The Pitch 2026 launch video, released today (Thursday, 16 October), teases the festival’s creative evolution, blending science fiction aesthetics and expressionist cinema with emotive storytelling. Set to Charlotte De Witte’s “Overdrive”, the video captures the tension between human emotion and artificial intelligence—offering a glimpse into the heart and humanity that defines Pitch.
Returning for 2026 are Pitch’s three renowned stages: Pitch One, Pitch Black, and the Resident Advisor Stage, all boasting cutting-edge design and world-class sound. The new Pitch Rock Pool introduces a refreshing oasis and wellness precinct, inviting attendees to cool off and reconnect in a purpose-built swimming space near the Pitch Pavilion.
With ticket reservations and presale registrations now open via the new Register and Reserve system at pitchfestival.com.au, fans are encouraged to secure their spot early.
As Pitch Music & Arts Festival 2026 approaches, anticipation builds for what promises to be a landmark celebration of music, art, and community in the Australian festival landscape.
