Meredith Music Festival 2026 Shines with Dijon, Underscores, and Hiatus Kaiyote in a Stellar Lineup

Meredith Music Festival is back for its 34th round, running December 11 to 13, 2026, at the Supernatural Amphitheatre in Victoria. Something special about Meredith: there’s only one stage. Nobody has to dash between sets or pick favorites — you just hang out, soak it all in, and see every artist.

This year, Dijon leads the lineup, making his Australian debut. If you’ve never heard him, expect a wild mix of R&B, folk, and pop that refuses to sit still. Then there’s Underscores, pushing hyperpop into weird, exciting new territory. The Dandy Warhols fly in from Portland with their indie-rock hits, and Melbourne’s own Hiatus Kaiyote is back with those future-soul grooves everybody loves. Plus, garage rock heads Eddy Current Suppression Ring reunite after ten years away — fans have waited ages for this.

You’ll find plenty more across the weekend: Killing Heidi, Show Me The Body, Fat Dog, Suzanne Ciani, DJ Seinfeld, Fcukers — the list keeps going. Meredith throws all sorts of sounds together: hardcore punk, offbeat electronica, funk, soul, along with strong Indigenous voices. It’s a mixed bag in the best way.

Getting in still means entering the festival’s famous ballot system — they started it back in 2007, and with Meredith’s cult following, it’s the only shot. The second ballot closes August 18, 2026, at 10:34 pm local time. If you score a ticket, you’re set: camping, parking, fees, car passes, and bring-your-own gear are all covered. Plus, you help out community projects in the area.

Meredith isn’t just about music — it’s a whole experience, wrapped up under the stars. This 34th round promises plenty of surprises, big sounds, and good company. People keep coming back for a reason.
