To honour the Adelaide Festival Centre turning 50 in 2023, each of the Centre’s in-house festivals – including OzAsia, DreamBIG and Adelaide Guitar Festival – are doing something a little special this year.

The 2023 Festival has been jointly programmed by Julia Holt, David Campbell and Lisa Campbell, Kate Ceberano, Eddie Perfect, Ali McGregor, Julia Zemiro, Alan Cumming and Tina Arena, who collectively have been dubbed The Cabaret Collective.
