Bastille Adelaide is a
Celebration of The Arts
This year we go bigger, bolder and louder Across four days and nights at Festival Plaza, our biggest program yet brings together rap, rock, indie, blues, pop, DJs, cabaret, can-can dancers and much more, all completely free.!
With over 40 live performances spanning every style and genre, there is something for every age, every taste and every mood. We are proud to shine a spotlight on local Adelaide artists alongside our French cultural program, creating a stage that belongs to the whole community.
From the first beat to the last dance, the energy never stops at Bastille Festival. Join our revolution. C'est Bastille!
Featured Artists
Across the festival, the soundtrack moves effortlessly from soulful and sophisticated to bold, high-energy and unapologetically loud. Expect everything from French jazz and cabaret with Tiffany Gaze Band, to dazzling, high-impact performances from Precizion Dance, bringing full Parisian spectacle to the stage. Live bands like Room 48 deliver powerful, crowd-filling sets, while DJs and roaming performers keep the energy flowing between stages. From smooth, sit-and-sip sessions to full dancefloor moments, the program is designed to surprise, delight, and keep audiences moving. This is a lineup that doesn’t sit still — and neither will you.

The Shambolics bring a rollickin’ Celtic energy packed with banjo, accordion, and lively whistles. Backed by a punchy, rockin’ rhythm section, they turn every set into a full-blown celebration. Expect foot-stomping beats, cheeky charm, and plenty of reasons to hit the dancefloor. Clogs optional… but highly encouraged.
