Leading the charge is De La Soul, the hip hop trailblazers who flipped the genre on its head with 3 Feet High and Rising and changed the culture forever. The Long Island trio return in 2026 with their first new album in almost a decade, Cabin in the Sky — featuring Nas, Common, and DJ Premier — and for the first time ever, they’ll be bringing it to Australian audiences live. Yes, you read that right.

They’ll be joined by Oddisee & Good Compny, the boundary-breaking DMV rapper and producer whose soulful blend of jazz, funk, and hip hop has earned him a devoted following and one of the tightest live shows in the game. Add to that Miss Kaninna — the unstoppable Yorta Yorta, Dja Dja Wurrung, Kalkadoon and Yirendali powerhouse reshaping Australian hip hop with fearless energy and anthems of empowerment — and you’ve got one hell of a night.

Dubbed Droppin’ Science, the event hits Palace Foreshore on Friday 27 February as part of a national run dedicated to celebrating hip hop’s past, present, and future in full technicolour.

Then, on Thursday 12 March pop sensation Peach PRC brings her glittery chaos to the Foreshore, promising an all-out spectacle of heartbreak, healing, and hot pink confetti. Fresh off the back of her #1 ARIA EP Manic Dream Pixie and millions of fans hanging off her every lyric, Peach is set to prove why she’s one of Australia’s biggest new stars.

With more announcements still to come, Palace Foreshore 2026 is already shaping up to be the spot for Melbourne’s summer music calendar — and honestly, we’re already planning our outfits.

Droppin’ Science and Peach PRC tickets will run with a pre-sale on Thursday 13 Nov at 1:00 PM (local time), and general on sale from Friday 14 Nov at 3:00 PM (local time).
