After a 2-year hiatus, Coastal Sounds returns – a much-loved free event featuring live music along 10km of Adelaide’s coastline – to be held on the Sovereign’s Birthday long weekend Monday 12 June.

This year’s event features 17 live performances in 8 beautiful beachside locations in West Beach, Henley Beach, Grange, Semaphore Park’s Point Malcolm Reserve including a closing sunset session on the Semaphore Surf Life Saving Club deck overlooking the coast.

The unique music event supported by the City of Charles Sturt’s Live and Local grants program welcomes our local community and visitors to enjoy the beach in winter with an afternoon of intimate performances from new, emerging, and established artists. With no stages or speakers, each act will share their music with the coast as their backdrop in 8 selected walkways, reserves, shelters, and amphitheatres stretching along Adelaide’s shoreline.

The family friendly winter music event is as eclectic as it is long with a diverse program of music styles and also artist ages represented ranging from 16 to 80+.

Established and award winning SA songwriters and musicians are involved from multi-instrumental loop master- Adam Page, soul alt-country singer songwriter Kelly Menhennett , blues legend Jimmybay and respected folk pop songwriter Naomi Keyte to Gypsy Swing favourites Les Gitans Blancs, soul RnB singer Angela Tripodi and Zooma Zooma’s Julian Ferraretto and Anthony Leppa all in the line-up alongside some of Adelaide’s most exciting young singer songwriters like Adelaide Hill’s country folk duo Ella and Sienna and captivating new songwriters Nat Luna and Elizabeth Ruyi and many more.
