When Adelaide Festival Centre opened 50 years ago, our city was forever changed. It opened our eyes to the world, opened our minds to new forms of art, and opened our hearts to the joy of live performance.
In 2023, they’re cracking open the bubbles, and inviting you to join them in celebrating 50 wonderful years of arts and entertainment.
They are hosting a year-round calendar of exciting events that look back fondly on their past and eagerly forward to the next half century. A special celebration on June 2 will be announced soon… watch this space!

The Cabaret Collective
Also this year at Adelaide Festival Centre is the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. It is set to blow away audiences this year with a stellar program and a star studded line-up.
Instead of one artistic director, this year the festival has chosen to host a collective of directors – The Cabaret Collective. Previous artistic directors including Julia Holt, David and Lisa Campbell, Kate Ceberano, Eddie Perfect, Ali McGregor, Julia Zemiro, Alan Cumming and Tina Aren will all play a role in this year’s festival.
A festival favourite and a truly magical event, The Variety Gala, has been pegged as a once in a lifetime spectacle with guests including those from The Cabaret Collective.
