The tours had a profound impact on Australian cultural life and introduced to the Australian public not simply a brilliant and exotic company of dancers, but productions, stage designs, costumes and music the likes of which had never been seen or heard here before. The Ballets Russes tours profoundly influenced the shape and development of ballet in Australia and paved the way for the establishment of The Australian Ballet. This exhibition will feature costumes, set designs, photographs, artwork and memorabilia from this amazing period in Australian dance history. http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=181878 http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=181878 20/06/2008 Music And Concerts Take the immortal rock music of Led Zeppelin performed by local favourites the Zep Boys, combine it with the high-energy R&B of Gumbo Ya Ya, virtuoso guitarist Chris Finnen, and the powerhouse jazz vocal stylings of Zkye... and you've got the ultimate unforgettable evening! http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=181717 http://www.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/?cat=3355&id=181717 21/06/2008, 22/06/2008 Music And Concerts Following their sell out performances in March 2007,the Adelaide Festival Centre's trans:mission program, proudly presents the Soweto Gospel Choir's new show AFRICAN SPIRIT for two performances only in the Festival Theatre.

Shannon Noll is going back on the road with the TURN IT UP Tour, his first major national run in two years. The 17-date tour, which features support act Small Mercies, starts shortly after the release of "Everybody Needs A Little Help", the third single off his current platinum selling album, Turn It Up. Following his successful trip to the USA where he was the New York ambassador for G'Day USA: Australia Week, the multi-platinum selling singer can't wait to hit the road and get back to his fans, making stops at cities in more than half the Australian territories. His June/July run is the first of a two-leg tour, with the second run planned for September/October. Like he did with Lift, one of his most popular and successful hits, Shannon once again sends spirits soaring with his poignant lyrics and raw honesty on "Everybody Needs A Little Help." "I wanted to get the edge that Lift had back in there, to say no matter what you're going through, it's OK. You don't have to do it alone," says Shannon. Turn It Up, his third and current album, debuted at #3 on the ARIA albums chart. It has already produced one top 10 success with Loud, giving the boy from Condoblin a record-setting total of 10 consecutive top ten singles, including five #1s on the ARIA singles chart. Add his four ARIA award nominations and it's clear that in just a few short years the three-time running AVMA Best Male Artist has become one of Australia's most successful, iconic and best-loved performers. Doors Open: 7.30pm, Small Mercies: 8.00 - 9.00pm, Interval: 9.00 - 9.30pm, Shannon Noll: 9.30 - 10.30
