ShowtimeFMX Freestyle Moto stunt team will perform across all four days in the TrAction Zone.
Drifting Demonstrations

Australian stunt rider and action sports athlete, Matt Mingay will bring his new Chevy Camaro, and a Ford Mustang driven by team mate Kent Dalton to the event, with the drift demonstration also featuring performances from local SA Drift Driver Jake ‘Driftsquid’ Jones.
The custom built cars will entertain fans throughout the event with performances scheduled over all 4 days.
Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This year the TrAction Zone will also feature a live performance from Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, on stage twice a day, every day of the event!
Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo are the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, trained in the art of ninjutsu by a wise rat sensei they call Master Splinter. Is New York City ready for these radical reptile brothers?
Honda Motorcycle Junior GP
Honda CRF50F fun bikes are available for children to ride throughout all four days of the event. A purpose-built circuit (even bigger than last year’s) has been constructed in the TrAction Zone. Children will be provided with helmets and race gear prior to riding around the circuit. The display will be open daily, so make sure you and the kids head over early to book your spot and see if your son or daughter has the skills to be Australia’s next big thing on the racetrack.
Australian Defence Force Display
Watch the Australian Defence Force strut their high-powered stuff with awesome aerial displays, state-of-the-art Army, Navy and RAAF equipment, hands-on experiences and the famous RAAF Fast Jet flyovers. As well as getting up close and personal with some serious hardware, this is a great opportunity to talk with the brave men and women who know what it means to put it all on the line.
There’s also the RAAF Working Dogs performing each morning of the event.
Concerts
Concerts featuring different acts are staged each night after the days racing. A bit too loud and late for the little ones, but Mums, Dads and older children can look forward to some great performers this year including the Hilltop Hoods, Seth Sentry, The Funkoars, Aradhana, Hunters & Collectors and Baby Animals.
