According to Rolling Stone Australia, the first act of Harvest Rock Festival 2025 is Teenage Joans. Food and beverage will be led by Duncan Welgemoed from Africola and critic Nick Stock, as per Glam Adelaide.

The festival director, Ryan Sabet, talked about the upcoming edition of the festival in a press statement:

"We’re thrilled to see Harvest Rock return to its Adelaide home to deliver a festival that brings global stadium-sized artists to South Australia, while also championing the region’s world-class food, wine and culture for interstate guests. "

The director added:

"Harvest Rock not only drives tourism and benefits local businesses, but offers a unique festival experience for all ages across the local community and beyond."

South Australia’s Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison, added:

"Held in 2022 and 2023, Harvest Rock has contributed a combined $34.5 million to the State’s economy. We continue to see the impact major events like this deliver to our economy, while reinforcing our State’s reputation as the ultimate destination for bucket-list events – whether you are a sports fan, art lover, foodie, or just enjoy a good festival."

Harvest Rock Festival is supported by the South Australian Government through the South Australian Tourism Commission. It is presented by Secret Sounds. The festival was unable to continue in 2024 due to unstated reasons:

"Hey Harvest Rockers, and lovers of live music, wine, food and brew. We’ve been working hard to make Harvest Rock III another incredible event, however we have made the difficult decision to not hold the festival in 2024. We appreciate the ongoing support of the South Australian Government and we look forward to Harvest Rock in the future."

Harvest Rock Festival will be at the heart of the CBD. The festival will feature pop-up cellar doors and bars as well as VIP premium offerings. The festival will also offer wine tours, gallery visits, and dining experiences with internationally acclaimed restaurants.
