Sonder Music & Arts Festival is officially locked in for its third edition, returning to its idyllic bushland home in Tallarook, Victoria from 3rd to 5th April, 2026. After two sold-out runs, the boutique festival has quietly confirmed its dates for next Easter weekend — inviting fans to start planning their escape to “our little slice of paradise”.

Known for its tight-knit community atmosphere and genre-blurring programming, Sonder has built a cult following for its mix of leftfield electronica, live performance, and art-forward design. The team behind the event describes the upcoming edition as “something extra spicy”, promising another carefully curated celebration of music, movement, and connection. Pre-sale registrations are open now, offering the best shot at securing one of the festival’s limited tickets.

In a subtle teaser, Sonder also previewed the return of French groove wizard Sweely by sharing his 2023 heater “Make It A Night To Remember”. While the full lineup is yet to be revealed, expectations are high following a standout 2025 program featuring 1300, Detroit In Effect, Soju Gang, Nikki Nair, Yung Singh, Meg10, Narciss, DJ Spit and Dem Mob — alongside local favourites like Prizefight, Inq, and One Spirit Africa.

With its intimate size, lush natural setting and a fiercely loyal crowd, Sonder continues to evolve as one of the country’s most forward-thinking and beloved underground festivals. If you’re dreaming of a slower, deeper festival experience next Easter — start planning now.
