Hidden Forest Festival

The South Coast’s newest summer music festival, Hidden Forest, is coming to the beautiful coastal city of Shellharbour this December, as part of Surf and Skate Festival Shellharbour.

Hidden Forest Festival is tucked away in the magical setting of Blackbutt Forest, and will bring together a carefully crafted medley of local and national artists for a truly unique summer experience.

To kick-start Hidden Forest into its first year The Beautiful Girls will be headlining with their roots, folk-inflected pop, alongside three-piece, indie rock royalty The Grates.

Taking cues from the likes of Wold Alice and The Pixies, Triple J unearthed winners, Moaning Lisa will also be taking the stage. As well as Sydney band Erthlings, with their dreamy indie-pop sound, and Benny Walker with his guitar-driven blues and roots mix.

Finally, we have Illawarra locals Pacific Avenue and Lemon Row. Gerringong alternative rock quartet Pacific Avenue formed in 2017 and has already played alongside established acts such as Tash Sultana, Ocean Alley, and the Wombats. They will be rolling out some major summertime feelings alongside fellow South Coast indie surf rock duo, Lemon Row.

As well as great tunes that will see you grooving into the night, Hidden Forest has partnered with Illawarra locals Five Barrel Brewing and Simall Wines to provide you with craft beverages, brewed with love.

Whether you want to set yourself up on the hill and enjoy the summer bliss, or take a wander through the selection of beautiful hand-crafted market stalls, there will be a range of delicious food options to fuel your funky moves and keep your belly happy.

Fresh food, local beverages, rocking tunes, plus a yarn and a boogie with good company - smiles all round are guaranteed. Start gathering your mates and pack your picnic blanket, tickets are on sale now!
