Wanderer Festival has announced its lineup for 2023, and it’s shaping up to be a huge one.

The festival, which takes place in the beautiful Pambula Beach in southern New South Wales, has released over 40 names for its 2023 lineup, with more to come in the coming months…

The lineup includes a diverse range of artists from all over the world, from unstoppable psych-surf-rock outfit Ocean Alley, to the UK’s Django Django, who fuse classic psychedelia with three-part harmonies, garage rock, electronica, and Detroit techno into a kaleidoscopic treat. Gamilaraay woman Thelma Plum brings her sophisticated pop-folk, while Son Little (USA) lands as a torchbearer of American rhythm and blues.

The world-famous Flying Fruit Fly Circus, featuring Australia’s top young circus artists, will perform their gravity-defying circus cabaret Over the Top. Multi-instrumentalist Adam Page will deliver a master class in crafting improvised musical tapestries woven with equal parts charisma, humor, and skill.
