With 70-plus acts to be revealed in the coming months with a major announce planned in early May (stay tuned), event organisers have teased the 2023 line-up revealing the first 5 acts.Australian indie-rock royalty The Jungle Giants will be joined by rock & roll OGs Spiderbait, pop-folk singer-songwriter Lisa Mitchell ('California', 'Neopolitan Dreams'), the instant party that is Melbourne Ska Orchestra (led by the always effervescent Nicky Bomba), and the gorgeous-sublime tones of Texan singer-songwriter Kevin Morby ('Beautiful Strangers', 'Harlem River').
The music programme will be complemented by art, comedy, theatre, and circus performers plus a host of artisan workshops and stalls.

"With the dates falling on a long weekend for most of our audience, we know people will want to secure their tickets and start planning ahead.
"Wanderer has already built up a really strong following and people know to expect a diverse and well curated programme of established artists as well as hot emerging talent set in a stunning, boutique festival environment that produces a really special vibe.
"We really appreciated everyone getting behind Wanderer right from the get go, so the presale is a kind of thank you to them."
