FOREVERAFTER Festival to Feature The Presets, Cut Copy, Ladyhawke & More

The Presets have announced FOREVERAFTER, a new touring event bringing together some of Australia's defining electronic artists for three shows across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane in January 2027.

Conceived and curated by The Presets, who will also co-headline, the lineup features Cut Copy and Ladyhawke, alongside DJ sets from Bag Raiders, Bang Gang DJs, and rising producer FUKHED.

Frontier Members will have access to a presale beginning Monday, July 6, at 1 p.m. local time. Tickets go on sale to the general public Tuesday, July 7, at 2 p.m. local time.

"We've made a racket alongside most of these artists for years, onstage and off. This is our idea of the ultimate party," said The Presets' Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes. "We've all talked about it forever—so it's about time."

Cut Copy frontman Dan Whitford added, "We came up playing shows with most of these artists. And looking back it was a pretty unique scene, so it will be great to celebrate the spirit of that era with some killer shows!"

Ladyhawke said, "Getting the crew back together with some fresh faces too. It's gonna be awesome—don't miss this one."

The event is promoted by Frontier Touring's Sahara Herald, who previously worked behind the scenes at Big Day Out, where many of the featured artists first gained national attention.

"I loved this concept and the intrinsic sense of camaraderie from the moment Kim and Jules first floated their ideal lineup to us," Herald said. "These artists all create sounds which have made—and continue to make—waves that will last forever."
