The inaugural ULTRA New Zealand 2026 has just leveled up. In a massive final lineup reveal, electronic heavyweights Alison Wonderland and Pendulum (DJ Set) have been confirmed to join an already stacked roster for the Wellington Waterfront debut.
The anticipation for ULTRA New Zealand 2026 has already reached a fever pitch, with the festival officially Sold Out months ahead of its April 10th date. However, the organisers aren’t slowing down, unveiling a blockbuster final billing that solidifies the event as the most significant electronic music gathering in Kiwi history.
Alison Wonderland and Pendulum (DJ Set) Lead Final Wave
The biggest news from the final announcement is the addition of Australian trailblazer Alison Wonderland. Known for her ethereal vocals and bone-rattling trap production, Wonderland is a global festival staple. Joining her is the legendary platinum-selling drum & bass outfit Pendulum (DJ Set). Their high-octane performance is expected to be a highlight for the local crowd, given New Zealand’s deep-rooted love for the D&B genre.
These two titans join a “star-studded roster of headliners” that reads like a Who’s Who of dance music:
- The Chainsmokers
- DJ Snake
- Zedd
- Oliver Heldens
- Miss Monique
- Darren Styles
- MaRLo
- Nico Moreno
Heavy-Hitting Support: From HI-LO to NGHTMRE
It’s not just the headliners making waves. ULTRA has bolstered the support slots with a diverse array of sub-genres. Techno fans will be treated to HI-LO (the darker alias of Oliver Heldens), Rebuke, and Fatima Hajji.
Bass music aficionados are equally well-catered for, with NGHTMRE, Ray Volpe, and Imanu added to the bill. The lineup also pays homage to the local scene, featuring iconic Kiwi acts like Mt Eden and Quix, alongside rising stars such as Paige Julia and Pixie Lane.
Four Stages and Extended Late-Night Hours
The festival will transform the Wellington Waterfront into a four-stage playground. Fans can drift between the stadium-sized anthems of the Main Stage, the underground techno pulse of the RESISTANCE Stage, the UMF Radio Stage, and the Oasis Stage, the latter dedicated to showcasing homegrown regional talent.
In a rare move for a New Zealand festival of this magnitude, ULTRA has confirmed extended hours. The event will now run from 3:00 PM until Midnight, allowing the world-class production and light shows to fully shine against the night sky of the capital’s harbor.
How to Get Tickets (Waitlist Only)
With the event officially sold out, the only way for fans to secure a spot at the Wellington Waterfront on Friday, April 10, 2026, is via the official waitlist.
