Guitars in Bars aims to enrich and diversify the live music scene of Adelaide. After their great success in 2017, featuring 555 artists across 160 events state-wide, this popular Festival is back in 2018! Get out to the pubs, bars, clubs and also unusal venues - think "boats, laundromats, nooks and crannies" - and have a great time out. 

This Festival is presented in collaboration with the Umbrella: Winter City Sounds, which is a smorgasbord of curated music projects - from punk to folk - accross the Adelaide Metropolitan area and CBD. An event that will warm and illuminate the colder winter weeks.
