Adelaide’s hottest emerging talent will ignite the VAILO Adelaide 500 after-race concert series as the supercars get ready to fly around the streets of the east end of Adelaide.
Another thrilling weekend of high-speed racing and sensational live music, taking place from November 14th – 17th, is set to showcase a stellar lineup of MusicSA acts, alongside renowned headliners Cold Chisel, The Cruel Sea, The Superjesus, Crowded House, Ocean Alley, and Meg Mac.
J-MILLA, a 26-year-old Marranungu man from both South Australia and the Northern Territory, will be supporting Crowded House, Ocean Alley and Meg Mac on Saturday, November 16th. He uses music and storytelling to overcome hardships, blending sound and societal commentary with club vibes. He has amassed 200k social media followers through tracks like “On My Soul” and current track “Boomerang”. J-MILLA brings a powerful mix of hip-hop and culture to the stage.
The electronic/indie/pop group TONIX – supporting Cold Chisel, The Cruel Sea and The Superjesus on Sunday, November 17th – has gained momentum since 2023 thanks to their high-energy shows that blend synthesiser, saxophone, keytar, and drums, influenced by acts like Rüfüs Du Sol. With powerhouse vocalist Sammi Keough out front, TONIX are on the rise, following standout performances at Scouted 2023 and IndieCon. Their latest single “Snake,” produced by David Turley, will be released to coincide with their Adelaide 500 performance.
