adelaide festival centre presents sessions: live music in the space

From 6-21 January in 2012, Sessions will deliver an assortment of live music from across the globe and Australia showcasing 18 acts over 11 nights in the Space Theatre. With international acts on their first Australian tours and others returning with brand new shows, Sessions offers a fresh take on music for a diverse range of tastes.

Adelaide Festival Centre Artistic Director Douglas Gautier says, “This fantastic new music season in January will see acts from Sydney Festival, MONA FOMA, Falls Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and some of Adelaide’s best performing in the Space.”

Expect the Space to become a new hub of musical treats in January with a relaxed club atmosphere. There will be plenty of space to dance and limited cabaret style seating.

With a happy hour running from 8 till 9pm on any night an artist performs, Adelaide Festival Centre encourages anyone to come and catch the summer vibe in the Space, have a drink and stay around for a set from a Sessions artist.
