"Is This It?": Harvest Rock Teases The Strokes as Major Headliner as 2025 Lineup Announcement Delay Continues
Returning for its third year in October 2025, the South Australian festival hinted at the inclusion of the cult American indie rock band via its Instagram.
After sitting out 2024, Adelaide's Harvest Rock announced earlier this month that it will return for its third iteration in October of this year. The music festival, known for bringing international heavy-hitters to South Australia — like 2023's Jamiroquai and Nile Rodgers & CHIC, and 2022's Groove Armada and Jack White — has delayed the 2025 lineup drop, previously expected on Tuesday, August 12.
Last night, the festival teased a massive potential headline act via its Instagram account — posting a crowd photo with text overlay "Is This It?" and the caption "We know you were expecting the Harvest Rock lineup today, so… is this it?"

The mention of Is This Is It, the 2001 debut studio album by American rock band The Strokes, had indie music fans immediately taking to the comment section to express their excitement about the act's possible inclusion, with statements like "Skinny jeans are back!!!" and "I'm going to vomit. Am I actually going to see The Strokes?"
The festival will occur across two days this October, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th, with tickets available for either or both.
In addition to showcasing a plethora of local and international music talent, Harvest Rock will also cater to lovers of good food and wine (plentiful in the South Australian region), and with a third stage hosting culinary events and a live comedy roster.
While we still don't know when the full 2025 Harvest Rock lineup is set to drop, presale for tickets is still scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, with general tickets on sale on Wednesday, August 20.
Harvest Rock 2025 will take place at Rymill and King Rodney Parks in October. You can sign up for the presale and be notified about lineup announcements via the Harvest Rock website.
