Overview
- Bizarro publicly released full line‑ups in early June 2026 and set Overtone for Friday 2 October, Freeform for Saturday 3 October and Mode for Sunday 4 October over the Labour Day long weekend.
- Early access tickets open on Wednesday 10 June and the general public sale follows on Thursday 11 June with staggered AEST on‑sale times set for Mode, Freeform and Overtone.
- All three festivals share top billing for Barry Can't Swim (DJ set), Interplanetary Criminal and Richie Hawtin, with Mall Grab added as a headliner specifically for Overtone.
- Each event’s remaining roster is tailored to its city and site — Freeform delivers its largest line‑up yet across four stages at Sidney Myer Music Bowl while Mode is presented as a multi‑dimensional music and design experience.
- Organisers are using a boutique touring model to maximise reach by repeating marquee acts across three coastal markets; Overtone and Freeform return for their second editions and the announcements include Indigenous place names for each venue.
