Golden Plains 2027 runs over the Labour Day long weekend, Saturday March 6 to Monday March 8, in the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Victoria, one stage in a natural bowl. Geese and Underworld headline, and the weekend has sold out, with a waitlist running.
Below them sit 22 more acts across rock, dance and music from further afield: Tinariwen's desert guitars from northern Mali, Angine de Poitrine's microtonal math rock, Miss Kaninna's hip-hop and Peter Garrett & The Alter Egos. Further down are Westside Cowboy, Maria Arnal, daine and the improvising trio Orcutt Shelley Miller, plus DJs Peach and Maurice Fulton. Nothing says yet which day each act plays.
Expect indie rock, pop, rock and hip-hop across 24 acts.

Indie rockArt-rock
Karl Hyde's stream-of-consciousness vocals over Rick Smith's builds, with 'Born Slippy' only ever the doorway into a much stranger catalogue.
TechnoProgressive-house
Masked Saguenay duo who loop double-necked microtonal guitar into hypnotic, odd-metred math rock, 2026's strangest breakout story.
Math rockExperimentalProg-rock
Hip-hop artist with a sharp, unapologetic delivery who broke through with the single 'Blak Britney'.
Hip-hop
Tuareg collective from northern Mali who electrified the music of the Sahara. Interlocking guitar lines, hand claps and call-and-response vocals carry songs of exile and the desert.
Worldwide
Maximalist internet pop that keeps reaching further, from the electroclash bounce of 'PQC' to the raw, inward album In Endless Awe & Agony.
HyperpopPop
Hushed, unhurried songwriting from a new voice with old grace.
Folk
Genre-hopping duo bringing club heat.
Alternative
Pop
Highlife

Catalan singer from Badalona who first drew notice in a duo with guitarist Marcel Bagés, reworking Iberian folk song through electronics and processed vocals.
Pop
Producer of strange, percussive house and disco with a loose, hand-played feel, also released under aliases including Boof.
Dance
Trio of guitarist Bill Orcutt, former Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley and Ethan Miller of Comets on Fire, stretching improvised jams into long, noisy, heavy-lidded drift.
Rock
Toronto-born, London-based DJ with a monthly NTS Radio show, whose debut track 'Silky' was a fast, melodic cut on Midland's Intergraded imprint.
Hip-hop
Melbourne group pulling post-punk and dark wave toward the slower, shadowed grooves of trip hop, with an art-rock streak running through it.

Electronic
Manchester's buzzy new guitar gang are scrappy, hook-first and rising fast on word of mouth, and the hype is earning itself.
