Surf-rock fans rejoice because a brand new rock'n'roll festival dubbed War Of The Surf & Rock Guitars is being launched as part of the 2019 Adelaide Fringe season. 

Converting Fort Glanville into The Fort Arena this 24 February, festival organiser Angela Brennan said she is "excited to launch this festival within a festival" which she described as "'60s Blanket Bingo meets '70s/'80s Coachella Rock festival".

"We want to reignite the fervour for guitar driven rock," Brennan said. 

The stacked line-up for the epic ten-hour event was curated by Sherree Newton who thinks there is "something in it for everyone". 

"It's solid partying material," Newton said.
