A Day On The Green Launches Its 24th Season This Weekend In South Australia!

Australia, you need a daycation … and fortunately, Daycation Season starts now!

a day on the green, Australia’s favourite outdoor winery concert event, is back – kicking off its 24th season this weekend at Peter Lehmann Wines in South Australia’s stunning Barossa Valley.

There’s no better way to escape the daily grind than by enjoying the a day on the green experience – good food, fine wine and great music at some of the country’s most magnificent wineries and outdoor locations.

Shake off the winter blues and spring into some hot fun in the summertime with this season’s hottest shows.

Since its first show in January 2001, a day on the green has become a cherished tradition and must-attend event. With 532 shows and counting, welcoming more than 4 million happy patrons, the a day on the green experience remains unrivalled and a highlight of the Australian concert calendar.

The 2024/25 season is set to be one of a day on the green’s biggest yet, with those summer days drifting away to a series of unforgettable summer nights.

South Australia will host four a day on the green events this summer – the most since the 2017-18 season – as well as FATBOY SLIM’selectrifying dance party rave at Peter Lehmann Wines in March. In a market where many shows are bypassing South Australia, or facing cancellations, these shows are something to celebrate!  

Kicking off this weekend with show 533, Daycation Season starts with a bang, with pop legends TAKE THAT and queen of the dance floor SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR lighting up the stage alongside Australian favourites RICKI-LEE and DACYTAKE THAT are making their a day on the green debut with This Life On Tour at Peter Lehmann Wines, Barossa Valley, SA on Saturday 2 November; Bimbadgen, Hunter Valley, NSW on Saturday 9 November; and their only Queensland show at Sirromet Wines, Mount Cotton on Sunday 10 November.
