South Australia’s biggest country music festival, The Bend Classic, is back for a three-day celebration of cars, country and camping. From October 24 to 26, the festival will take over Shell V-Power Motorsport Park at The Bend.

This year’s event features a lineup of Australian country music artists, including Casey Barnes, Kaylee Bell, The Wolfe Brothers, Travis Collins and Kingswood, for their only South Australian shows in 2025.

Casey Barnes says he’s “pumped to finally be heading back to South Australia this October for The Bend Classic!”. For Kaylee Bell, Australasia’s most streamed female country artist, it will be her first show in the state.

“We are so excited to be coming to play our first ever show in South Australia,” she says.

Beyond the music, the festival includes motor racing, nostalgia drags, wood chopping, whip cracking, car displays, and the inaugural Bend Classic Hill Climb. There is also a family zone with free rides for kids, making it an accessible weekend away.

Tickets are on sale now, with early bird pricing available until June 15. Admission is free for kids 15 and under.
