Welcome to 2025

2025 is a significant milestone for Adelaide as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of our UNESCO City of Music designation and our dynamic music community.

We will unveil a special anniversary logo alongside a series of events, workshops, and opportunities to help celebrate our wonderful city of music. With a launch in January, a collaboration with the Adelaide Fringe in February, and Adelaide providing the music for the International Jazz Day Relay in April, the year is already off to a great start.

ACOM will continue to celebrate all the news and events from across the state’s dynamic music community and will provide more information about how you can get involved over the coming weeks.

2024 was a huge year at the City of Music office where we were actively engaged in international projects, and surveys, and strengthened collaborations with other cities of music around the world. We advanced First Nations initiatives and music education programs and focused on promoting and creating meaningful opportunities for South Australian artists and music professionals and Adelaide’s vibrant music culture across our global music networks.

As we look ahead to the next decade, ACOM is committed to helping navigate the ever-changing music landscape, continuing to raise the profile of Adelaide’s music scene, and broadening the value of our UNESCO designation for the state’s music community.

We are excited for the year ahead and eager to celebrate this important anniversary with all of you!
