New York rockers to headline stacked Harvest Rock lineup
The long-awaited Harvest Rock 2025 lineup has dropped, including major drawcards and an exclusive show from one of the world’s best rock bands.
Harvest Rock will return on October 25–26 after a one-year hiatus with a stacked lineup including The Strokes, The War On Drugs, M.I.A., Groove Armada, Pnau and more.
And this year, a solid contingent of local bands will take to the festival stages, having been noticeably absent in previous iterations of the two-day Adelaide music festival.
In addition to The Strokes performing exclusively at Harvest Rock, four-time Grammy-nominated country music singer Jelly Roll will be making his way to Australia for the first time.
Alternative rock icons The War on Drugs are another exclusive get for the festival.
Beyond the music, the Amuse-Bouche Stage will platform culinary stars, podcasters and comedians to showcase talks and ideas.
A showcase of Adelaide gastronomical delights will also take centre stage, including American-style classics from 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.
“The third edition of Harvest Rock delivers another impressive lineup that will bring music lovers from all around to Adelaide this October,” Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said.
“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.”
