Changing Tides Festival 2025 Lineup.png

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.

Changing Tides 2025 Lineup Revealed Featuring Sam Fender, Noah Cyrus, The Rubens and Skegss.

Changing Tides Festival is officially returning to Kiama in 2025, with organisers confirming the coastal celebration will hit the NSW South Coast on 22nd November, 2025. Now entering its third year, the boutique event is set to introduce some big changes—shifting from a two-day format to a streamlined single-day experience. It's also moving up the calendar, taking place in late November for the first time after previously being held in mid-December.

Held at the scenic Kiama Showgrounds, Changing Tides has quickly become a fan-favourite for its stunning beachside setting and homegrown talent. Last year’s lineup featured heavy-hitters like Hilltop Hoods, Ocean Alley, Lime Cordiale, Tones and I, and Ruel, along with emerging names such as Peach PRC, Mallrat, and Pacific Avenue. With the 2025 artist lineup now officially teased as “coming soon,” expectations are already high for another genre-blending, sun-soaked celebration.

The change to a one-day format reflects a new vision for the festival’s future—delivering a tighter, more dynamic programme while retaining the laid-back, surfy vibe that makes Changing Tides so beloved. Fans can still expect a stacked schedule of live acts, great food, and the coastal energy that defines the festival’s unique atmosphere.

With the artist announcement on the horizon, music lovers are being urged to mark their calendars and prepare for one of NSW’s most scenic summer festivals. Ticketing info and lineup details are expected to drop soon.
