When the warmer weather hits, there’s nothing we crave more than a colourful cocktail or delicious meal as we watch the summer sun set in the distance. Enter: Sunset Sessions, a free live music series on the Adelaide Festival Centre Riverdeck and Northern Promenade.
Not only have you got Neon Bar, Home Ground, Urban Beach, and Station Lane down there ready for your summer adventures, but now there’s a new destination set to turn your summer from zero to hero.
Featuring some of Adelaide’s finest musicians, the program runs across selected dates from Friday 28 December to 17 February. While you’re there, grab yourself some eats and drinks from newly developed The Star Kitchen and Bar (in the former Lyrics café site), and take in the beautiful views as you watch the sun set over the River Torrens.
It’s an ideal location to meet with friends and the perfect place to hang out between performances of Club Swizzle (Space Theatre), The Rocky Horror Show (Festival Theatre), or at many of the Adelaide Festival Centre’s upcoming 2018 events.
Here’s the highlights of the Sunset Sessions series:
