With so many music venues closing their doors around the country, it’s exciting to see one bucking the trend and welcoming music lovers. Adelaide’s Lions Arts Factory closed late last year, not because of lack of support or lock-out laws, but because the owners wanted to renovate and make it bigger and better than ever. They’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, renovating the space into one worthy of Adelaide’s enthusiastic music fans. On February 7, they’ll reopen with a massive weekend of music.

Organisers are tight-lipped about who’s on the bill for opening weekend, but I expect big things. Fans will also get to see the improved stage and sight lights and hear the difference the upgraded sound system makes. This is going to be the best place in Adelaide to see acts like the killer musicians booked for the coming months.

“We have been really moved by the response from bands and agents wanting to book shows into Lion Arts Factory, and are excited to work on a project that will have a real diversity in the genre of artists playing the venue,” explained Ross Osmon of Five Four Entertainment, one half of the bookings team. “We are focused on delivering a space that all of the gig going community and bands will feel at home in and want to come back to.”

Here’s your handy guide to everything going down at Lion Arts Factory. Get amongst it! Tickets for all shows are available through MoshTix.
