Curated for fans of expansive instrumental rock, post-metal, and boundary-pushing alternative music, Echoes Festival brings together an eclectic and powerful lineup of interstate and local artists: which include the internationally renowned Mensicus who are playing in Adelaide for the very first time.
With two stages operating across Rhino Room and Lowlife Bar, Echoes Festival will offer nonstop performances, allowing fans to experience everything and immerse in over 7 hours of non stop. Combining visual and lighting with state of the art sound - this event aims to change how you consume sound.
