After proving a massive success this year, Port Lincoln's Rock The Bay Festival returns in 2027 with another bumper lineup, headlined by Brisbane indie stalwarts Ball Park Music.

Rock The Bay takes place at Centenary Oval on Saturday 16 January 2027, right in the middle of the Tunarama Festival, which runs from Friday 15 to Sunday 17 January 2027. 

The all-ages event features some of Australia's best musical acts while also putting the spotlight on Port Lincoln and the Eyre Peninsula, offering locals the opportunity to enjoy a festival experience usually reserved for city folk.

Joining Ball Park Music on the lineup are Canberra electronic duo Adam Hyde and Reuben Styles, otherwise known as Peking Duk, your dad's favourite rockers Thirsty Merc, surf reggae outfit COTERIE, emerging Adelaide boy band PASH, indie four-piece The Tullamarines and DJ Vyce Verso.

The boys from PASH are already counting down the days to the trip. "We are so excited to head up to Port Lincoln to play Rock The Bay this summer! A ripping lineup and a beautiful spot to play a show. If someone would like to take us out fishing, we're looking forward to exploring the peninsula and meeting some locals!"

Peking Duk adds, "We're so unbelievably excited to come to Port Lincoln for the first time ever for Rock The Bay Festival. Can't wait to party with you all!"

Exclusive pre-sale is open for those who signed up to the Tunarama mailing list from now for 48 hours, with the general on-sale taking place at 5pm ACDT Friday 30 October at moshtix.com.au.

"Tunarama is one of the Eyre Peninsula's most loved events, and the addition of Rock The Bay festival to the program has been loved by locals," said Danielle Jones, CEO of SRO events. 

"Rock The Bay is about bringing some of Australia's best live acts to Port Lincoln, and we're encouraging people to come to the Eyre Peninsula, soak up the festival, and make a weekend of it."

The anticipation is high, with Ball Park Music also expressing their excitement to head to Port Lincoln, adding, "Regional music festivals are such a special part of the Australian music scene. We can't wait to be part of a great day on the Eyre Peninsula."

Rock The Bay takes place on Saturday 16 January 2027. Ticketing information is available at moshtix.com.au.
