Organisers of the Great Escape NYE Festival say its seventh edition will feature its biggest lineup yet, with Ocean Alley, Ball Park Music and Golden Features among the acts heading to southern Tasmania to ring in 2027.

Lastlings, Mallrat, Kaninna, Old Mervs, Partiboi69, Sam Alfred, Slowly Slowly, South Summit, The Rions and The Terrys round out the top billing.
Golden Features will deliver a special DJ set to soundtrack the final moments of 2026 as the clock ticks towards midnight.
