Following a successful first year of fun, the Limestone Coast Beer & BBQ Fest is set to return to Mt. Gambier’s Railway Lands in 2025, boasting a supreme roster of musical talent.

Taking place over the weekend of March 8th-9th, the 2025 event has secured 18 music acts. Brissy rock band The Butterfly Effect, hot off of their Good Things sets over the last few weekends, will be headlining the Saturday with their Begins Here 21st-anniversary show, with Canberra rock group Hands Like Houses and legendary Skyhooks guitarist Bondo Starkie also leading the first day of the fest.

Day two will see Slowly Slowly and DZ Deathrays take the stage alongside Mannequin Death Squad, Destrends, and Flynn Gurry.

Following its successful debut in 2024, which drew over 5,000 attendees and won ‘Best Regional Music Festival’ at the South Australian Music Awards, the festival promises an even bigger celebration of music, craft beer, and BBQ.

For beer enthusiasts, the festival features an impressive array of 25 brewers, including Alice Springs Brewing, Woolstore Brewery, and Pirate Life Brewing. Additional entertainment includes a BMX jump show, silent disco, and unique contests like the beer bod wet T-shirt competition. Craft vendors, food stalls, and more round out the experience.
