• What is Outsider Festival?

    Outsider is a 3 day, low impact, community focused, dance music festival. Outsider 2025 features a high calibre cast of local and international artists.

    Outsider is an ongoing project that is curated and managed by members of the Sydney based collective Headnoiz

    When will Outsider 2025 take place?

    Outsider will once again take place over the Easter long weekend, from April 18th to 21st.

    Music programming times vary each day. The exact schedule will be provided to all attendees before the festival begins.

    Ample time will be allowed on all 3 days of the festival to allow for rest and recovery for attendees and staff.

    Where will Outsider take place?

    Exact location will be made available to ticket holders in the week leading up to the event.

    Where can I buy tickets?

    You can buy tickets from ‘Tickets’ link visible at the bottom of this website. This will take you to our private Resident Advisor event page.

  • What's the best way to get to and from Outsider?

    Independent travel to and from the site is essential for all ticket holders.

    We recommend carpooling with a few friends and only packing essential camping equipment. Make sure you organise well in advance which of the members of your car will be driving and set aside enough time to arrive onsite before the gates close.

    Will I need a car pass?

    If you are arriving by car you will need to purchase a car pass as well as your festival ticket.

    1 Car Pass is required per vehicle

    The car pass encourages attendees to carpool which helps minimise our impact on site. The car pass will also help effectively layout the campgrounds with a priority on safety. This is available through our Resident Advisor event page accessible through the ‘tickets’ link on this website.

    When can I arrive at the site?

    In order to ensure the security of the event and safety of attendees. You will be able to enter the site between the hours of 11:00AM - 7:00PM on Friday 18/4 only.

    No access will be permitted on the Saturday or Sunday.

    Will there be a bus organised for Outsider 2025?

    No, there will be no coach organised by us.

    If you want to attend Outsider but can’t find a way to get there please email us at info@outsiderfestival.au and we will try our best to find a car pooling option for you.

    Eatz Kitchen will be the sole food vendor operating at the festival across all 3 days of programming. The vendor will have various vegan and vegetarian options available.
