Returning as host extraordinaire, Adelaide Cabaret Festival Artistic Director Virginia Gay will present the gift that keeps on giving: world class performers and magical musical moments, all wrapped up in her trademark wit and charm. The evening will be held next year at the stunning Her Majesty’s Theatre on Thursday, June 5.
The ever popular and glittering red-carpet affair will be a birthday celebration like no other, with stand out performances by a brilliant lineup of local and international stars, to be announced soon… stay tuned.
The one night only show will officially kick off Adelaide Cabaret Festival 2025 and will also feature the exciting announcement of next year’s Adelaide Cabaret Festival Icon Award Winner. This year the award was presented to multi-award-winning Australian cabaret star Reuben Kaye.
Adelaide Cabaret Festival Artistic Director Virginia Gay:
We’re back, baby! I could not be more excited to light the sparklers, pour the Pol, and celebrate Adelaide Cabaret Festival’s 25th birthday (25? we don’t look a day over 24…) with our glorious Adelaide audiences.
We’ll showcase our incredible lineup of local and international acts and give you a tasting plate of the delicious treats we have in store for 2025. The gala is a highlight of the arts calendar in South Australia and one of the hottest tickets in town, so get ready to put on your birthday best (but not your birthday suit, it’s the middle of winter) and let’s raise a glass together – to cabaret.
Get ready for the red-carpet event of the year and join us for a night to remember!
