Three D Radio is proud to announce SONIC SPIRE — an inclusive, all-ages festival set within the iconic grounds of Carclew.

Celebrating music, creativity, and community, Sonic Spire brings the energy of Adelaide’s local scene to life in one unforgettable day.

Running from 2:00 pm to 10:00 pm, the festival will feature two live stages showcasing a hand-picked lineup of South Australia’s most exciting emerging artists and local bands — all curated by Three D Radio.

Sonic Spire pays homage to our recently upgraded Mount Lofty radio tower, which beams our glorious 93.7fm signal across the Adelaide plains / Kaurna Country. It marks the beginning of a new chapter for Three D Radio as we return to live events — staying true to our mission to champion diverse voices and original music.

With music, community, and creativity at its core, Sonic Spire celebrates South Australia’s rich cultural heartbeat and Adelaide’s UNESCO City of Music status — marking 10 years since Adelaide became Australia’s first and only UNESCO City of Music.

Festival Experience
With food trucks, a licensed bar, and plenty of non-alcoholic options, Sonic Spire offers something for everyone. The early finish time ensures a welcoming and safe space for attendees of all ages to experience live music and community together. There will also be arts and craft activities from Carclew to entertain younger festival goers. Please note this is a strictly no BYO alcohol event.
