Harvest Rock festival is returning to Adelaide after a year off in 2024, organisers revealed today (1 August).
Set to take place on Saturday, 25 and Sunday, 26 October, this year’s festival will return to its home of Rymill & King Rodney Parks in Adelaide.
According to a press release, just one act has been confirmed ahead of this year’s two-day event: local rock duo Teenage Joans. The line-up will be announced on Tuesday, 12 August—sign up here to receive updates from the festival. Pre-sale tickets will be available on Tuesday, 19 August, followed by the general sale on Wednesday, 20 August.
Harvest Rock made its debut in Adelaide in October 2022. It secured the likes of Jack White, Crowded House, Sam Fender, The Black Crowes, Kurt Vile and Hot Chip alongside local acts Tones & I, Goanna, Genesis Owusu, The Living End, Courtney Barnett, and Ruby Fields for a weekend of live music, killer cuisine, “innovative” bars, and art installations.
Making its return in October 2023, the festival locked in exclusive headline sets from Jamiroquai and Beck. It also booked Nile Rodgers & Chic, Aussie favourites Ocean Alley, Paul Kelly, indie rock heavyweights Bright Eyes, Built To Spill, The Lemon Twigs, Sparks, New Zealand’s Ladyhawke, Santigold, Warpaint, and many more.
In 2024, Harvest Rock took a break as organisers stated that they’d been “working hard to make Harvest Rock III another incredible event.”

Confirming the event’s return this year, Harvest Rock Festival Director Ryan Sabet said, “We’re thrilled to see Harvest Rock return to its Adelaide home to deliver a festival that brings global stadium-sized artists to South Australia, while also championing the region’s world-class food, wine and culture for interstate guests.
“Harvest Rock not only drives tourism and benefits local businesses, but offers a unique festival experience for all ages across the local community and beyond.”
SA Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison, added: “Music to the ears of festival lovers and our hospitality and tourism operators, Harvest Rock will return to Adelaide this October.
“The beauty of this festival is that it combines what we do best in South Australia – offering premium food and beverages and delivering memorable events. Held in 2022 and 2023, Harvest Rock has contributed a combined $34.5 million to the State’s economy.
“We continue to see the impact major events like this deliver to our economy, while reinforcing our State’s reputation as the ultimate destination for bucket-list events – whether you are a sports fan, art lover, foodie, or just enjoy a good festival. Get the dates in your diary, this will be a weekend not to miss.”
