27 Club
Winner of Adelaide Fringe’s Best Music Award in 2021, this must-see show has fans praying to the rock gods as a cast of living legends celebrate the late, great (and unfortunate in fate…) members of the 27 Club.
27 Club salutes the rock star icons who left us too early, aged only 27 – Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain, Winehouse, and Morrison – each the musical voice of their generation.
Featuring Aussie rock royalty Sarah McLeod (The Superjesus), Kevin Mitchell (Bob Evans, Jebediah), Carla Lippis (Mondo Psycho) and Dusty Lee Stephensen (Wanderers) as they share lore and stories behind the songs that captivate us to this day.
