Rock Route in Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide, on the southern coast of Australia, is an excellent destination for rock fans, offering interesting places to visit and making your trip more musical.

The city is also famous for its rich musical history, being the birthplace of bands like Kitchen Witch, The Angels, and James Taylor Move.

Beyond the show you’re planning to see at the The Gov, if you have a few extra days in Adelaide, consider visiting other clubs to experience the city’s underground scene. Spots like Lion Arts Factory and The Crown and Anchor are great for getting up close and personal with local rock bands.
