“A collective of the world’s best promoters and producers are curating The Nowhere Festival experience - bringing an unparalleled depth of creativity and music to explore and discover” Nowhere Festival Founder Jody Coker

The Nowhere Festival will be a festival like no other with organizers promising an “immersive labyrinth of festivities” set amongst the tunnels, passages, forecourts and industrial buildings within the site. The Turbine Hall will take punters in a “surreal industrial portal into the unknown”, while the outdoor stages - Eastern Apron, Red Room and Rabbit Hole will take full advantage of the Island’s historical structures and stunning harbour backdrops.

One-day tickets are available from $119 and a limited number of camping packages for weekend campers are also available.

Campers will stay in Cockatoo Island's award-winning urban campground with unmatched views of Sydney Harbour.

Accommodation packages range from pre-erected basic tents to premium glamping tents.

Tickets are on sale from Tuesday the 5th November at 9:00am. 
Registration for pre-sale is open now via TheNowhereFestival.com
