Illuminate Adelaide, the winter festival focused on the intersection of art, light, music and technology, returns to the South Australian capital this July.

The festival’s 2024 program, which was launched today (Wednesday 1 May) includes City Lights, a free and extremely popular outdoor program of light-based works at multiple locations across central Adelaide, and the experimental music festival-within-a-festival Unsound Adelaide, which this year features performances by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon (US) and melancholic minimalist The Caretaker (UK).
