Victor Harbor has waved farewell to the Rock’n’Roll Festival for another year, but the announcement Red Hot Summer in 2026 gives music lovers something to look forward to.

Kent Reserve will again transform into a stage set against the sea, with some of the country’s biggest music legends in the all-Australian line-up.

They include singer songwriters Paul Kelly and Missy Higgins, rockers The Cruel Sea, cool jazzy sounds of The Cat Empire, country queen Kasey Chambers and up-and-comer Jess Hitchcock.

The Red Hot Summer Tour will visit the south coast on Saturday 21 March, the final date of the series that starts in Victoria in January.

Tickets go on sale from Thursday 25 September.
