Soma is only what it is because of the people in it. Please take these non-negotiables to heart to help us collectively shape a space where everyone feels safe, welcome, and free to express themselves.

• Respect for Country ~ we are privileged to gather on the unceded lands of the Wiradjuri peoples and pay our deepest respects to Wiradjuri Elders past and present. Honour Country, its custodians, and tread with care.
• Collective care ~ everyone who arrives with care and kindness is welcome. Take care of your friends, fellow dancers, and yourself. If you need support, reach out to any crew member.
• Respect & safety ~ harassment & discrimination of any kind, such as racism, sexism or queerphobia, has no place here. Consent is non-negotiable and only yes means yes. If you see something that doesn’t feel right ~ say something.
• Be present ~ keep phones and chats away from the dancefloor. Respect others’ privacy and embrace the chance to disconnect and express freely.
• Leave no trace ~ carry out everything you bring in. Take care of this land so we can return to it.

Come open, curious, and kind.

Soma is an independent, community-run festival. Every ticket sold goes directly towards making the weekend possible ~ from artists, sound and production to medical, harm minimisation and waste management. Purchasing your ticket early makes a real difference ~ it helps us lock in suppliers, plan ahead, and build the kind of weekend we all want to be part of.

We're grateful for every person who chooses to spend their weekend with us ~ thank you for the support.

We offer an allocation of free tickets to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. To access these, please reach out via hello@soma-festival.com.

Ticketing terms and conditions are here.

If your plans change, tickets can be resold or transferred via Resident Advisor's official resale platform. We can't verify tickets purchased outside of RA, so please only buy through official channels.

We are so pleased to be returning to Nacki Nacki Farm this Spring ~ on Wiradjuri Country, Mount Adrah NSW. Rolling hills, open skies, and a natural amphitheatre that holds the last warmth of the setting sun.

The site is about 4.5 hours drive from Eora/Sydney, 5 hours from Naarm/Melbourne and 2 hours from Canberra. Please carpool if you can.

Gates open Friday 6 November from 12pm ~ arrive early for the Welcome to Country and first artists if you’re able to.

We ask that everyone is off site by Monday afternoon. There are no pass outs during the event for safety reasons.

We want Soma Festival to be enjoyable for everyone. If you have any specific accessibility questions or requests, please reach out ahead of time at hello@soma-festival.com so we can do our best to help out.
