Wanderer Festival Back for 2025

Is this gloomy winter weather getting you down? Don’t stress. Sunshine will be here before you know it, and with it the festival season. Wanderer Festival is one of the first cabs off the rank. Its stacked lineup featuring local talents Missy Higgins, The Living End, and Boy & Bear alongside international up-and-comers Saint Motel and Jacob Banks will hit Yuin Country/Pambula this October.

The music runs alongside an arts program featuring circus performers, a morning dance party, morning yoga, a hair dressing salon, and Welcome To Country and Smoking Ceremony with Duurunu Miru Dancers. I’m also assured the food will be “heavenly,” so this is one of those events that ticks all the boxes.

Wanderer Festival hits Pambula Beach on October 4 and 5. The campgrounds open on Friday October 3 so you can get settled before the music kicks off. Single day and weekend tickets are on sale now, so start planning your Yuin Country/ Sapphire Coast getaway. This is a biennial event, so if you miss this one you’ve got to wait another two years. That’s far too long. Just do the thing!

Wanderer Festival Returning This October

Mark it on your calendars – after a hiatus in 2024, Wanderer Festival is heading back to Thaua Country/Pambula Beach on October 4 and 5. It’s a long weekend in New South Wales, so it’s the perfect time to take in sets from some of the finest local and international musicians.

The first lineup announcement happens next month, but previous festivals have showcased the talents of Ocean Alley, Ziggy Alberts, Thelma Plum, DMAs, and The Teskey Brothers, so you know the more than 50 musicians set to play will be top-notch.

“Events have a tremendous ability to inspire, uplift and connect people in a way that is so vital,” said festival organiser, Simon Daly. “I love that anyone can come to Wanderer and feel like it’s for them – no matter how old, young or where you’re from – the atmosphere and experience transcends everything.”

The cost of living may be climbing, but organisers are doing everything they can to make this festival accessible for as many music lovers as possible. Tickets will cost the same as they did in 2023. Get yours from the Wanderer festival website next month.
