Two days. One beach.
Low Tide is a tiny festival on Placeholder Bay: two stages, local food, swims between sets and a curfew set by the moon. Six hundred tickets, then the gate shuts.
- Sat 13 and Sun 14 Feb
- Placeholder Bay
- All ages till 9pm
Pass 01 · The lineup
Small stages, big feelings.
Twenty acts across two stages, close enough to hear the waves between songs. Set times land a week before the gates open.

Before you pack.
Everything else is on the back of your ticket, or ask us at the info tent.
Can I swim between sets?
Yes, between the flags, with lifeguards on duty from 11am to 6pm. Low tide on Saturday is at 4:12pm, which is when the rock pools are best.
Is it accessible?
A boardwalk runs from the ferry to both stages, with a raised viewing deck, accessible toilets and a quiet tent. Carers come free.
What if it rains?
The show goes on under the big top. If a storm closes the beach, we refund the day, no forms.
