SA’s Harvest Rock Returns in 2025
South Australia’s favourite music, food, wine and culture festival Harvest Rock has announced its third fest in Adelaide’s CBD for October 2025.
Harvest Rock Festival is locked, loaded, and back from the dead. Returning to Adelaide this October, the beloved two-day celebration of music, food, and South Aus culture is set to take over Murlawirrapurka and Ityamai-Itpina / Rymill and King Rodney Parks on Saturday 25 October and Sunday 26 October.
The 2025 edition promises another serving of genre-blurring global artists, top-tier curated South Australian culinary pairings, and some of the wildest wine options you’ll ever sip in a mosh pit.
As one of South Australia’s favourite festivals, Harvest Rock is a meeting place of music, culture, and good taste, bringing artists and audiences from across the globe to this shared experience. Think international heavy-hitters sharing stages with emerging Aussie favourites, alongside stand-up comedy, cooking demonstrations and curated wine bars showcasing SA’s renowned food and wine scene.
Festivalgoers can expect pop-up cellar doors and immersive culinary activations led by chefs like Africola’s Duncan Welgemoed and renowned wine critic Nick Stock, ensuring audiences are wined and dined with some of Australia’s best produce, and are ready to sing and dance their hearts out.

Since its debut in 2022, Harvest Rock has carved out a distinct niche in the festival calendar; uniquely South Australian, proudly boutique, and unapologetically indulgent. Previous lineups have boasted huge names like Jack White, Jamiroquai, Beck, Paul Kelly, Ocean Alley, Courtney Barnett, Crowded House, The Black Crowes, Sam Fender, Genesis Owusu, The Living End and Tash Sultana. And while 2025’s lineup is still under wraps, organisers promise a bill just as bold, eclectic and danceable.
After 2024’s festival was cancelled, this return marks an exciting time for festivalgoers and a bright future for South Australian arts and culture. Presented by Secret Sounds and supported by the South Australian Government through the South Australian Tourism Commission, Harvest Rock is a headline act in its own right, putting Adelaide on the national festival map.
The official Harvest Rock lineup drops on Monday 12 August, with presale tickets going live Tuesday 19 August, and General Admission on sale from Wednesday 20 August. Sign up for the lineup release now.
