The organisers of Adelaide’s latest summertime festival, Harvest Rock, say they hope punters come for the music and stay for the food and drink, once the two-day festival kicks off in November.

The headline acts – Jack White on Saturday, 19 November and Crowded House the following night – will entice a horde of music fans to Murlawirrapurka Rymill Park and Ityamai-Itpina King Rodney Park to enjoy the first taste of a packed summer season in Adelaide.

But it’s the mouth-watering selection of food options that will no doubt keep the crowds in the city-central parks.

The Feastiville Stage will feature Adelaide’s finest restaurants and eateries, while a collection of food trucks will dish out a variety of festival fare, like burgers, gözleme and dumplings.

Arkhé head chef and founder Jake Kellie – one of CityMag’s 40 Under 40 this year – is also bringing his open-flame concept down the road from Norwood.

Quenching an early summer thirst will be easy, with the festival’s destination bars, curated by acclaimed Australian wine critic Nick Stock.

The pop-up cellar door will offer wine tasting, and there’ll be whiskies, gins, vodkas and rums from Archie Rose Distilling Co. An alcoholic-free bar will also available for those who have work the next day – or anyone who isn’t too keen on sporting a hangover for day two.

Add to that a wine bar, a champagne bar and a beer hall, and the festival has got everyone covered.

There’s a variety of ticket options available, but there’s no going past the Harvest Lounge – a private indoor lounge with a cocktail bar and uninterrupted views of the Harvest stage deck.

Grabbing a VIP pass grants access to the VIP Village for the best view of the Harvest & Vines stages, VIP entry lanes, and fancy bathrooms (a good idea at any music festival).

Little ones can have their own fun, too, with Little Harvest, a mini festival inside the festival to keep them entertained.

Secret Sounds co-CEO and Harvest Rock producer Jessica Ducro says she was excited about the many and varied offerings within the festival.

“Presenting South Australia’s best-in-show food and wine offerings, including cellar door pop-ups, a mash up of chefs and musicians on our Feastiville Stage and Little Harvest for the kids, we’re excited to provide a festival with many different facets,” she says.

“We’re planning a good old fashioned get together – with great music, food and wine – so come experience Harvest Rock in all its glory.”

Tickets are on sale from 9.00am AEST Wednesday, 24 August at the Harvest Rock website.
