Music
What is a festival without music? With a grand selection of musicians demonstrating the power of music in many different genres, Vegan Festival Adelaide is certainly a festival. Stretch out on the grass and soak up in the tunes, or take to your feet and dance.
Cal Williams Jr
Multi-award winning Blues singer/songwriter, Cal Williams Jr, combines the gentle fingerpicking of British Folk with the raw intensity of Delta Slide Blues to create a sound that is both intricate and powerful. Blues Blast Magazine, USA, said “Cal Williams Jr’s guitar work is impeccable under his gorgeous voice. A marvellous quilt of tones and textures from this masterful player” and Rhythms magazine said that “Cal’s gentle high tenor voice, delicate fingerpicking and snaky bottleneck fretwork evoke the sound of Mississippi John Hurt in his exceptional guitar playing”. Cal was recently awarded the ARBA Best Blues Soloist Award and was voted in the Top 3 Best Blues Guitarists for the Derringers Music Awards.
“Cal Williams Jr is musically a phenomenon. His unique, impeccable guitar style and singing are exceptional. From the first quick fingerpicking, Williams’ sublime guitar style is striking, with his voice sounding high and heavenly. Great Moose + Mary Trees”

The Domain
The Domain is a Producer, Engineer and Lyricist playfully navigating the intersection of various genres, creating an array of soulful electronic and organic tunes in various forms including Indie Dance, Synth Pop, Vocal House, Soul, Classic Hip Hop, R&B, Indie Pop, even Folk. The Domain has already captured the attention of the world’s biggest blogs, industry leading labels, commercial radio, and iconic Festivals, but it’s not about hype, it’s not about anything except the songs. The project is a culmination and cross-pollination of many influences, with a common theme that’s characterized by sweet down-to-Earth Pop vocals and an absence of ridiculous stupid hihats, screeching annoying synthesizers, or boring 10 minute repetitive drum loops.
Stormy-Lou
Stormy-Lou is a dual-fronted powerhouse, with Alex Flynn Taylor’s post-punk vocals blending uniquely with Mik Stoker’s fierce and dynamic harmonies to create a unique, and incredibly fun energy, translating directly into their performances. Inspired by powerful voices across the pop-punk and alternative rock scene comes Mik (she/they) and Alex (they/them) accompanied by lead guitarist Lachlan Nessbit (he/him), drummer Amy Parham (she/her), and bassist Alyssa Magor (she/her).
Lydon Groom
Having played music since roughly the age of 4, I’ve been involved in a small selection of local bands with differing levels of success, and occasionally play as a solo act, featuring my vocals and an acoustic guitar alongside some pedals for both. I play a mixture of covers (both well known and others less so) and a few originals, almost all with a different genre (folk, alt-rock, slowcore) so you’re bound to enjoy some aspect of my performance!
Destinezia
Destinezia is a four-piece indie rock band from Adelaide making dreamy, feel-good music for golden hours, late-night drives, and everything in between.
Formed by friends Kyle, Amy, Alex, and Eric, the band blends jangly guitars with laid-back energy and lyrics that keep things real. They've made their mark on local stages around Adelaide and landed spins on triple j. Now, they're setting their sights on the rest of Australia, making music to soundtrack good memories, even if they haven’t happened yet.
