This Just In: The Strokes Are Headlining Harvest Rock 2025

Adelaide’s about to serve up a feast for the senses, and it’s not just coming from the kitchen. This spring, Harvest Rock will make its much-anticipated return to Rymill & King Rodney Parks / Murlawirrapurka & Ityamai-Itpina, and the two-day music, food and wine festival has just unleashed a monster lineup that’ll have you booking annual leave before you get to the end of this article. 

Who's On The Harvest Rock Line Up?

After teasing and taunting us on Instagram, it’s official: The Strokes are headlining Harvest Rock 2025, flying in all the way from New York City for an exclusive Aussie show.

But that’s just the top of the festival iceberg. Philly rock poets The War On Drugs are bringing another Aussie-exclusive set, country powerhouse Jelly Roll is making his debut Down Under, M.I.A is back with the bangers, and Groove Armada will have everybody on their feet dancing in the park. 

There’s plenty of homegrown heroes, too: PNAU, Genesis Owusu, Vance Joy, Lime Cordiale, The Presets, Royel Otis, Sneaky Sound System, The Jungle Giants, Teenage Joans and a whole lot more local love. Add in epic anniversary shows (Wolfmother’s debut album, Cloud Control’s 15-year bash), rare live sets (Bag Raiders) and reunions you didn’t know you needed (Skream & Benga), and suddenly spring has never sounded so good. 

What's Harvest Rock's Food And Drink Offering?

Of course, this wouldn’t be Harvest Rock without a stacked menu worth the ticket price alone. Wildwoods & Cellar Door by Duncan Weldgmoed and Nick Stock are back to captain the culinary lineup with an open-air dining experience that shows off SA’s best producers, venues and talent.  Refuel with Dirty Doris Diner’s American-style comfort food, spice things up at Regent Thai, grab South African-inspired eats from Africola Canteen, carb-load at Anchovy Bandit and rip into burgers at Gang Gang.  

It’s all washed down with South Australia’s finest drops—Shaw + Smith, Ochota Barrels, Henschke, Yangarra and more—plus a tighter selection of world-class wines including Champagne Taittinger for when you’re feeling fancy. 

What Else Is On The Harvest Rock Line Up?

Need a break from the beats? The Amuse-Bouche stage will be ready and waiting. Hosted by brekky radio’s Ben Harvey and Belle Jackson, expect unfiltered cameos from comedians, culinary superstars, podcasters and musos, including Nat’s What I Reckon and Marmalade.

And that’s just scratching the surface. Across 25-26 October, well over 65 artists, vendors, wineries and experiences will be keeping punters fed, fizzed and fully entertained all weekend long. 

Pre-sale tickets go live next Tuesday, 19 August via the website, with general sale opening the next day. If previous years are anything to go by, tickets will be snapped up quick-smart, so set your alarms and open those tabs for your chance to see The Strokes live. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
