The Fleurieu Peninsula’s family-friendly Front Yard Festival returns in 2025. Expanding to a two-day event, the festival features a wicked lineup of Aussie musos, food trucks, bars and plenty of activities for the kiddies.
Held at Middleton Winery in Middleton over the Easter long weekend from Friday, April 18 to Saturday, April 19, festival organisers promise two days of “great music, food, wine, brews, markets and camping.”
Front Yard Festival commences on Good Friday with the Middleton Muster Country Show. The day includes a raging lineup of musical acts headlined by country outlaws Ryan Underhill and the Briar Patch. Also taking to the stage are Victoria’s indie folk duo Ally Row, country music act Brad Chicken and the Bootstraps, singer-songwriter Drew Akin, Philly McKinnon and DJ Dusty Trails presenting Old Town Rd Country Dance Party.
Saturday night sees more fantastic music from Aussie Green Day tribute act Basket Case performing alongside soulful group The Shizzle, musical ensemble All About Her, Alley Row (performing double duty), Lucas Day Band, Jayde McSeveney and Ciaram Granger. Andrew Baldino will host the day.

Not only have organisers added another day to the festival this year, but they’ve promised more food trucks and beverage options for punters, along with an artisan market and additional toilets to cater for what is shaping up as a massive crowd ready to converge on the coast.
There’ll also be a petting zoo with everyone’s favourite sheep, Kevin and Enid, while dogs on leads can attend, although organisers have said “noisy, unruly or intoxicated dogs will be asked to be removed.”
Camping is available for those looking to make a weekend of it, with 1-3 day caravan/tent sites up for grabs. Those who prefer more modern facilities can book nearby accommodation at a plethora of local hotels. Airbnb is also an option.
Front Yard Festival has plenty of ticketing options, with single day tickets and weekend passes on sale, although the first release has sold out and the second release is close to following suite.
Front Yard Festival takes place at Middleton Winery, Middleton, from Friday, April 18 to Saturday, April 19. Tickets on sale now via Moshtix.
