Changing Tides Festival Cancelled, Won't Return

Organisers announced automatic refunds within five to seven business days, giving no reason for the shutdown.

Overview

  • The cancellation was confirmed to ticketholders on 24 October, less than a month before the planned 22 November event in Kiama, NSW.
  • Refunds will be issued automatically to the original payment method within five to seven business days, with no action required from purchasers.
  • The one-day festival was scheduled for Kiama Showground and had promoted a mix of international and Australian acts.
  • The 2025 lineup included Sam Fender, Noah Cyrus, Holly Humberstone, The Rubens, Skegss, MAY-A, Boy Soda and others.
