Episode Details

Adelaide dominates South Australia’s live music scene, hosting 97% of nearly 3,000 international shows since 1954 — a staggering concentration that turns the capital into the undisputed hub of global touring. While iconic festivals like WOMADelaide and the Adelaide Festival fuel this reputation, regional towns like McLaren Vale and Tanunda barely register, with just 22 shows each — a mere 1.6% of Adelaide’s tally. Even established destinations like Murray Bridge or Victor Harbor appear only once in 70 years. The data reveals a glaring imbalance, but also a passionate fanbase nationwide — eager for music, even when tour buses skip their towns.
