Wanderer Festival Confirms 2025 Dates

The New South Wales festival returns the October long weekend.

Organisers are excited to announce the return of Wanderer Festival, with the biennial event being held at Pambula Beach over the October long weekend from Saturday, October 4 to Sunday, October 5.

While normally a three-day event, this year the festival takes place across two days with a stellar lineup of over 50 artists to be revealed in the coming weeks.

The onsite camping ground will open a day earlier on Friday, October 3, giving punters travelling from across the country time to settle in and enjoy the Sapphire Coast.

Speaking about Wanderer 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.”

“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.”

Wanderer Festival 2025 runs from Saturday, October 4 to Sunday, October 5. Lineup and ticket details will be unveiled in the coming weeks. For more information, visit wanderer.com.au.
