Sam Fender, Noah Cyrus Lead 2025 Changing Tides Festival

Sam Fender is already touring across the country in November, but fans in Kiama, NSW, will get to catch him when he headlines this year’s Changing Tides festival.

The British singer-songwriter leads the 2025 event, which is stacked from top to bottom. Joining Fender at this year’s festival are American pop star Noah Cyrus and fellow Brit, singer-songwriter Holly Humberstone.

Elsewhere, the line-up features an abundance of Australian talent, including rockers The Rubens and Skegss, the indie stylings of The Rions and MAY-A, The Inspired Unemployed team’s musical foray, the Retired Gentlemens League, rising soul singer Boy Soda, up-and-comer Chloe Parché, and the final space for a triple j Unearthed winner.

Changing Tides festival will take place at the Kiama Showgrounds on Saturday, 22 November. In addition to international and live music acts, the event will feature an excellent day set against a coastal backdrop, curated food and drink offerings, and a community-led celebration.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Wednesday, 10 September, at 8 am AEST, followed by the general sale from 10 am the same day via Oztix. To find out more about the festival, head to the Changing Tides website.
