Get ready for a weekend of cold brews, mouthwatering BBQ and live music when Beer & BBQ Fest returns to the Adelaide Showgrounds in Wayville this June.
Taking place over the King’s birthday long weekend (June 6-8), a month earlier than usual, this year’s edition of the annual fest now includes a third night of frivolities. The bonus Sunday night is called ‘Legends Night’, so expect something bloody legendary to be announced.
The full lineup of breweries, producers and bands drops Thursday, March 13, but those eager to score their tickets early can do so by purchasing pre-sale tickets (single-day and full weekend tickets) now via Moshtix.
Organisers are promising “the biggest line-up we have ever seen in our 10 years of beers,” with the limited pre-sale tickets priced at 2024 general releases prices, meaning you’ll save between 18-41% depending on the type of tickets you purchase. Bargain!
But before Beer & BBQ Fest hits Adelaide, the festival returns for its second edition on the Limestone Coast this weekend.
Running from Saturday, March 8 to Sunday, March 9 2025 at Mt Gambier Railway Lands, punters can select from over 20 breweries and distillers and a wide range of food producers dishing up tasty BBQ.
On the live music front, catch sets from pop punkers Slowly Slowly, Brisbane rockers DZ Deathrays and alt-rockers The Butterfly Effect, who are celebrating the 21st anniversary of their debut album, Begins Here.
If that’s not enough action, Beer & BBQ Fest also features a wide range of fun activities, experiences and market stalls, including BMX action, axe throwing, a hot dog eating competition, the return of the Silent Disco, a temporary tattoo parlour, a beer bod wet t-shirt competition and more.
