The biennial Wanderer Festival set off an avalanche of excitement today as organisers confirmed this year’s dates. Mark your calendars and set your compass for Pambula Beach these spring holidays as your favourite music & arts festival kicks into gear over the October long weekend, 4th-5th October 2025.
Previous Wanderers have sprawled over three days with organisers this year delivering the event over two epic main days. Over 50 stellar acts will grace the stages and the first line-up announcement is set to be released in coming weeks.
A genuine festival of culture, Wanderer is a world-class production of music and art that expertly weaves the unique and creative spirit of the region through the vast and diverse program of national and international artists. As always, the cuisine will be heavenly.
Festival founder, Simon Daly said “events have a tremendous ability to inspire, uplift and connect people in a way that is so vital. 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.”
So unique and so wonderful is Wanderer that it draws audiences from all over Australia. One quarter of Wanderers come from interstate and sixty percent visit from outside the local region. The onsite campgrounds will open on Friday 3rd October, ensuring visitors journeying to the Sapphire Coast can settle in early and not miss a beat.
Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said:
“We are thrilled to back Wanderer Festival on its return to the NSW major events calendar. It proved an enormous hit with festivalgoers and will again draw thousands of people to one of Australia’s most pristine locations, supporting local businesses and jobs.
“Delivering major events like Wanderer Festival in the South Coast of NSW will help us to drive visitation across the state, and ensure people visit the wonderful offerings of our regional communities.”
It’s been a long wait for devotees of this spectacular biennial event. The time has come to start planning.
