Lock in your babysitter because a new Generation Y-focused music festival is coming to Wollongong in March.

Lookout Festival will hit Stuart Park on Sunday, March 9, 2025, featuring some of the biggest Australian rock acts of the late '90s and 2000s.

Are You Gonna Be My Girl hit-makers Jet headline the line-up, alongside revived alt-rock titans Grinspoon and rock-pop stars The Veronicas.

Spiderbait, Magic Dirt, Jebediah and Youth Group round out the line-up.

Stuart Park hosted the family-friendly SummerSalt festival earlier this year, ending the festival drought for the venue after years of rain forced cancellations.

Following the success of two Lockout Festivals earlier this year in Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia with line-ups headlined by US rock heavyweights Queens Of The Stone Age and Live, promoters Face To Face Touring have expanded the tour to include Wollongong and Lake Macquarie.

Face To Face Touring is the company behind the long-running Red Hot Summer and SummerSalt festivals, and Cold Chisel's Big 5-0 tour, which made many people very happy at the WEC in October.

Tickets for Lookout Festival go on pre-sale next Monday from 10am, followed by general sale at 10am on November 26.
