The Field Day lineup has dropped for 2026.
Celebrating its 25th year with a return to The Domain in Sydney on New Year’s Day, Field Day 2026 has a stacked lineup bringing together some of the biggest international and Australian names in dance music.
Headline is legendary British DJ Carl Cox, who will team up with Jamie Jones for solo and back-to-back sets that promise to keep Sydney moving well into the night.
Cox has remained one of the UK’s most influential DJs across three decades. A multi-award winner at the DJ Awards, International Dance Music Awards and NME Awards, he has long been a mainstay at festivals like Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival.
With five studio albums, countless singles, collaborations and remixes for Fatboy Slim, Sofi Tukker and deadmau5, his impact on electronic music is undeniable. Speaking on his return to Sydney, Cox said: “I’ll never forget seeing in the year 2000 on Bondi Beach. It’s great to be back with Fuzzy for another milestone, celebrating 25 years of Field Day.”
Meanwhile, Jones, one of the UK’s defining electronic artists, has been shaping global dance culture since his 2006 debut. He has headlined clubs around the world, built a loyal following through his Paradise residency in Ibiza and played festivals including Coachella, Creamfields and Glastonbury.

British producer and Trick label head Patrick Topping will make his Field Day debut, bringing remixes of Calvin Harris, Robyn and more alongside his standout single “Want U”. Rising producer STÜM, whose ‘Solar Safari’ tour sold out in minutes across Australia, and Berlin-based Patrick Mason, known for his high-energy house and techno, also join the lineup.
Meanwhile, Australian icons The Presets will return with an unmatched live set. The ARIA-winning duo remain leaders in electronic music, commanding festival and club stages nationwide.
The 2026 roster also features “Shooting Stars” duo Bag Raiders, Irish hitmakers Belters Only, and London’s BL3SS, representing the next wave of UK talent. Charlotte Plank will bring her ClubLiminal EP back to Sydney, while ARIA-nominated CYRIL will make his debut with tracks from To the World and From Down Under.

Field Day 2026 will feature a new stage dedicated to Sydney’s queer talent, called CAMP GROUND. Organisers said the festival has always been a space where LGBTQIA+ communities are welcome and celebrated, and the new stage will represent that.
“Queer artists and revellers have been a big part of Field Day’s 25 years of success, we’re thrilled to honour that by introducing CAMP GROUND to the festival in 2026 – curated by and for LGBTQIA+ communities, spotlighting some of Sydney’s best.”
