MAKE MUSIC DAY 2025
WHEN: Saturday 21st June | 4PM – 7.30PM
On the 21st of June, Adelaide plays host to a city-wide live music takeover, Make Music Day! The Gilbert St Hotel will be hosting three solo acts as a part of this incredible event:
- Lara Estel (4.30pm) – Brissy’s own Lara Estel kicks off the day with her ever-evolving, pop-forward sound. A Triple J Unearthed High alum, she blends dreamy vocals with fresh energy. Don’t miss this rising star! See more of Lara here.
- Ryan Martin John (5.30pm) – Ryan Martin John brings rich folk and a country edge to the stage. An award-winning producer and storyteller, his set is full of heart, harmony, and golden-hour vibes. See more of Ryan here.
- Naomi Keyte (6.30pm) – Adelaide’s own Naomi Keyte weaves alt-folk with personal and intimate lyricism. Her sound is cinematic, tender, and totally transportive – perfect as the sun starts to dip. See more of Naomi here.
Make Music Day is supported by the Live Music Office and has been co-designed with our local music community. Book a spot through the book button above!

CRAIC ME UP – COMEDY SHOWCASE
WHEN: Sunday 29th June | 5pm
What’s the craic?
Swap your Sunday slump for a guaranteed belly-laugh. Craic Me Up brings four of SA’s sharpest comics to the cosy surrounds of the Gilbert Street Hotel.
Your laugh doctors for the arvo:
- Sean Quinn – Irish and now Aussie citizen who cut his teeth across the Australian and UK/Ireland circuit before storming every Fringe Festival in Australia. Expect punchy therapy tales, post-colonial digs and craic aplenty.
- Jason Chong – ABC Radio Adelaide host, Adelaide Fringe fixture, and master of riffing with any crowd. Polished, playful, and proudly home-grown.
- Jacob Jackman – SA Raw Comedy State Winner. Obscure references + razor-sharp left turns = big, unexpected laughs.
- Clay McMath – Fresh off a buzzing run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. High-energy, quick-witted, and allergic to dead air.
