Guitar Festival 2008

The 2008 Adelaide International Guitar Festival
Sat 29 Nov - Sun 7 December

The 2nd annual Adelaide International Guitar Festival has announced its dates for 2008:
Sat 29 Nov - Sun 7 December. It will again be held in the centre of the city for 8 glorious days at the end of the year, and preparations are in full swing for an exciting line-up to tempt any music-lover.

Musicians and fans who attended the 2007 event were glowing in their praise of the inaugural festival, the organization, the facilities - even the weather!

The full program will be launched on Wed 20th August in the Piano Bar at the Adelaide Festival Centre and will retain many of the winning elements of last year. Multiple-player line-ups, a broad cross-section of styles and world-class, international artists + loads of Aussie guitar gods & goddesses will again feature prominently.

Confirmed genres include roots, blues, classical, country and rock plus interesting collaborations and programming that defy description.

Our series of outdoor concerts are scheduled in the magnificent Elder Park, located next to the Adelaide Festival Centre on the banks of the River Torrens. These concerts will be themed to specific styles of music and our end of festival finalé - a tribute to a well-loved music icon - is guaranteed to be an absolute highlight.

The Festival Theatre complex will host multiple concerts from the more intimate performances in the Space Theatre to the magnificent surrounds of the Festival Theatre itself where classical music should always be heard at its best (and the seats are very comfy!) The popular "Late Nights at the Wah Bar" is back where solo & duo performances cater to the late-night crowd in often surprising and unexpected ways...plus so much, much more.
