The 2025 Fringe Guide brings the festival to every corner of SA
South Australia is about to shine even brighter as the official Adelaide Fringe Guide for 2025 hits the streets. Whether you’re in the city, suburbs, or regional towns, the guide is your ultimate companion to the biggest arts festival in the Southern Hemisphere.
You can pick up a guide at your local café, pub, library, or community centre or at any Foodland store or BankSA branch. For those in more remote areas, the digital version can be downloaded at www.adelaidefringe.com.au. Print copies can also be ordered online and delivered to your door.
Packed with more than 1,300 shows, this year’s program offers everything from comedy and cabaret to immersive experiences and, importantly, regional adventures. Fringe is not just about the buzz in Adelaide; it’s an invitation to discover world-class performances lighting up venues in every corner of South Australia.
The bold and dynamic 2025 poster design, Are We Nearly There Yet, by UK artist John Pedder, graces the cover of the guide. This woodblock print design is the first of its kind to be chosen as a Fringe poster, and its striking colours ensure it’s easy to spot wherever you find your guide.
With shows spanning suburbs, city hotspots, and regional locations, the 2025 program invites audiences to explore South Australia like never before. Whether you’re a local or planning a trip, the Official Fringe Guide serves as a roadmap to finding incredible performances in your favourite genres nearby or in destinations you’ve been wanting to visit.
Adelaide Fringe Director and CEO Heather Croall AM shared her excitement:
“When the Fringe Guide hits the streets, you know it’s go time and Fringe is just around the corner! It’s so much fun seeing people diving into it over a coffee, circling their must-sees, and firing up those group chats to lock in their crew for a night at Fringe. Grab a copy, find your faves, and jump online to book early.”
This year, for the first time ever, Adelaide Fringe is launching Sneak Peek Week, with over 160 shows kicking off from 14 February. It’s the perfect opportunity to get an early taste of some incredible performances before the festival officially opens.
Adelaide Fringe runs from February 21 to March 23, transforming South Australia into a destination for culture seekers from around the world. With performances lighting up more than 500 venues – including many in regional areas – this is your chance to experience the magic of Fringe, wherever you are.
Tickets are on sale now at www.adelaidefringe.com.au.
