Wanderer Festival is gearing up for another epic festival this September with its major program announcement due to land in early May. The inaugural event last year was widely regarded as a phenomenal success, and with festival goers travelling from throughout Australia to attend, organisers have decided to help Wanderer devotees plan ahead with presale tickets released at 9.30am this morning along with an exciting sneak peak of the line-up. 

Touring and streaming to all corners of the globe, Australian indie-rock royalty – The Jungle Giants bring their irresistible, ARIA chart topping tunes to Pambula Beach, NSW this September.

They have a career spanning three decades; seven albums with combined Australian sales of over one million units and are adored for their catchy, distinct brew of idiosyncratic thrash-pop tunes – they are none other than Spiderbait.

Captivating songwriter Kevin Morby (USA) delivers a sublime offering of lush musical arrangements laden with incisive lyrics and fine vocal performances. 

Lisa Mitchell extends a gentle yet compelling invitation to embark on a transformational journey accompanied by her stunning, celtic infused soundtrack. 

From those thought provoking artists, to the groove inducing and unstoppable – Melbourne Ska Orchestra will explode into the Wanderer atmosphere infecting one and all with their fun loving energy. 

Releasing just a taste of what’s to come, the full Wanderer line-up, featuring over 70 artists, will encompass a world-class program of music, art, comedy, theatre, circus and artisan workshops over three unforgettable days and nights. Complementing the vast line-up of stellar national and international acts, the unique and creative spirit of the Sapphire Coast region is integral and will be featured throughout the music and arts program, epicurean feasts and craft offerings.

Festival organiser Simon Daly said “We were amazed by Wanderer’s reach last year with so many people travelling to enjoy not only Wanderer, but this stunning part of the world. With the dates falling on a long weekend for most of our audience, we know people will want to secure their tickets and start planning ahead.”

“Wanderer has already built up a really strong following and people know to expect a diverse and well curated program of established artists as well as hot emerging talent set in a stunning, boutique festival environment that produces a really special vibe. We really appreciated everyone getting behind Wanderer right from the get go, so the presale is a kind of thank you to them.” Daly 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

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

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 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.
