The Presets locked in for free festival performance

Australian electronic duo The Presets will light up the Norwood Food & Wine Festival stage with a free headline performance featuring all their chart-topping hits.

The electronic stars are set to join the fun on Sunday 12 April at 5:30pm, performing to tens of thousands of footy and festival fans enjoying the AFL Gather Round buzz along The Parade.

Best known for tracks including ‘My People’, ‘Talk Like That’ and ‘This Boy’s In Love’, The Presets have won seven ARIA Awards to date including Album of the Year for their smash hit Apocalypso. 

The performance, which will include hits released since the duo’s debut album Beams in 2005, is part of the full day of festivities for this year’s Norwood Food & Wine Festival, which will also offer dishes and drinks from leading South Australian venues together with cooking demonstrations by leading local chefs in the Tasting Australia Kitchen.

More than 90,000 people enjoyed the Norwood Food & Wine Festival last year, a 28 per cent increase on 2024 attendance.

The 2026 event will begin at 11am, before the Geelong Cats vs West Coast Eagles match at Norwood Oval. Entry is free.

A range of exciting restaurant and beverage collaborations will be on offer at year’s Norwood Food & Wine Festival, with patrons invited to take their pick from dishes including pasta, flame-grilled wagyu burgers, porchetta skewers and Algerian-style paella together with local wine, beer and spirits. 

Gather Round patrons with a valid match ticket can travel free on the City-Norwood bus shuttle.

Premier Peter Malinauskas said free entry and a huge range of food and drink options make the Norwood Food & Wine Festival a fun, accessible way to share the excitement of AFL Gather Round as it returns to South Australia once again.

“This is also an amazing platform to showcase the best of our state to the rest of the nation,” he said.

“Live music always adds to the street party atmosphere, and we are thrilled The Presets will bring their unique style and energy to this celebration. It’s another major event win for our state.”

Julian Hamilton of The Presets said; “sport, wine, food and going crazy on the dance floor – that’s our kind of street party.”

“We’re pumped to perform for our South Australian fans again, plus all the interstaters who love Gather Round and the chance to spend time in this cracking city.”
