South Australia’s biggest independent music festival is back and bigger than ever.

Beer and BBQ Fest is celebrating ten years strong with a huge bash at the Adelaide Showgrounds over the King’s Birthday long weekend, commencing on June 6th and concluding on June 8th. 

The event was crowned ‘Best Major Music Festival’ at the 2024 South Australian Music Awards, and is sure to enjoy continuing success.

The people responsible for organising this celebrated music festival year after year encourage punters and music-lovers to keep the festival going for decades to come.

Co-Director of Beer & BBQ Festival and General Admission Entertainment, Gareth Lewis, states: "Festivals, beer, hospitality, food, and live music are five of the toughest industries to be in during a cost-of-living moment.

“I am fully aware that Beer & BBQ Festival is a luxury, but it’s one that I think we all deserve. If you’ve ever been to a Beer & BBQ Fest event, we want to have a beer with you in June, because without your support right now this may well be the last one."
