First Fridays – Art Gallery of SA
Coast is the theme of this month’s First Fridays after-hours event, which celebrates the significance of the ocean for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It will include performances by singers Frank Yamma and Zaachariaha Fielding and Yidaki player Jamie Goldsmith, guided tours of the gallery’s Tarnanthi exhibitions, and food and wine. Coast will also incorporate Pirrku Warrapina Live, a reading and storytelling project in which SA writers share their creative responses to Tarnanthi artworks. Full program details here.

Gates open at 7pm and screenings start at sundown. Full program online.
Zeppelin Flies Again – ASO
The rock and classical worlds will collide when Led Zeppelin tribute band the Zep Boys once again join the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra for a performance that threatens to “blow the roof off the Festival Theatre”. Conducted by Hamish McKeich, the two Zeppelin Flies Again concerts will be presented at 7.30pm on Friday and Saturday.
The Zep Boys’ Vince Contarino.
An Evening with Oprah – AEC
Oprah Winfrey’s arena tour lands at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre tonight (Friday), with tickets still available. Promoters promise a “one-of-a-kind intimate evening” in which Winfrey will share her personal story and insights on life.
The Lost WW1 Diary – Bakehouse Theatre
This show by Australian comedian Damian Callinan recounts his quest to uncover the identity of two diggers in an old family photo, which led to the discovery of a lost war diary in an op shop. After a successful season at the Adelaide Fringe, The Lost WW1 Diary – a blend of research, black humour and comedic characterisations – is briefly back at The Bakehouse, with the final performance tonight (December 4).
Archie Roach – The Gov
It’s 25 years since Archie Roach released his ARIA Award-winning debut album Charcoal Lane, which included the heartbreaking track “They Took the Children Away”. He’s celebrating with the release of a special anniversary-edition double CD, and a national tour that touches down at the Governor Hindmarsh on Sunday evening. On Saturday night, The Gov will rewind to the 1960s with the tribute show For Your Love: 60s British Rock Invasion.
Max Savage EP launch – The Wheatie
Adelaide singer Max Savage is launching his new EP, The City and Everyone Inside, with a gig at the Wheatsheaf Hotel on Saturday night. He will be supported by Melbourne-based performer Rowena Wise.
Stereosonic – Bonython Park
Music festival Stereosonic lobs at Bonython Park on Saturday, with a line-up led by Major Lazer and including Peking Duk, Galantis, Armin Van Buuren and more. Last weekend’s event in Sydney was the subject of controversy after dozens of people were charged with drug offences and a young woman died of a suspected overdose, and police say they plan to use drug-detection dogs at the Adelaide festival.
State Theatre Company Costume and Vintage Sale
Theatrical costumes, period costuming, contemporary clothing, fabric, shoes, hats and accessories which have appeared in State Theatre Company of SA productions over the past 40 years will be among the items for sale to the public at the company’s Rehearsal Room at the Adelaide Festival Centre. It’s possible you might even pick up something worn by the likes of Mel Gibson, Hugo Weaving or Judy Davis. The sale runs from 10am-5pm on Saturday and 11am-4pm on Sunday, with access via the Dunstan Playhouse foyer.
Hollywood Retro Film Festival – Palace Nova
Twenty-two classic Hollywood films from the 1930s to the 1960s are being screened at Palace Nova Eastend Cinemas as part of the Hollywood Retro Film Festival.
