After a difficult couple of months that saw ticketing company Lyte collapse and leave festivals like Lost Paradise scrambling in its wake, it’s great to report some good news: the upcoming edition of Lost Paradise has sold out.
The good news was shared on Instagram this week, with festival organisers sharing an updated graphic of the festival poster with a “SOLD OUT” banner and animated artwork moving around the image.
Festival organisers captioned the post, “Lost Paradise 2024 is officially sold out. See you in the valley,” with the hashtag #LostisOn.
In a statement, organisers added that Lost Paradise had “defied the odds within Australia’s turbulent music festival landscape” by selling out.
“This milestone is a true testament to the vision of its creators, Finely Tuned, as they proudly celebrate Lost Paradise’s 10th anniversary, continuing to deliver unforgettable lineups and experiences that set the stage for a spectacular start to the new year,” the statement continued.
“The renowned summer festival saw remarkable success this year, with 4-day tickets selling out in just one hour of GA going live. Despite the unexpected collapse of ticketing provider Lyte, the festival’s organisers worked relentlessly to bring the near-sold-out event back to life.

“Following its comeback announcement, the final handful of tickets sold out within 10 days, highlighting the growing excitement and anticipation leading into this iconic festival.”
Lost Paradise will take place at the Glenworth Valley (Darkinjung Country) in NSW from Saturday, 28 December, to Wednesday, 1 January 2025.
The festival boasts headliners FISHER, Marlon Hoffstadt, and Sammy Virji. It has also locked in the likes of Tinashe, Flight Facilities, Royel Otis, Interplanetary Criminal, Confidence Man, Teenage Dads, CC:DISCO!, Telenova, Kita Alexander, and many more.

Last month, Simon Beckingham—the founder of Finely Tuned and Lost Paradise festival—revealed that the event had been in an “extremely complex” situation and that the team behind it was “working tirelessly” to get it over the line.
In September, Lyte suddenly shut down after ten years of operation, leaving Aussie festivals Lost Paradise and Rabbits Eat Lettuce looking for ways to stay afloat.
Lyte staff had been laid off, and potentially numerous concert promoters were left “unpaid” for “hundreds of thousands of dollars” worth of tickets.
The company’s CEO and founder, Ant Taylor, told Billboard that an “emergency board/creditors effort [was] underway” to find a potential buyer to repay punters and promoters affected by Lyte’s sudden shutdown.
Tickets to Lost Paradise festival went on sale in late August. After Lyte went dark, the event halted sales of accommodation upgrades, Parking Passes and VIP upgrades.
In addition to Lost Paradise and Rabbits Eat Lettuce, international festivals, including Pitchfork Music Festival, Newport Folk Festival, and others, have also used Lyte.
