City of Adelaide celebrates South Australia's music history and icons with an immersive new SA Music Hall of Fame exhibition on display now.
Presented across two levels of Adelaide Town Hall, the SA Music Hall of Fame is part of Council's year-long celebration of Adelaide's 10-year milestone as Australia's only UNESCO City of Music. Explore rare memorabilia from the collection of radio legend David 'Daisy' Day, archival material from the State Library of South Australia, vintage guitars, historic sound equipment and gig photography.
Honour boards feature icons from rock and pop to community radio and classical innovation including Cold Chisel, The Angels, No Fixed Address, Paul Kelly, Sister Janet Mead and Three D Radio.
Founded in 2009, the South Australian Music Hall of Fame honours the people and places that have shaped the state's distinctive sound. To date, more than 160 individuals, 24 bands, and 17 venues have been inducted.
Lord Mayor Dr Jane Lomax-Smith said that Council was proud to partner with the dedicated volunteers at the SA Music Hall of Fame to share the stories behind the soundtrack of South Australia.
"Adelaide is a city with music as its heartbeat - home to thriving independent artists, iconic venues, and a dynamic industry. Internationally renowned for its festivals and music institutions, music is central to South Australia's identity and economy", she said.
