A Day in the Gully is a one-day music festival at Civic Park, Modbury, on Saturday 27 February 2027, with gates open from 12pm and the finish at 11pm. General admission starts at $135 plus fees on Moshtix, the festival is all ages, and the headliners include The Veronicas, Peking Duk, Xavier Rudd and Ruel.
The City of Tea Tree Gully says the festival is returning after an inaugural event, and that the organiser is SRO Events (Standing Room Only). This guide pulls together what the festival website, the Moshtix event page and the City of Tea Tree Gully page say, all read on Saturday 31 October 2026. South Australia is on daylight saving in February (UTC+10:30), so every time here is Adelaide time. The festival is four months away, so details may still change.
How much are A Day in the Gully tickets?
Moshtix lists three paid ticket types, each in a first release and a final release, plus a free ticket for children aged 5 and under. The prices below are the ones on the Moshtix page on 31 October 2026. The listed total includes the booking fee for each ticket, and Moshtix adds a separate transaction fee of $3.10 to the total order value.
| Ticket | Ticket price | Fee per ticket | Total shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| General admission 16+, first release | $135.00 | $4.06 | $139.06 |
| General admission 16+, final release | $165.00 | $4.64 | $169.64 |
| General admission 6 to 15 years, first release | $55.00 | $2.50 | $57.50 |
| General admission 6 to 15 years, final release | $65.00 | $2.69 | $67.69 |
| Premium Area 18+, first release | $210.00 | $5.52 | $215.52 (shown as allocation exhausted) |
| Premium Area 18+, final release | $240.00 | $6.11 | $246.11 |
| General admission 5 and under | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
The Premium Area is described by Moshtix as a dedicated 18+ area with a private bar, shaded spaces, bathrooms and unreserved seating, plus VIP entry. On 31 October the first-release Premium ticket was marked “Allocation Exhausted”. The other ticket types showed quantity choices, but Moshtix warns that ticket options may sell out or become unavailable at any time, and that tickets are not refunded because an option is unavailable.
Moshtix does not say when the first release ends and the final release begins, so we cannot tell you how long the $135 price will last. The City of Tea Tree Gully lists the first public release as Monday 26 October at 8am.
Is the resident presale still open?
No. The City of Tea Tree Gully’s page gives the resident presale as opening on Thursday 22 October at 8am and closing on Sunday 25 October at 11:59pm, unless it sold out first. The City says residents get first access to discounted presale tickets. The festival’s FAQ says the presale link goes only to Tea Tree Gully residents who are signed up to the City’s eNewsletter, and that no ID is needed to prove you live in the area.
If you were in the presale and did not get your link, the FAQ says to check your inbox and junk folder, then email events@cttg.sa.gov.au from the same address you signed up with. The City’s page gave the lineup release as Tuesday 20 October at 8am, which matches the 2027 lineup now on the festival website.
Who is playing at A Day in the Gully 2027?
The festival’s lineup page names twelve acts. Moshtix lists ten of them under the heading “performance order”: Peking Duk, The Veronicas, Xavier Rudd, Ruel, J-MILLA, Yung Milla, Thirsty Merc, PASH, Jeane and Zara Chantelle. The festival website adds two DJs, Vyce Verso and Checkers. Neither page gives set times or stage names, so we cannot tell you who plays when.
| Act | What the festival says about them |
|---|---|
| The Veronicas | Hits including “4ever”, “Untouched” and “In My Blood”; sixteen Australian Top 10 singles |
| Peking Duk | Canberra-born electronic duo; hits include “High”, “Stranger” and “Fake Magic” |
| Xavier Rudd | Multi-instrumentalist known for looping; ten studio albums and an APRA Award |
| Ruel | Pop singer with over 3 billion global streams; debut album 4TH WALL |
| Thirsty Merc | Sydney band formed in 2002; “In The Summertime” is the Bondi Rescue theme |
| J-MILLA | Hip-hop artist born in Darwin and now based in Adelaide |
| Yung Milla | Hip-hop artist; the festival says he won The Voice Australia in 2026 |
| PASH | Adelaide pop-rock four-piece |
| Jeane | Melbourne (Naarm) indie-pop rock band |
| Zara Chantelle | 19-year-old pop-rock singer-songwriter from Adelaide |
| Vyce Verso | Adelaide DJ |
| Checkers | Fronts the DJ collective Marmalade AUS, which the lineup page describes as known for lively, high-energy sets |
These descriptions are the festival’s own, so treat them as promotion rather than independent verification.
What time do the gates open and close?
The FAQ says gates open at 12pm and the event finishes at 11pm. That is eleven hours on site, and the festival has not published when each act starts. If you want to see a particular act, wait for the running order before you plan your arrival. Moshtix sales for every ticket type close at 11pm on 27 February 2027.
Can I bring my kids to A Day in the Gully?
Yes. The festival calls itself an all-ages event, and Moshtix labels it the same way. The FAQ sets out the rules this way:
- Children aged 6 to 15 need a General Admission 6 to 15 years ticket.
- Children aged 5 and under are free, but you must still book a General Admission 5 and under ticket together with a paying adult ticket.
- Everyone under 18 must be with a responsible adult at all times. Security will not let children enter or leave the grounds unless a responsible adult is with them.
The 5-and-under ticket on Moshtix can only be added alongside a General Admission or Premium Area ticket, so book the adult ticket first. The Premium Area is for adults aged 18 and over.
What should I bring, and what is banned?
The FAQ recommends bringing your ticket (a printed PDF, or a screenshot on your phone before you leave home), valid photo ID, a hat, sunscreen, medication (especially for asthma, allergies or hay fever), clothes to suit the weather, sensible shoes and an empty reusable bottle to fill at the hydration stations.
| Allowed | Not allowed |
|---|---|
| Low-standing, beach-style chairs, on the sides of the grassed areas | Glass, including bottles and baby food containers |
| Blankets (the festival prefers these to chairs) | Sunshades, tents, tables and umbrellas |
| Empty drink bottles to refill at water stations | Outside food and drinks, including pre-packed snacks |
| Baby food and formula | Alcohol and illicit substances |
| Service dogs | Pets of any other kind |
| Companion cards, shown to gate staff | Drones and remote-control aircraft or cars; professional cameras and audio recording devices; weapons and knives |
The festival says seating will be limited and recommends a Premium Area ticket if you want unreserved seating. It also says accessible toilets and clearly marked accessible pathways will be provided.
What ID do I need to drink?
To get an over-18 wristband you must show one of three things: a current passport, a current valid Australian driver’s licence or a government-issued proof of age card. The FAQ says student ID cards do not qualify for over-18s, and neither do bills or letters. Without accepted ID you are treated as a minor and excluded from all bar service. The festival’s home page promises crafted wine, beer and cocktails from producers “from the Gully and beyond”, and the FAQ promises food trucks with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices.
How do I get to Civic Park, and where do I park?
The only location detail the organisers give is the address: Civic Park, 995 North East Road, Modbury SA. The festival website, the FAQ, Moshtix and the City’s page do not mention car parks, drop-off zones, shuttle buses, public transport routes or road closures. We have not found an official transport page for this event, so we cannot name a stop or a car park.
Because the finish is 11pm, it is worth checking nearer the date how you will get home, since the official pages do not say whether extra services will run. Put “Civic Park, 995 North East Road, Modbury” into the Adelaide Metro journey planner once the festival publishes its travel advice, and check the result against the 12pm to 11pm hours.
What do the official pages not say?
As of 31 October 2026, none of the three sources covers the following, so we have left them out rather than guess:
- Set times, stage layout and the order the acts play.
- Parking, buses, taxi and rideshare drop-off, and road closures around Civic Park.
- Wet-weather or extreme-heat arrangements, and how much shade there is outside the Premium Area.
- Whether you can leave and re-enter, and whether food and bar stalls take cash or cards only.
- When the final release replaces the first release for general admission.
The FAQ page also does not say which year it was written for. It carries the 27 February 2027 date in its footer and its ticket answers match the Moshtix page for 2027, but if an answer matters to you, such as a rule about chairs or ID, check the festival website again closer to the day.
Can I get a refund or give my ticket to someone else?
The FAQ says there are no refunds, credits or exchanges on any ticket except as required by the Live Performance Australia Industry Code of Practice, for example if the event is postponed or cancelled. Names are not printed on tickets, so a valid ticket that has not been scanned will get its holder in. The festival strongly recommends sending a ticket directly to the friend you are giving it to, not sharing it publicly, to avoid scams and duplicates. Each ticket has its own barcode, so you can enter separately from friends who bought your ticket for you.
If you did not receive your ticket or cannot open the file, the FAQ says you can access and print it from the Moshtix website. Moshtix handles spelling mistakes in email addresses and order questions.
