ULTRA Worldwide has unveiled the final lineup for the third annual ULTRA Beach Gold Coast 2026, set to take place at Broadwater Parklands on Sunday, 12 April. For the first time in the event’s history, the festival will expand from its previous single-stage format to feature two dedicated performance areas: the Main Stage and the UMF Radio Stage.
Leading the billing is multi-platinum Swedish artist Alesso, who will deliver an exclusive headlining performance. This will be his only upcoming appearance in Australia for the season. Alesso joins a roster of previously announced global headliners, including The Chainsmokers, DJ Snake, Darren Styles, MaRLo, Nico Moreno, and Oliver Heldens.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate expressed strong support for the waterfront festival. He noted that the event epitomises everything that is great about the city.
“As we head into 2026, our annual major events calendar is brimming with fantastic shows and festivals, and ULTRA Beach Gold Coast tops the billing,” Mayor Tate said. “My message to Gold Coast music fans is: make a date with Broadwater Parklands for 12 April and celebrate great music with the Ultra line-up.’’
The festival programme will be further strengthened by support act KAAZE, who is scheduled to deliver a high-octane performance. The event will also spotlight the depth of Australia’s evolving electronic music scene by featuring rising local artists. Additional acts bringing fresh energy to the parklands include Ali James, Fletcher Kirkman, Hektic, and Will0, alongside back-to-back performances from Brooklyn and Rory, Justice and Sophie Bridges, Jayrob and Rymak, Kevin Paviani and Ella Jay, and Send It Steve and Eggsbenny.
