Picture this....

Hillside camping in the heart of the Clare Valley, amidst rolling hills, luscious vineyards and drystone walls.....the warm setting sun, plenty of cold beer....all in the shadow of a lovingly restored, 150 year old bluestone building!

What could possibly make this sound any better... if you were thinking 20+ amazing international, interstate and local SA bands, 1500 friends, two stages, a hay bale amphitheatre and a massive Gum tree....then read on....

There, in the dim distance of the city’s receding cultural memory one jewel still glows: the “Taj Mahal of the Torrens”, the “most distinctive and beautiful place of entertainment in the Commonwealth”.

Ask your grandma if you don’t believe it, but an ornate floating ballroom known as The Floating Palais was the pinnacle of Adelaide’s nightlife throughout the 1920’s, until its mysterious sinking “after a series of explosions” at the height of the decade. Now, polish your dancing shoes and get ready for its phoenix-like return as the hub of the 2017 Adelaide Festival.

A stunning, newly-designed Floating Palais will light up the Torrens riverbank this festival season. Dance the night away to bands and DJs in the Grand Ballroom, compare notes on the shows you’ve loved or loathed over a drink or soak up the last glimpses of summer (and the odd international star) in the glorious open air mezzanine bar. The Palais welcomes you in daylight hours too – share breakfast and papers with some of Australia’s favourite media commentators or enjoy an after-work drink while listening to the world’s most compelling writers and artists.

Parc Palais will stretch into Elder Park with a focus on fresh, affordable, locally-sourced fare for pre and post-show drinks, family picnics, long, lazy lunches and late night suppers. Relax and raise a toast to the stars of the city’s culinary heritage, including Christine Manfield, Cheong Liew and Cath Kerry, and their selection of food and wine curated by Gill Minervini (Dark MOFO Winter Feast) with food consultant Duncan Welgemoed (Africola, Lola’s Pergola) especially for the Adelaide Festival.

Lazy Eye will be performing on the Elder Park rotunda at 5.30 & 7pm.

As classy or as casual as you like, climb aboard The Riverbank Palais and have the time of your life.

King at the crossroads after midnight.  Having clocked up a multitude of miles in their tour van, the 2015 Group Of The Year (Australian Blues Music Awards) has not only developed a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the country but picked up a swag of accolades along the way including Best Blues Album for their debut release Move Me (2013 SA Blues & Roots), Best Blues Artist (2014 SAM Awards) and their brand new offering Pocket The Black has been judged the 2016 Blues Album Of The Year (Adelaide Roots & Blues). 

 “Guitar licks, picked over tremulous Hammond organ chords and shuffling blues beats  are the core of this retro blues collection, which manages to emit authenticity  despite the obvious legacy of its influences.” The Sydney Morning Herald 

 “It’s a pleasure to see a weather-beaten Hammond fronting a band and even more so when it’s wielded with style.  Such is the case with Adelaide blues outfit Lazy Eye” The Australian
