Rev Up & Rock Out: Get Ready for the BP Adelaide Grand Final

Adelaide’s iconic motorsport extravaganza is back, and it’s revving up to bring a weekend of big vibes. This 27-30 November 2025, Victoria Park / Pakapakanthi will be transformed into a high-speed playground as the bp Adelaide Grand Final takes over. But it’s not just about the cars. Over four jam-packed days, racing fans (and festival lovers alike) will be treated to electrifying track action, meet-and-greets with drivers, exotic vehicle displays, live music, luxe hospitality and plenty of family-friendly entertainment.

Looking to make the most of your weekend? The hospitality experiences on offer are designed to give you that extra VIP treatment.

Imagine sipping your favourite drink while soaking up the action from an exclusive suite or stylish garden bar. With gourmet grazing spreads, boutique bars, and trackside views, the luxurious spaces are perfect for anyone looking to indulge trackside.

For those who prefer a laid-back luxe experience, the Toyota GR Garden and Coca-Cola Grand Final Front Bar are the places to be - relaxed, comfortable, and perfectly positioned to catch all buzz. Or, if you're after an iconic view with premium perks, head to Senna Villa or the Pit Exit Suite for an unforgettable front-row seat to history in the making.

Whether you're planning a glamorous girls' day out or a relaxed weekend with friends, the range of premium suites and chilled bars blend comfort with excitement and cater for all tastes.

From high octane to high energy, global rock icons; Lenny Kravitz and AC/DC and JET, will be taking centerstage to keep the party going. When the engines cool down, the music cranks up!

On Saturday night, Lenny Kravitz will headline his Blue Electric Light Tour, with Aussie rockers JET and local talent My Chérie. Then, on Sunday, prepare for a thunderous finale as AC/DC takes the stage, supported by the electrifying Amyl and the Sniffers and indie act Oscar the Wild.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love a good dance, you won’t want to miss this concert series.

And of course, what would a motorsport weekend be without a parade? The bp Adelaide Grand Final Parade, presented by Experience Adelaide, will be rolling through the city once again on Wednesday, 26 November, starting at 4:55pm!

Kicking off from the Adelaide Street Circuit and cruising through the city to Victoria Square North, this year’s parade is bigger and louder than ever. Car enthusiasts looking for a spectacle, city workers leaving for the day and families excited for an after-school activity can all bask in magic before the cars hit the track!

Hutt Street is open and buzzing all race weekend, perfectly placed for your pre- and post-race plans. While only a small section closes for the track, most of the street remains open, with local favourites trading as usual.

From cosy cafés like Ballaboosta, The Old Croissant Factory and Coffylosophy to vibrant bars and pubs including The General Havelock, Bar Torino, Latteria and Nowhere bar, there’s no shortage of spots to fuel up or wind down.

To celebrate all things racing, we will be giving away $15 Experience Adelaide gift cards! All you need to do is find the Visitor Information Bike at Victoria Square / Pakapakanthi on 26 Wednesday November between 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM, and sign up for the Experience Adelaide newsletter. A hot commodity redeemable at various venues across the city. Think retail therapy with the best Black Friday deals available in Rundle Mall, your morning coffee on the way into the track, or a cheeky post-race drink in Adelaide’s East End... the choice is yours!

Whether you're here for the high-speed thrills, the rock ‘n’ roll energy, or just to kick back and relax in style, the bp Adelaide Grand Final is the racing event of the year. Want the latest delivered to your inbox?
