Bringing together some of Australia’s most exciting artists alongside an incredible contingent of Tasmanian talent, there’s no better place to farewell 2026 and welcome the new year.

Great Escape might have grown over the years, but what sits at the burning heart of it hasn’t changed: the warm, supportive and slightly wild community we’ve built together. We’re endlessly grateful for the culture that’s grown around this festival and all the good times we’ve shared together.

Sign up for presale and you’ll be first in line for tickets, with access delivered straight to your inbox when presale opens at 8AM AEST on Tuesday, 1 September.

Presale tickets are strictly limited. If you miss out, you’ll have another opportunity to secure your spot when General Sale opens at 8AM AEST on Friday, 4 September.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Great Escape family.

Will we be seeing you in the south this New Year’s?

Performers

The Rions
From their early beginnings as high school classmates, The Rions (Noah Blockley, Harley Wilson, Asher McLean, and Tom Partington) have cemented their status as ‘ones to watch’ -going from winning triple j’s Unearthed High in 2021, to now having amassed over 60 million global streams across their catalogue. With an indie rock sensibility that draws from influences including Role Model, The Japanese House and Sam Fender, their infectious pop hooks are propelled by the unfiltered authenticity they bring to their lyrics.

After a landmark 2024 - selling out shows worldwide and debuting their EP Happiness In A Place It Shouldn’t Be at #4 on the ARIA Top Australian Albums chart - Eora/Sydney’s indie pop favourites return in 2025 announcing their debut album 'Everything Every Single Day' (out Oct 3) - featuring singles 'Shut You Out’, 'Maybe I'm Just a Freak' and 'Tonight's Entertainment'.

Their latest EP earned wide recognition, with #1 triple j most-played singles (‘Physical Medicine,’ ‘Sweet Cocoon,’ ‘Time Will Try’) and two tracks landing in triple j’s Hottest 100, marking their fourth consecutive appearance in the countdown.

Last year marked The Rions' biggest touring milestone yet, selling over 20,000 headline tickets in 2024. They conquered festivals and headline stages across Aotearoa/New Zealand before a sold-out 9-date national tour. The band also sold out shows across UK and Europe - co-headlining with mates Pacific Avenue - and capped off the year with an epic 21-date national tour for their sophomore EP including their largest venues to date.
