Joining them are folk faves Pierce Brothers, Grace Cummings, Folk Bitch Trio, and a special Johnny Cash tribute by Henry Wagons.
Expect to be swept up by sets from O and The Mo (NZ), Jack Botts, and The Tullamarines, with rising stars like Dust, MAD.DAY, and Sixten b2b Benjamin keeping the grooves going into the night.
Sunday doesn’t let up, with punk legends The Living End, crowd-pleasers Boy & Bear, and the soulful tones of UK powerhouse Jacob Banks taking the stage.
French electro producer Petit Biscuit, Nashville’s Nikki Lane, and a Cut Copy DJ set promise a genre-bending sonic journey.
Add in acts like The Vanns, Emma Donovan, Sylvie (CA) and a stacked local lineup, and Sunday is looking just as massive as Saturday.
Wanderer’s beloved Wanderhaus returns with a non-stop dancefloor curated by top-tier selectors including Chicka b2b Rangz, Swell Records DJs, and the ever-energetic Usual Suspects DJs. Expect late-night antics, seamless B2Bs, and unexpected dancefloor gems.
But Wanderer isn’t just about the music – it’s a world-class cultural experience. Expect immersive art, incredible food, and a vibe that perfectly blends big-festival energy with the warm, creative heart of the local community.
This year, presale ticket holders have 100 extra reasons to jump in early: for the first time ever, every transaction containing event tickets will be entered into a draw for a VIP upgrade. Wanderer doesn’t sell VIP tickets, so this is your only shot to soak up the festival in style. Think: front-of-stage comfort, a private bar, lounge seating and prime views for star-gazing between sets.
With this kind of heat on the first announcement, and Wanderer’s reputation for delivering unforgettable weekends, tickets won’t last long.
Get in quick or risk missing out on one of the most beloved festival experiences Australia has to offer.
