The most fantastic, most fun, and most festivally time of the year has nearly come to an end. Collectively we'll be able to have some time to let our bank accounts recover, but before the Adelaide Fringe actually comes to a close, I've pulled together the best acts, shows, performances and events for you to see on your last weekend! Make the most of these last few days and pack your weekend - grab a few tickets and support our artists, because I know we'll miss this time of the year when it's gone!
Bag Raiders DJ Set
The Fantail (open-air) at Gluttony - Rymill Park
$55 - GRAB YOUR TICKETS
Australian dance royalty Bag Raiders have been stalwarts in the electronic music community since releasing their debut self-titled album in 2010. With that, the game changed forever. The acclaimed LP featured smash hit singles ‘Way Back Home’, ‘Sunlight’, ‘Snake Charmer’ and festival anthem ‘Shooting Stars’ – which has become a global phenomenon, amassing over 4 billion online streams, 11 million Shazam’s and 32 Platinum and 7 Gold plaques worldwide.
Last year pop icon Troye Sivan sampled ‘Shooting Stars’ on his monster single ‘Got Me Started’ and Bag Raiders, AKA Jack Glass and Chris Stracey, returned the favour with an official remix. In 2025 Bag Raiders come to Adelaide Fringe for one night only – the final Saturday night of Fringe in Gluttony’s open-air Fantail music venue.

She waits in the shadows for his voice to carry her home. He is silent. A mirror reflects. A box is opened. A promise of freedom is whispered. A box is closed. Corners of the room become memories of the past. Dust settles, wind echoes. He finds his voice.
Between Breath and Bard, their story unfolds in poetic threads. Visual imagery and the raw, emotive spoken words, connect audience and poet.
Award winning, local poet Paul R Kohn and WA creative Sally Newman bring their world premiere show to Adelaide Fringe. This show is for the survivors of darkness, the seekers of hope and those who search for answers in unopened boxes, unexpected moments and unfamiliar dreams.
