Rockin’ Harvest 2025: The Strokes, The War On Drugs, Jelly Roll and More!
Harvest Rock has announced the program for its 2025 event, set to take place over two days in Adelaide. One of the highlights of this year’s festival is the exclusive Australian performances by The Strokes and The War On Drugs, who will co-headline on Saturday. Both bands are making a return to Australia for this special one-night-only appearance, following successful tours in previous years.
The festival’s full line-up includes a diverse range of artists spanning various genres, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. On Sunday, American pop-country star Jelly Roll will take the stage as the headline act, joined by fellow American country artists Shaboozey and Drew Baldridge. The international lineup also features the return of M.I.A. after a seven-year absence from Australia, along with UK dance acts Skream, Benga, and Groove Armada, and Canadian pop singer-songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith.
Harvest Rock Festival first launched in 2022 with an impressive lineup that featured exclusive performances by Jack White, Kurt Vile, Crowded House, Khruangbin, and The Black Crowes. The festival made a triumphant return in 2023 with headlining sets from Jamiroquai and Beck, as well as Nile Rodgers & Chic, Ocean Alley, and Paul Kelly. Unfortunately, the event did not take place in 2024 due to the challenging circumstances that led to the cancellation of other major music festivals in the country.
The organizers have been working tirelessly to ensure that Harvest Rock III is an unforgettable experience for attendees. The decision to skip 2024 was a difficult one, but it was made to prioritize the quality and success of the festival. The lineup for the upcoming 2025 festival promises to deliver another incredible weekend of music and entertainment, set against the backdrop of the stunning Rymill and King Rodney Parks in Adelaide, South Australia.
The festival is set to take place on Saturday, October 25th, and Sunday, October 26th, with a jam-packed schedule of performances across multiple stages. In addition to The Strokes and The War On Drugs headlining on Saturday, the lineup includes Vance Joy, M.I.A., Lime Cordiale, Wolfmother, The Presets, Genesis Owusu, The Jungle Giants, Cloud Control, Vacations, Bag Raiders, Teenage Joans, and more. Sunday’s program features Jelly Roll, Royel Otis, Ministry Of Sound Classical, Groove Armada, Shaboozey, PNAU, Lauren Spencer Smith, Ruel, Sneaky Sound System, The Dreggs, Drew Baldridge, Julia Cole, Folk Bitch Trio, Mild Minds, Anna Lunoe, Velvet Trip, Towns, Coldwave, Colter, and Apollo.
Australian exclusivity is marked by The Strokes and The War On Drugs’ performances on Saturday, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans eager to catch these acts live. With such a diverse and star-studded lineup, Harvest Rock Festival 2025 is shaping up to be a must-attend event for music lovers from all walks of life.
