Tickets are flying out the door for a new festival coming to Kiama Showground.


Clearly Music, Arts and Wellness Festival will debut this November featuring live music, art exhibitions, market stalls, amusement rides and more.



Headlining the inaugural event across three stages is iconic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd, ARIA-nominated surf and garage rock trio Skeggs, and critically acclaimed singer-songwriters Ruby Fields and Gretta Ray.


Tickets to the all ages festival were released yesterday, with two of three releases now sold out.


Co-founder, Dom Furber, has always dreamed of delivering a festival of this scale locally.


“I was born in the area, attended school in Gerringong and Kiama, so have close ties to the local community,” Dom says.


The day before the annual festival will feature a one day workshop led by industry leaders for aspiring musicians, performers, songwriters, rappers, producers and DJs.


The conference and collaborative learning experience is designed to create clearer pathways to success in the industry.



“We can't wait to see the positive impact this festival will have on the community this year and in the years to come,” Dom says.


The event is funded by a $147,300 grant through Round Two of the NSW Government’s Regional Events Acceleration Fund, which aims to support the social and economic recovery and prosperity of regional NSW.
