Summer’s already looking massive, and it’s only September. That’s because Changing Tides Festival has just dropped its 2025 lineup – and it’s a beauty. On Saturday 22 November, the Kiama Showgrounds will transform into the ultimate South Coast party spot.

Topping the bill is none other than Sam Fender, the Brit with a knack for heart-pounding anthems that make you scream-sing with strangers. We've already marked our calendars for his upcoming Aussie tour, ready to belt out tracks from his new record People Watching, alongside classics like Seventeen Going Under. Bonus: he’s bringing his mate and duet partner Holly Humberstone, whose dreamy, emotional tunes are guaranteed to pull at your heartstrings.
Also flying in is Noah Cyrus, serving up her goosebump-worthy alt-folk sound from her latest album I Want My Loved Ones to Go with Me.
Holding it down for the locals, we’ve got The Rubens back on home turf, surf-rock troublemakers Skegss, plus rising indie-pop stars The Rions and MAY-A. Boy Soda is bringing smooth R&B, Chloe Parché adds fresh energy, and viral comedy duo The Inspired Unemployed will debut their chaotic musical project, Retired Gentlemens League.
To top it all off, a triple j Unearthed winner will be announced to join the fun.
When and where is it?
Mark your calendars for Saturday 22 November 2025, at the Kiama Showgrounds on Dharawal Country, NSW. Expect sunshine, sea breeze, and an all-day soundtrack you’ll be talking about for weeks.
