DMA's Headline Nice Day To Go To The Club 2027

South Australia's favourite independent festival Nice Day To Go To The Club returns for its fifth edition in 2027 with an exclusive Adelaide-only headline set from indie rockers DMA's.

What started as a spontaneous phone call from South Adelaide legend Fitzy and a stage on the back of an old fruit truck has transformed into one of Australia's best grassroots festivals.

Taking over Port Noarlunga Oval on Saturday 27 February 2027, next year's Nice Day To Go To The Club lineup also features pub-rockers The Chats, a reunited Funkoars, rap queen Miss Kaninna and punk icons Frenzal Rhomb.

Want more? How about Luca Brasi, The Pretty Littles, Radium Dolls, A. Swayze & the Ghosts, Ethanol Blend, GRUB, Xiao Xiao, Alien Nosejob, Sacrificial Larynx, Wedding Motel and all the way from the US, The Schizophonics!

"It honestly feels like a bit of a fluke that this festival keeps going the way it does," says Daybed Records and NDTGTTC founder Tom Redden. "It feels like a rare coming together of communities, being the football club community and the local music scene. Which has now extended out to a much wider community of music lovers, but still feels just as homely.

"Even with how the festival has grown, it feels the same as the first year, grassroots and local - you are quite literally going to see DMA'S playing on the back of a truck, and you’ll go to the bar and get served a beer by the under-14s footy coach. It’s so awesome."

The genius of Nice Day starts with Ryan Fitzgerald, who hit up Redden, co-founder of Daybed Records, to put on a music festival down south at his hometown footy club, Port Noarlunga Cockle Divers.

"I have to be honest. When we started Nice Day, we obviously needed to raise money for our club to survive. But selfishly, I wanted my favourite bands to play on the footy oval that I grew up on," says Fitzy. "It's still very surreal to know that the Cosmic Psychos, Bad Dreems, The Mark of Cain and international bands like The Bronx and Lambrini Girls have graced that hallowed turf and had more effect than I ever did with a Sherrin."

While it's a tough time for Aussie festivals, Nice Day has managed to thrive with four consecutive sold-out editions, with crowds growing from 1,500 to now 3,500+. Keen to keep the good times coming, those behind Nice Day have an eye on longevity, sustainability and community, so punters can expect cheap tickets, affordable drinks and kick-ass bands all day.

Nice Day To Go To The Club is held at Port Noarlunga Football Club on Saturday 27 February 2027. Ticketing information is available at daybedrecords.com.
