About us

Lost Paradise 2026 is calling. Our colourful world of music, community, culture and connection blooms amongst the scenic surrounds of Glenworth Valley (Darkinjung Country) for four days and nights, December 28 to January 1.

This New Years Eve, find your way home to Paradise.

Our Aim

We exist to inspire, excite and enrich. To create a community of music-loving and sustainably minded individuals. Together, we aim to create an unforgettable experience, curated with an open heart, an experimental ear and an ambitious vision. We aspire to evolve our festival every year and to align to our values of:


Inclusion • Sustainability • Care • Community • Self expression • Sexual consent

Community

Everyone is welcome in our Lost Paradise community. Your participation is as vital as the artists, performers, facilitators, teachers and team behind the scenes. We aim to open minds, applaud acts of kindness and facilitate new friendships and beginnings.

We thrive on your creative energy. Paradise is a place to wear the kind of fits and colours that everyday life might not allow. We build this wonderful world so you can reflect it right back.

Our Home

Lost Paradise recognises Australia’s First Nations people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work and the Darkinjung people on whose traditional lands we gather for Lost Paradise.

Lost Paradise is inspired and woven through its landscape, Glenworth Valley. Home to horses, flora, fauna and a gorgeous waterway that roams through the site to connect with the mighty Hawkesbury River. This is our Paradise. And now it’s yours.

Your Commitment

Have fun. Take care of yourself, your friends, neighbours and anyone you feel may need a friend at that given moment. Being a good Paridisian is about being all of this, while also respecting and protecting the land upon which we gather. This means doing your utmost to leave no trace and  taking everything you bring home with you.

Lost Paradise is not the place to dispose of items no longer required. We respectfully ask that you do so correctly and off-site. Please, let’s keep paradise clean and green together.
