-hopping selections have made her a fixture on international dancefloors.
Germany’s CLOUDY and Patrick Mason promise to bring plenty of intensity, while Brazilian producer Clementaum will inject a dose of funk, techno and Latin club rhythms into the proceedings.
Scottish duo Clouds will make their long-awaited Pitch debut, alongside Berlin-based Malugi, who was named a BBC Radio 1 Future Star in 2025. Fellow Scot Denis Sulta is also making his return, eight years after delivering a memorable closing set at the festival’s 2019 edition.
Chicago techno veteran Hiroko Yamamura, Georgian producer Yanamaste, Fafi Abdel Nour and dj sweet6teen are among the other international names joining the celebrations.

The Australian contingent is equally impressive, led by London-based HAAi, who returns following the release of DIGITiSE, and X CLUB., who have been locked in for not one, but two sets. The duo’s high-energy collision of techno, breakbeat, jungle and trance should find a fitting home among the festival’s sprawling dancefloors.
DJ BORING also joins the bill ahead of his debut album Radio Silence, while Kia, Connor Wall, Aldonna and Reptant will all make their Pitch debuts.
Elsewhere, the international programme features Alex Kassian, Clara Cuvé, Colin Benders, Darwin, DJ Fuckoff, Ignez, Jump Source [LIVE], Main Phase, Paige Tomlinson, Sam Girling and Verraco, among others.
Closer to home, Wax’o Paradiso, Soju Gang, Moopie b2b Miki, DAWS b2b Mikalah Watego, Roka [LIVE], Tangerine [LIVE] and YESNA add further depth to the Australian lineup.
As ever, there’s more to Pitch than the music alone.
The festival’s three custom-built stages, Pitch One, the Resident Advisor Stage and Pitch Black, will once again anchor the programme, alongside the return of the much-loved Pitch Sunrise Set.
A series of curated takeovers will also feature across the main stages, courtesy of Bitter Ivy, Chuleo Club, Hide The Junk and Ultraviolet. Meanwhile, The Rock Pool will host additional takeovers from Mob Ties, of the Essence, Radio Cazimi, Solace Radio, The Breakfast Club and World Dance.
Beyond the dancefloor, The Rock Pool and Pitch Pavilion will return, with Anna Nalpantidis stepping back into the role of Arts Curator for a second consecutive year.
Ten editions after its beginnings in 2017, Pitch’s anniversary programme brings together returning favourites and first-time performers, spanning everything from hypnotic house and underground techno to jungle, trance and left-field club sounds.
Two, three and four-day festival passes will be available, with general camping included. Premium camping, pre-pitched tents and glamping packages will also be offered, alongside carpooling options and transport from Melbourne and Ararat.
The Pitch Collective pre-sale begins Monday, October 26th at 6pm AEDT, followed by the official pre-sale on Tuesday, October 27th at 6pm AEDT. General tickets go on sale Wednesday, October 28th at midday AEDT.
Pre-sale registration is open now via Pitch Music & Arts, with further information available at pitchfestival.com.au.
