Our City of Music, Your City of Music,
My City of Music Adelaide
Adelaide is Australia’s first and only UNESCO City of Music — a prestigious global recognition that celebrates the role music plays at the heart of our city’s identity, culture, and community.
Adelaide City of Music (ACOM) is the not-for-profit organisation responsible for promoting and activating this designation, connecting South Australia’s diverse music community to a global network of more than 370 creative cities, and building the international relationships and opportunities that benefit local artists and organisations.
We invite you to be part of that work.
Whether you are an artist, a venue, a festival, an educator, or a music organisation, you are part of what makes Adelaide a UNESCO City of Music. We encourage you to display the Adelaide City of Music logo in your marketing material for music-related activities — events, workshops, scholarships, awards, and more — and to use our official hashtag, byline, and elevator pitch when talking or posting about the designation.
Every time you use the logo, share our content, or mention Adelaide’s City of Music status, you are helping to strengthen a recognition that belongs to all of us.
