Boombox Bootscoot

Dust off your boombox and get ready for a wild ride down memory lane.

Hear all your favourite 80s hits like never before: played with a country twist that’ll have you dancing, singing and hollering for more.

A rollicking six-piece country-style band will deliver you a fun-filled, interactive extravaganza of neon nostalgia and rustic rhythms, from heartfelt ballads to foot-stompin’ anthems.

And just so y’all know, your best 80s-meets-country dress-ups are not just welcome, they’re encouraged.

So don that denim, crank out those cowboy hats, tease up that hair and get those boots ready for a show that’s part throwback, part hoedown.

Glam Adelaide says Boombox Bootscoot has “all the ingredients of a brilliant and different Fringe show”.

Neil Diamond’s Love at the Greek: What a beautiful noise

Four summers after his iconic Hot August Night in 1972, Neil Diamond returned to the Greek Theatre to weave his spell over live audiences once again with Love at the Greek.

Only one summer after his acclaimed Adelaide Fringe performances of Hot August Night, Troy Harrison returns to transport you once again to the magical place and time that was the 1970s.

Performing Love at the Greek in its entirety, the evening will be truly a Beautiful Noise.

More than a tribute, Love at the Greek mesmerises with the power of music to heal, transform and connect human hearts across time and space.

Bear witness to the ethereal bond between two musicians, and experience what this special performance meant to a young man looking for a star to guide him.

BYO drinks and nibbles.

Phantastic Physics Show

The Phantastic Physics Show is a journey of discovering what makes things move.

Nitro Nat demonstrates and explores energy and forces that you don’t get to see every day: high-powered lasers, cannons that suck in the air around us and a finish with a bang.

This is a show for any age, from small kids to big kids, but great for school-aged kids.

Performance: 2pm Sunday, February 25
Tickets: $18/15/12 at adelaidefringe.com.au
