Time Out20 hours ago
Since it first popped up at the end of 2014, Lost Paradise – the four-day festival set in the magical, sun-soaked bowl of Glenworth Valley – has cemented itself as a New Year's ritual for a sizeable portion of Sydney's dance lovers. Just over an hour's drive from the CBD, it's renowned as a creative, colourful oasis: a place to escape reality and welcome the year ahead.
This morning, the organisers (Sydney-based events agency Finely Tuned) released the line-up for the 2025–2026 edition – here's what's in store.
Spanning four main stages, this year's music program features more than 100 acts, headlined by international heavyweights Ben Böhmer, Duke Dumont and Maribou State. Other highlights include Irish DJ Kettama, British electronic duo Underworld, and international festival favourites Folamour and Ross From Friends. Alongside the big-name internationals, the line-up also celebrates homegrown talent, with performances from Confidence Man, Anna Lunoe, Big Wett and Bella Claxton alongside a heap of other Aussie artists.
While music is the main drawcard, Lost Paradise is equally known for its creative side program of movement classes, talks and craft workshops. Details for this year are still under wraps, but based on previous editions you can expect morning yoga sessions, daily tea ceremonies, hands-on pottery workshops and thought-provoking talks covering everything from mindful intimacy to sustainable living.
The festival runs from Sunday, December 28, 2025, to Thursday, January 1, 2026. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, August 27 – you can check out the full line-up and sign up for tickets here.

New 'raw and real' Tommy Fury documentary shows Love Islander during 'worst year of his life'

New 'raw and real' Tommy Fury documentary shows Love Islander during 'worst year of his life' The former Love Islander and boxer has let the cameras in to his life for a 'raw and real' depiction of the behind the scenes of being Tommy Fury. The BBC will be airing the six part documentary series following Tommy during the tumultuous time. (Image: (Photo by)) Boxer Tommy Fury rose to fame after appearing on the ITV reality show Love Island in 2019, where he met his fiancée Molly Mae Hague. The pair took over the internet becoming 'couple goals' for the British public as they showed off their glamorous life as well as their happy family with their daughter Bambi. ‌ Although, they haven't had an easy ride, as the couple split in 2024 following rumours and speculation. It was later revealed in Molly's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, that their relationship took a turn following Tommy's alcohol reliance. The pair reunited during the second release of Molly's documentary, and have kept their relationship rather private since. ‌ Now, Tommy has released his own documentary with BBC Three which he has said shows the 'raw and real side of the 'worst year of his life'. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter . ‌ Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury will air tonight, August 19 on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. In the six part documentary the boxer is said to "open up about his life, legacy and battle to prove his worth - inside the ring and out of it." He told the BBC his reason for creating the documentary. He said: "I was really going through a tough time, and I just thought if there's any time to document this, it would be now. I want people not just to see all the great stuff that they see like winning fights on TV or living the life on Instagram. "I want people to see me going through a difficult time as well. Because that's real life. I wanted the documentary to be raw and real, and that's exactly what you've got." Article continues below Tommy described 2024 as the worst year of his life, having needed hand surgery as well as his extremely public break up. He explained: "2024 was awful. I started last January with a hand surgery and since then it just from went from bad to worse. I had my problems with alcohol, I was absent from the ring, I had problems in my private life and just lost touch with myself. "2025 is completely different. Already this year we've managed to make an amazing documentary. I've had my comeback fight. I'm back in the ring and back being active. My private life has never been better. And yeah, everything is just a complete opposite of 2024." The boxer believes that his initial injury is what started his difficult year, and is what was the root of the majority of his problems "both inside and outside the ring". ‌ He continued: "But I've come so far and I've done a full turn. I've gone from having nothing in my life, to living in a house alone, going through the toughest time of my life, to now having everything back and feeling myself again. I'm back in the gym and back training. I'm back in shape. My family's there and I've come full circle. I couldn't be any happier. "In terms of my family life, everything is private now between me and Molly, and we're in the happiest place possible. And that's all that anyone needs to know! Everyone's entitled to a private life and so right now we're going to live our private life, because we haven't had that since we were 19 or 20 years old. "It's all been lived out in front of a camera or on the front page of a newspaper. So now, going forward, we're finally going to take that private time." ‌ Tommy Fury proposed to Molly-Mae in July 2023 on a cliff in Ibiza (Image: Instagram/@mollymae) The boxer opened up about their relationship on BBC Breakfast, this morning, August 19. He said: "Because to be a great father you've got to be a great partner too, and you know rolling in drunk and doing all sorts of stuff, no-one wants to be around that and I can't blame - you know what's happened has happened. "I'd have done the same thing. Who wants to be around that? But at the end of the day, that's not who I am anymore." Article continues below You can watch Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury on BBC Three from 9pm, Tuesday, August 19. The first two episodes will be broadcasted on the channel tonight, however if you want to binge the series all six parts are now on BBC iPlayer here.

Starmer returns to Scotland after family holiday interrupted by Ukraine talks

The Prime Minister's plane flew from the US to Glasgow overnight following the White House discussions, landing on Tuesday morning. It had taken off from the same airport the previous day when Sir Keir was heading to the US for the brief trip. On his return to Scotland, Sir Keir will co-chair a call of the so-called 'coalition of the willing', a group of nations looking to help Ukraine that he has been leading with French President Emmanuel Macron. It is the second summer in a row that the Prime Minister's holiday plans have been disrupted after he cancelled a European trip last August when rioting broke out in the UK and tensions escalated in the Middle East. The Prime Minister also delayed his departure for a trip last Christmas following the death of his brother aged 60 who had been suffering from cancer. A minister has said it is an 'occupational hazard' that prime ministers can see their holidays disrupted. Pensions minister Torsten Bell told Sky News that Sir Keir has been making a 'real difference' in the negotiations over Ukraine. He told the broadcaster: 'It is an occupational hazard for prime ministers that holidays are interrupted. You'll have been covering that for years. 'I've been around British politics enough to have seen that happen, unfortunately, year after year. 'I want the Prime Minister to have a rest […] all we want to do is make sure that we're addressing these big issues, and that in this summer means making sure we get those security guarantees in Ukraine.'
