After a hugely successful 2026 event, High Fever Festival is returning for its third edition next year. Music lovers are encouraged to get along to Three Brothers Arms in Macclesfield for a day of incredible live music, country hospitality and feel-good community vibes.

Taking place on Saturday 6 February 2027, the lineup features an array of local alt-psych, indie-rock and post-punk bands, with Druid Fluids headlining the bill.

They'll be joined by experimental indie outfit Coldwave, alt-rockers The Fuss, '70s-inspired five-piece Caressa, gritty rockers Grace Vandals and four-piece indie folk-rock band Darlington.

There is also a comp to choose the festival opener, giving one emerging act the chance to be part of this awesome festival. Ticket buyers nominate one new Adelaide band at the checkout, with the act that scores the most nominations elected to play the festival.

Those keen to kick on and make a night of it can camp for free overnight in the venue's backyard bushland, with a Sunday morning Brekky BBQ put on by the Three D Radio gang alongside acoustic performances to help bring you back to life.

Tickets are on sale now at highfeverfestival.com.

As champions of the local scene, organisers of High Fever Festival are all about connection and community, with the aim of creating a safe and inclusive space where punters can come together and enjoy live music.

The historic Three Brothers Arms is one of the oldest pubs in the Adelaide Hills, making it the ideal location for this event, with a special on-stage light and video installation by Joe Fuchsen adding to the good-time vibes of the fest.

Understanding how tough things are, High Fever Festival is also offering special half-price Community Tickets and $50 Early Bird Tickets to help with cost of living pressures. Every ticket holder also goes into the draw for an exclusive High Fever Prize Pack.

So if live music and community is your thing, grab a ticket to High Fever Festival III and enjoy everything great about SA's music scene at Three Brothers Arms next February.

High Fever Festival Vol III takes place at Three Brothers Arms on Saturday 6 February. 50 Early bird tickets are on sale now for $50+bf, with general admission tickets then rising to $70+bf. Grab your ticket now at highfeverfestival.com.
