HERE COMES THE SUN IS BACK WITH HUGE WSL PARTNERSHIP

Returning in 2026 bigger and better than ever, Here Comes The Sun defends its title as the most progressive music festival in Australia with the announcement that it has partnered with World Surf League, and will be presenting three incredible events in tandem with the World Surf League’s (WSL) Australian Championship Tour events in 2026. 

Kicking off at Torquay Common on Saturday 4th April (Rip Curl Pro presented by Bonsoy weekend), Here Comes The Sun will then return to its home of 3 Oceans in WA's surfing mecca of Margaret River on Saturday 25th April (Western Australia Margaret River Pro weekend), before heading to Queen Elizabeth Park on the Gold Coast for a wind-up on Saturday 2nd May (Bonsoy Gold Coast Pro weekend).

Featuring an incredible line up of some of Australia’s most established and most exciting emerging artists, your Here Comes The Sun 2026 line up features;

LIME CORDIALE

THE JUNGLE GIANTS

YOUNG FRANCO | SYCCO

ELIZA & THE DELUSIONALS | MARIAE CASSANDRA

And more to be announced

Synonymous with surfing, the festival has gone hand-in-hand with the Western Australia Margaret River Pro for years, then broadened its horizons in 2024 to venture eastward and join the Bells Beach event in Torquay. Evidently, this caught the attention of surfing's most prominent global body, who saw how perfectly Here Comes The Sun fits with Australia's favourite oceanic pastime.

These 2026 shows are just the tip of the iceberg. With the World Surf League partnership now in full effect, the future of Here Comes The Sun couldn't be brighter. Life long surfer Macpherson says “We're excited to expand the festival into new territories... with even more planned for 2027!”
