About The Show:
Beer & BBQ Festival has gone back for seconds, hot on the heels of its first full scale lineup reveal, the festival today drops a brand new batch of brewers, food vendors, market stalls, Silent Disco DJs, and a whole lot more.
Piling even more flavour onto what is already shaping up to be Adelaide’s unmissable winter event at The Drive, Adelaide on July 10 and 11, alongside the already announce range of beer, BBQ and epic live music line up including TISM, Tropical Fuck Storm, Speed, Ratcat. The Mavis’, Party Dozen and more.
Today sees another round of brewers clocked on for the 2026 festival, with some heaps good locals alongside some stellar interstate blow-ins.
Balter Brewing arrives from the Gold Coast, the cult craft brewery cofounded by surfing legends Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Josh Kerr and Bede Durbidge, and Bells Beach Brewing, proudly independent and passionately local, taps in from Victoria’s surf coast with a fresh lineup of their finest.
Adelaide’s own Pirate Life Brewing needs no introduction to this town: one of the country’s most recognisable craft brands. Mismatch Brewing Co, nestled in the Adelaide Hills, brings champion lager pedigree, and from the stunning Eyre Peninsula, family owned Jump Ship Brewing makes the journey from Port Lincoln to pour their creative, community minded craft beers. Long Way Round, TAFE SA Campus Brewing, Yeo Haus and Tin Shed Wines round out the additions, ensuring the drinks lineup keeps getting better with every announcement.
On the food front, Melbourne BBQ institution Fancy Hank’s will make the trip to Adelaide, and it will be worth the wait. One of Australia’s most celebrated slow cooked BBQ joints, Fancy Hank’s cooks the old fashioned way: no gas, no electricity, just wood and time. Think 14hour smoked Wanderer brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and beer can chooks.
Joining them is Grunds Gourmet, bringing their beloved South Australian condiments and gourmet preserves to the stalls. Heat seekers will find their people at Old Uncle Moe’s and Chile Mojo, the cult chilli sauce and condiment specialists, while The Rub Society and Big G’s Jerky cover the smoky, spiced up end of the meat spectrum.
The market precinct gets a serious injection too. Vinyl hunters can lose themselves (and their bank accounts) with Crackle & Pop Records and Underground Records. The daredevils can book in at House of Daggers Tattoo. Custom hat specialists Hide & Horn and The Offbeat Sock Company will have your head and feet covered.
Riot City Wrestling, Adelaide’s homegrown professional wrestling powerhouse, a beloved fixture at the festival since 2006, brings the body slams, the drama, and the spectacle to The Drive. Adding to the muscle power is the SA Titans Arm Wrestling Club, who will be set up and waiting for anyone brave enough to take a seat across the table. The On The Flipside Live Art Project will be creating real-time art pieces across the weekend.
PLUS, Silent Disco, with DJ’s who’ll have you dancing like nobody else is listening include Band Banta • Connor Hudson • Disco Dave • Dojo Rise • Jazzy • Jongo Bones & The Barefoot Bandits • Leah Tait • Lola • Old Krasty • Phoebe Snow • Space Jams • Thunder Speaks • Tonix • Young Offenders
