IN PARTNERSHIP WITH KICKS ENTERTAINMENT AND LIVE NATION 

Thursday 14 August – Today, Adelaide’s weekend feast of taste and sound Harvest Rock reveals its stacked 2025 lineup, featuring Jelly Roll, The Strokes (Aus Exclusive), The War on Drugs (Aus Exclusive), M.I.A., Vance Joy, Royel Otis, Wolfmother, Ministry of Sound Classical, Groove Armada (DJ Set), Cloud Control and many more. Promoted by Secret Sounds, alongside presenting partners Kicks Entertainment and Live Nation, this standout cultural and culinary experience of music, food and drinks is returning in its third year to Adelaide’s Rymill & King Rodney Parks / Murlawirrapurka & Ityamai-Itpina on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October

Across two days and two major music stages, a lineup spotlighting exemplary local and international musicians awaits festival goers. New York rock legends and cultural icons The Strokes join as Saturday’s headliner for an exclusive Australian performance. Needing little introduction, from their debut 2001 record Is This It the 5-piece swiftly became a leading figure in the post-punk and garage-rock revivals of the early-2000s, with their catalogue now spanning six studio albums. Multi-award-winning, 4x Grammy-nominated American country music star Jelly Roll will headline Sunday’s billing during his first-ever visit down under, celebrating his most successful year yet with 2024 Billboard #1 album, Beautifully Broken

Continuing to juice up Saturday’s billing is none other than Philadelphia’s heartland rock heroes The War on Drugs, back down under for a highly-anticipated exclusive performance. Beloved Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy is ready to serve up his festival-shaping anthems like the multi-Platinum selling “Riptide” and “Mess Is Mine”, while adored British rapper and singer M.I.A. returns to Australia with her eclectic sound palette and slew of megahits like “Paper Planes” and “Bad Girls”. Northern Beaches surf-poets Lime Cordiale will infuse the day with sun-soaked melodies, alongside Australian hard rockers Wolfmother with their very special 20th anniversary show, performing their debut self-titled album in full, including smash hits “Joker and the Thief” and “Woman” for the Harvest Rock crowd. 

The Presets are set to deliver their pulsating electro energy to the stage, as dubstep pioneers Skream & Benga make their long-anticipated reunion set. Genre-defying trailblazer Genesis Owusu unleashes his encompassing world-building and sheer energy to the mix, before festival favourites The Jungle Giants light up the stage with a high-octane performance. Beloved indie gems Cloud Control will continue their own 15th anniversary show run with a career-spanning set, as Newcastle rock act Vacations show why they are becoming one of the country’s most exciting exports and Bag Raiders have us seeing “stars” with a rare live set. Local talent is front and centre too, with punk rock duo Teenage Joans serving a hometown set not to miss, alongside indie-rock sweetheart Divebar Youth, riff-heavy Sunsick Daisy, indie rockers Oscar The Wild and alt folk darlings Any Young Mechanic. 

Australian indie rock stalwarts Royel Otis join Sunday’s lineup, capping off a colossal year of sold-out shows, major global festivals like Glastonbury, Lollapalooza and more, plus celebrating their forthcoming second album, hickey. Curing the Sunday scaries, Ministry of Sound Classical are celebrating the greatest moments in dance music with their wildly popular live orchestral experience and reimaginings of generation-defining tracks, while one of the most successful dance acts of all time, Groove Armada, make a special DJ set appearance. Trailblazing star redefining modern country, Shaboozey, blends his Southern roots, hip-hop swagger and viral, record-breaking song “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” live to Adelaide, alongside Australian dance icons PNAU and British-born Canadian singer songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith. Chart-topping homegrown favourite Ruel, Gold Coast indie-folk duo The Dreggs and idols of Australian electronic music Sneaky Sound System take their place on the bill, as Nashville’s Drew Baldridge and empowering singer-songwriter Julia Cole cook up a dose of contemporary country heat. Buzzed-about Melbourne trio Folk Bitch Trio will offer harmonic bliss while producer Mild Minds floats the audience down a stream of summer-ready electronica, as club legend Anna Lunoe delivers raw, genre-hopping electricity. Psych-rock visionaries Velvet Trip, as well as the Kaurna-based Towns, post-punk troubadours Coldwave, brit-pop sweethearts Colter and genre-blending producer Apollo round out Sunday’s programming with a fresh wave of emerging local sounds. 

In addition to its world-class international lineup, Harvest Rock’s unique offerings are closely shaped by its home on the doorstep of South Australia’s wine country, world-class culinary culture and diverse arts scene. Enter: the Amuse-Bouche Stage, a gathering place for culinary stars, podcasters and comedians 

to showcase talks and ideas. Hosted by breakfast radio presenters Ben Harvey and Belle Jackson, expect appearances from Nat’s What I Reckon, the Marmalade trio, surprise artists from the music lineup and much more to be announced! 

Away from the music stages, a spread of bespoke food and lifestyle activations will be on the menu all weekend, including bespoke pop-up cellar doors and buzzing bars, a curated by-the-bottle wine bar area, and elevated food experiences by local chefs and restaurants. Back for another year, Wildwoods & Cellar Door by Duncan Welgemoed & Nick Stock returns as the centrepiece of the festival’s food precinct. The duo have co-created a vibrant dining experience that champions South Australian producers, talent and venues, all within the open-air surrounds of Wildwoods Village. 

The American-style classics of Denny Bradden’s Dirty Doris Diner, North Adelaide icon Regent Thai, the South African-inspired dishes of Africola Canteen, Prospect’s cult pizzeria and pasta bar Anchovy Bandit and Eden Hills burger joint Gang Gang will all be on site, serving their mouthwatering delights and showcasing Adelaide’s vibrant food network. 

Spotlighting the state’s best in award-winning, world-class wines will be a gathering of local labels, open for tastings, sit-backs and ensuring a glass of South Australia’s finest is always in hand as you roam about the festival. Appearing this year are Ochota Barrels, Yangarra, Basket Range Wines, Murdoch Hill, Grant Nash, Sherrah, S.C.Pannell / Protero, Shaw + Smith / Other Wine Co, Henschke, Les Fruits / Parley, Bloomfield, Stoke Wines, Worlds Apart, Koerner, First Drop, Torbreck, Adelina and Champagne Taittinger, pouring a range of delicious drops sourced from vines across Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Barossa Valley and more. 

Top up and elevate your weekend away with some premium VIP offerings, including exclusive areas at the Harvest Stage and Vines Stage, the luscious Harvest Lounge for putting your feet up, or the Harvest Suites to add the ultimate dose of luxury to your accommodation. 

SA Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison shared: “The third edition of Harvest Rock delivers another impressive lineup that will bring music lovers from all around to Adelaide this October.

In past years we have seen around 30 per cent of ticket holders come from out of state, and the mix of significant international artists like The Strokes, as well as beloved Australian music legends like Wolfmother will again bring the crowds. 

Now is the time to start booking to make the most of our wineries, renowned restaurants and nature experiences in our tourism regions to bookend your Harvest Rock Festival weekend in South Australia.”
