Wanderer Festival releases a stellar line-up with the unstoppable Ocean Alley and their infectious blend of psychedelic-surf-rock.  Django Django (UK) fuse classic psychedelia with three-part harmonies, garage rock, electronica and Detroit techno into a kaleidoscopic treat. Storyteller and creator, Gamilaraay woman Thelma Plum brings her sophisticated pop-folk. Son Little (USA) lands as torchbearer of American rhythm and blues. Having amassed a huge loyal fanbase and the acclaim of critics worldwide throughout their 20+ year careers, Ben Ottewell & Ian Ball (Gomez, UK) deliver Gomez classics and more. The world-famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus, featuring Australia’s top young circus artists, perform their gravity-defying circus cabaret Over the Top. Not to be missed is multi-instrumentalist Adam Page delivering a master class in crafting improvised musical tapestries woven with equal parts charisma, humour and skill.

Festival organiser Simon Daly said “I’m thrilled with how Wanderer is shaping up this year. We’re curating a really strong program consistent with what Wanderer is all about. It is diverse in every sense and includes plenty of well known favourites as well as amazing new talent. We are really proud to be delivering such a world-class event in the Sapphire Coast. It is really rewarding creating something so equally loved by both the local community as well as travellers coming from all over Australia for an unforgettable experience in this stunning part of the world.”

Minister for Jobs and Tourism and Minister for the Arts John Graham said the Wanderer Festival line-up would prove a huge drawcard for visitors to the NSW South Coast and help boost the local economy.

“Music festivals are an integral part of our NSW music culture and economy. The NSW Government is excited to bring this festival to the regional communities in Bega Valley, driving visitors for a cultural experience in a beautiful part of the country. Events such as this will no doubt revive the touring circuit on the south coast,” Mr Graham said.

Wanderer offers a watershed new genre of boutique music festival set in one of Australia’s truly pristine locations in Pambula Beach. A truly multi-generational experience, Wanderer welcomes traditional festival goers as well as families to the bucolic wonderland that is the Sapphire Coast, southern New South Wales.

THE JUNGLE GIANTS

The Jungle Giants

One of Australia’s premier live touring acts, The Jungle Giants are bonafide indie-rock royalty. Their music, effortlessly euphoric, has captured the full gamut of emotions that soundtrack any journey through young adulthood and evolution.

Four albums in, The Jungle Giants have forged a special bond with Australian music fans – most recently bolstered with the release of their latest record, Love Signs, further cementing the band’s status as one of the country’s best homegrown acts. With a stellar live reputation to match the energy their records produce, The Jungle Giants have come into 2023 ready to attack a fresh year of music opportunities with the optimism and passion that has driven their artistry since Australian fans first became acquainted with them back in 2011.


SPIDERBAIT

Spiderbait

Spiderbait

The name Spiderbait equates to Australian rock royalty. For over two decades, the trio has been attacking music in their own way, becoming one of the country’s most beloved performing acts. The music is chaotic, brash and relentlessly entertaining, continuing to be so as the band’s evolution shows new layers as they embrace a 20+ year career.

With seven acclaimed records to their name, Spiderbait are the holders of multiple Gold, Platinum and double Platinum accolades; numerous ARIA awards, and to date, remain one of the Australian festival circuit’s most popular and endearing members.

Over one million units sold in Australia alone would be enough to establish and prove Spiderbait’s legacy, but in this trio, the staying power proves itself with each dynamic performance.


KEVIN MORBY

American songwriter and musician Kevin Morby has been creating his own addition to the Great American Songbook since embarking on a solo career back in 2013, with the release of his debut album, Harlem River.

Formerly a member of bands like Woods and The Babies, Morby’s work has been influential in the U.S. indie and folk rock scenes, though it is in his now seven-album strong body of work that Morby’s legacy has truly been cemented. In his latest record, 2022’s This Is A Photograph, Morby presents a portrait of hopefulness that has maintained prominence throughout his previous work, while also playing with different emotional shades and tones.

A powerful storyteller, Morby brings the nuance and intimacy of his songwriting and recorded material into his live shows – an enviable experience that has grown a massive fan base around the world.


LISA MITCHELL

Lisa Mitchell

Lisa Mitchell is one of Australia’s most beloved songwriters and performers for a reason; her charisma, charm and effortless performance capabilities have only become more sophisticated with each release.

A performer many crowds have watched grow up on stages around the country, Mitchell has successfully maneuvered her way through the music industry in a way that has seen her flourish and evolve.

Mitchell’s songwriting has never refrained from getting personal and vulnerable, though as she has matured musically, and has allowed life’s experiences and lessons to layer their impact on her artistry, Mitchell’s sound has changed, making her more intriguing and exciting than ever.


MELBOURNE SKA ORCHESTRA

The Melbourne Ska Orchestra have been entertaining audiences around the world for over two decades and in 2023, the band continues to prove their staying power.

Taking their effervescence and beautifully chaotic approach to live performance from their beginnings in St. Kilda, through to some of the world’s most recognisable stages, including Glastonbury, the Melbourne Ska Orchestra have become definitive of how much pure fun can be found in live music.

The two-time ARIA Award winners are festival favourites in Australia – seven studio albums in, and the group has shown no signs of slowing down or resting on their laurels, as they enter their 20th year. It’s an anniversary year for the Melbourne Ska Orchestra unlike any other, and their shows in 2023 are love letters to the fans, as well as the influences that have made them the band they are today.
