7—29 July 2023

Illuminate Adelaide’s music program kicks off tomorrow, with legendary Yolngu rockers Yothu Yindi bringing passion and energy to Hindley Street Music Hall, celebrating NAIDOC Week. 

Along with Yothu Yindi, Illuminate Adelaide’s month-long music program includes boundary-pushing producer Oneohtrix Point Never (16 July) and beloved UK DJ Tourist (29 July), also playing at Hindley Street Music Hall. 

Polish festival Unsound returns to its home in the Southern Hemisphere for two massive nights (14 & 15 July), each with two events: Unsound Adelaide and Unsound Club. With a range of artists from Australia and around the world – including rapper bbymutha, visual artist Robin Fox, and Scottish sound artist Kode9 – Unsound is one for those who love something new, something exciting, and something bold. 

KLASSIK underground combines visual art with classical music, with Tahlia Petrosian returning alongside a new line-up of musicians from the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra and the renowned Gewandhaus Orchestra from Leipzig, Germany. Both concerts, which are held at Dom Polski Centre on 21 & 22 July, include a new repertoire featuring songs from Bartók, Cage, and Stravinsky. 

Live @ The Lab returns, with a line-up that includes both local and interstate favourites. The series kicks off tomorrow on 7 July with Slowmango and The Bait Fridge. Rapper, composer, and drummer Dobby takes over Nexus Arts for an electrifying live performance on 29 July. 

It’s a huge month of music with Illuminate Adelaide. Read more about it here.
