Port Adelaide’s SA Maritime Museum will host an exciting lineup of three established artists: Pascoe/Martin, San Ureshi, and David Kotlowy. In fact, the entire museum itself will be open to the public for free on the night, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in maritime culture as well as unforgettable contemporary sounds.
Continuing in the vein of maritime history, electronic experimental artist Blood Circle will be performing on the historic clipper ship - one of Australia’s most treasured artefacts.
Swing past Vitalstatistix, the contemporary art space, to catch live sets from Mondo Psycho, Pest Control, and Georgia Oatley.
10 Gallon Hat, the Americana-inspired bar, will boast performances from groovy acts such as Live Slug Reactions, SILK, and Tell Mama - all three of which would provide the perfect soundtrack to a night spent sipping at a tumbler of neat whisky.
If you’re in the mood to dance, head to Pirate Life Brewery to catch indie-electronic act TONIX, fresh off supporting Cold Chisel at the VAILO Adelaide 500 after-race concert. Pop sensation My Cherie and genre-blending Pash will also be performing in the Pirate Life’s beer garden.
Looking to discover new music in intimate settings? Look no further. Iparrityi Laneway will feature pop-up performances by exciting young talent from a curated lineup in partnership with Carclew, the home of youth arts and creativity. Float between venues and tune in to music from artists such as Pearly Stars, Cringetrender, Awnings, The Strangers, Zara Chantelle, and Emerauld and more.
On the return of New Found Sound in 2025, the City of Port Adelaide Enfield's Mayor, Claire Boan, states: “New Found Sound is an exciting new way to discover live music, and support Adelaide's freshest talent in the re-energised Port Adelaide precinct. You won't want to miss this exciting, free, night out showcasing our thriving creative community.”
This event - free, diverse, and unique - will be the perfect way to commence the new year. The full line-up and further information are available on the Port Arts Exchange website.
