“Indie-rock tunes and a punk as fuck performance, Cloud Nothings tore the Oxford Art Factory apart (2014)” – Blunt Mag
“Cloud Nothings pair fuzzy power-chord riffs with pop hooks on” – Rollingstone
“The band seems to be hitting their stride ever more intently (each record could perhaps be assessed as the band hitting their stride, which speaks to the group’s impressive consistency)” – Pitchfork
“Cloud Nothings have mastered the art of thrashing catharsis, pummeling out the anxieties of nostalgia and expectation with bloody verve.” – Pitchfork
“They’re certainly not holding anything back when it comes to the tightness and quality of their performance.” – London In Stereo
“Cohesive and loud, the Ohio band tear through the track, yet the music competes against the resistance of the acoustics.” – The Music

ADELAIDE FESTIVAL 2018
Program Announcement
Follow ADELAIDE FESTIVAL
Facebook
Tour Dates
The stellar program features 48 theatre, music, opera, dance, film and visual arts events alongside Adelaide Writers’ Week and WOMADelaide.
The line up includes four world premieres, 14 Australian premieres and 13 events exclusive to Adelaide over 17 days from 2 March to 18 March 2018.
MUSIC
In 2015 Felix Riebel, lead singer of The Cat Empire, took up residence in the Pilbara to spend time on the land and hear the stories of the Yindjibarndi community. Out of it came Spinifex Gum – an album, a live performance and a shared passion to ignite change. Powerful in content and style, a series of unique, topical and inspiring new songs have been developed in collaboration with Marliya– an ensemble of Aboriginal and Torres Strait teenage singers from Gondwana Choirs and guest artists including Ollie McGill, Briggs and Emma Donovan. This stirring, joyous and thrilling concert will be performed at Her Majesty’s Theatre for one night only.
Chamber Landscapes returns to the 2018 Adelaide Festival with a glorious new program curated by Iain Grandage (composer and musician on The Secret River). A festival within the Festival, Compassion: Chamber Landscapes is five days of some of the world’s finest musicians playing at the beloved UKARIA Cultural Centre at Mount Barker summit in the Adelaide Hills. Featuring work written during or in response to times of human conflict, UKARIA will glow with the voices of Anne Sofie von Otter, soprano Taryn Fiebig, Lior, and the playing of Australia Ensemble, Balanescu Quartet, and the fabulous Goldner String Quartet, Tinalley String Quartet, and Australian String Quartets.
At UKARIA and also for one night at Adelaide Town Hall, Nigel Westlake’s radiant music and Lior’s gloriously soulful voice come together in Compassion, an uplifting concert which unites Islam and Judaism in a joyful celebration of music’s ability to unite people across the divides of race and fear.
Also in Adelaide Town Hall, The Balanescu Quartet Retrospective brings a set list of the celebrated quartet’s new music and old to the Adelaide Festival. London based, but Romanian to the core, lead violinist Alexander Balanescu’s illustrious quartet combines jazz, classical and world influences, and can name drop Kraftwerk, Pet Shop Boys, Kate Bush and Stateless alongside its classical collaborators.
In the centennial year of legendary American composer Leonard Bernstein, conductor John Mauceri, one of Bernstein’s protégées and a leading interpreter of his work, leads the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in Bernstein on Stage! An Australian premiere exclusive to the 2018 Adelaide Festival, this performance includes a definitive selection of his work including West Side Story, Candide, and On the Town.
In Stalin’s Piano, a new virtuosic multimedia work, composer Robert Davidson combines famous political speeches from history with the music of their cadence, crystallising it in a score played live with astonishing brilliance by Sonya Lifschitz. Whether it’s a setting of Julia Gillard’s ‘misogyny speech’ or the pitch of Gough Whitlam’s 1975 oratory after his sacking, this is a union of words and music as it has never been heard before.
Sabine Meyer, a global superstar of the clarinet, has recently teamed up with the Alliage Quintett – an ensemble of four saxophones and a piano. It’s reedy heaven with familiar music (including The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, The Firebird, and The Planets) in vibrant new arrangements. A perfect introduction to chamber music for children and adults alike.
Adelaide Chamber Singers, one of Australia’s finest chamber choirs, will present Late Night in the Cathedral, two concerts in the cool and calm of the city’s supreme choral acoustic, St Peter’s Cathedral. Conducted by Carl Crossin, the pure vocal lines of renaissance and baroque masterworks (by Byrd, Josquin, Monteverdi and Bach) sit alongside reimagined versions by contemporary composers including Arvo Pärt, Andrzej Panufnik and Knut Nystedt.
WOMADelaide returns in 2018, again celebrating the most joyous and dynamic traditional and contemporary music, dance, visual arts and street performances alongside The Planet Talksprogram, family friendly entertainment and a foodie’s delight at Taste the World. 2018 artists include: Rodrigo y Gabriela (Mexico), Anoushka Shankar (India/UK), Havana Meets Kingston (Cuba/Jamaica), Kamasi Washington (USA), The Avalanches (Australia), Tinariwen (Mali), Dan Sultan (Australia), Architects of Air (UK), and many more.
