A popular Australian music festival has announced it will be taking a break this year.<\/p>\n
Harvest Rock Festival, held in Adelaide, revealed on Friday the event will not return for 2026.<\/p>\n
“Harvest Rock will be taking a fallow year in 2026,\u201d a spokesperson wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know this will be disappointing news to many of you, but good things take time, and we\u2019re already working on future plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate the ongoing support of the South Australian Government in making the event a huge success to date, and we look forward to partying with you soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Adelaide festival had been rumoured to welcome a host of big names later this year.<\/p>\n
LCD Soundsystem, Raye, The Cure, The Black Keys and Djo were just some of the acts fans were expecting to be announced as part of the line-up in 2026.<\/p>\n
Fans were disappointed by the news as one person commented: “Not to be dramatic but this was the only thing I was looking forward to this year.”<\/p>\n
“This is crushing news given that LCD Soundsystem and The Cure were rumoured to be playing,” another said.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time the festival has been cancelled and in 2024, Harvest Rock organisers Secret Sounds abruptly cancelled the event before it returned last year.<\/p>\n
A staggering 38,000 music lovers attended the festival at Rymill and King Rodney Parks last year.<\/p>\n
Hard Rock Festival was headlined by New York rockers The Strokes and Jelly Roll last year.<\/p>\n
Wolfmother, The War on Drugs, Vance Joy and M.I.A., were also on the line-up.<\/p>\n
The Adelaide festival is not the first major festival to announce it will not return this year.<\/p>\n
Aussie DJ Fisher postponed his Out 2 Lunch music festival, which was due to run from May 2 until May 10 across Melbourne, Gold Coast, Sydney and Perth, until 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A popular Australian music festival has announced it will be taking a break this year.
