After two sold-out years, Changing Tides Festival is back for its third edition, locking in Saturday, 22nd November, 2025 at the picturesque Kiama Showgrounds. This year’s coastal celebration brings together some of the most compelling names in Australian and international music, continuing its rise as one of the South Coast’s must-attend summer festivals.

Making his long-awaited return to Australia, Sam Fender headlines the event with his explosive, stadium-ready indie rock anthems. He’ll be joined by US singer-songwriter Noah Cyrus, performing her acclaimed new album I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me in a rare Australian appearance. The bill also features homegrown favourites The Rubens, surf-punk trio Skegss, and UK indie darling Holly Humberstone, all set to electrify the South Coast stage.

The next generation of local talent is well represented, with MAY-A, The Rions, and Boy Soda joining the lineup, alongside Chloe Parché and a final performance slot reserved for a triple j Unearthed competition winner. Also making their live return are viral favourites Retired Gentlemens League, the comedy-meets-music project from the Inspired Unemployed boys.

Presale tickets go live at 8:00am on Wednesday, 10th September, with General Public sales opening at 10:00am the same day. With previous editions selling out in record time and a stunning mix of sounds set against the oceanfront backdrop, Changing Tides 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most unforgettable weekends of the summer.
