Something unique and totally new is coming to the Adelaide Hills this May. The inaugural Gumeracha Medieval Concert is set to transform the town into a scene straight out of another era.
Under the stars on Saturday the 2nd of May, this first-of-its-kind event said it will be an unforgettable night of music, fire, food and fantasy. Organisers are already hinting it’s just the beginning of what will become a much-loved annual tradition. Held In Gumeracha, the evening concert will bring together international talent, immersive performances and a vibrant community atmosphere, all wrapped in a medieval theme.
Headlining the night is BordĆ³ SĆ”rkĆ”ny, a powerhouse folk-rock band travelling all the way from Hungary. Known for their electrifying take on āmedieval world musicā, the group blends authentic European songs and dances with original compositions, creating a sound that is both historic, folk-like and full of rock. With a lineup of traditional instruments including bagpipes, koboz, violin and medieval drums, their music is rich, dynamic and designed to get crowds moving, think ancient melodies with a festival-stage energy.
Since forming in 2010, BordĆ³ SĆ”rkĆ”ny has performed across 16 countries, lighting up stages throughout Europe and building a reputation for their bold fusion of past and present. Now, theyāre bringing that same big-stage presence to Gumeracha, ready to have audiences dancing like itās 1399.
Setting the tone for the evening is LyreByrd, delivering an enchanting dinner performance filled with atmospheric medieval melodies from 6pm to 7pm. As twilight settles in, the energy shifts skyward with Dragon Mill, whose fire-spinning spectacle will light up the night in a dazzling 15-minute display before the main act takes the stage.
Of course, no medieval gathering would be complete without a feast. A range of local food vendors will be on site throughout the night, serving up delicious eats and drinks to keep revellers fuelled as the festivities unfold.
Running from 6pm to 9pm, the concert offers a compact but action-packed program, perfect for families, music lovers and anyone looking to experience something a little different in the Adelaide Hills. Tickets are priced at $40, but with limited availability, organisers are urging people not to delay.
