New South Australian Music Festival A Day In The Gully Kicks Off With A Stacked Line Up
Australia’s live music scene is heading to north-east Adelaide, with names like Chet Faker and Ball Park Music joining a stacked line-up for A Day in the Gully this summer.
The brand-new, jam-packed festival will be delivered by SRO Events (Standing Room Only), in partnership with the City of Tea Tree Gully and will land at Civic Park, Modbury, on Saturday, 28 February 2026. The event will bring some of Australia’s biggest and most loved artists to the heart of the north-east for the first time.
Expected to attract thousands of music lovers, the one-day event will be the first major national headline music festival ever held at Civic Park. Open to all ages, A Day in the Gully will welcome families and music fans alike to celebrate Australian talent, local food and wine, and the laidback community vibe that defines the region.
From chart-topping Aussie touring artists to emerging indie bands, A Day in the Gully offers a diverse mix of music and promises to mark a new era of live entertainment for the north-east.
The full A Day in the Gully lineup includes:
