Guy Sebastian, Missy Higgins and The Teskey Brothers to headline this year's Handpicked Festival!
We are celebrating our tenth anniversary this year with a blockbuster all-Australian line-up!
Adelaide’s own Guy Sebastian will headline this milestone event, joined by Missy Higgins, Kita Alexander, The Living End, Old Mervs and The Teskey Brothers on our beautiful lawns at Lake Breeze Wines on Saturday November 14.
Tickets went on sale last week and today we announced the line-up. Already more than 65 per cent of tickets have been sold before a single artist was revealed.
For our niece Kate, who heads up the Handpicked Festival, this milestone line-up feels particularly special. “Having Guy Sebastian at Handpicked for our tenth birthday feels incredibly special. He’s one of Australia’s most iconic artists and someone whose songs have been part of the soundtrack to so many people’s lives. We’ve wanted to welcome Guy to Langhorne Creek for a long time, so having him make his Handpicked debut in our milestone year feels like the perfect fit,” Kate said.
Missy Higgins will return to Handpicked and Lake Breeze for the second time, bringing her beloved catalogue of Australian songwriting back to our vineyard stage. “We feel like Missy is part of the Handpicked family now. Last time she performed here, there was such a special connection between her and the crowd. Her songs have a way of stopping people in their tracks, and we’re thrilled to welcome her back for our tenth anniversary,” Kate said.
The Living End will make their Handpicked debut and close the stage, while Kita Alexander will bring her sun-soaked indie pop to the lawns. Old Mervs will add their surfy, guitar-driven sound to the day, and The Teskey Brothers will return after what organisers describe as one of the festival’s most memorable past performances.
Our Handpicked Festival has become one of SA's most loved regional festivals, combining live music, award-winning wines, food trucks and its signature cocktail forest.
What began as a small grassroots event with 2,500 people has grown into a major regional success story, drawing a record crowd of 8,000 last year and generating interest and awareness of our Langhorne Creek wine region.
"We see people who came in 2014, now bringing their kids. We see groups who plan their entire year around it. There are some festival-goers who have attended every single festival. That level of return means you’re not just selling tickets, you’re building something people genuinely connect to,” Kate said.
We are looking forward to our 10th Handpicked Festival this year on Saturday 14 November at Lake Breeze!
