The Avalanches

Each year Illuminate Adelaide welcomes a Luminary Artist in Residence to join them in presenting a range of ground-breaking projects throughout the duration of Illuminate Adelaide. This year Illuminate Adelaide are excited to present the inaugural Luminary Artists in Residence: The Avalanches.

Robbie Chater and Tony Di Blasi left an indelible mark on the music world with their 2000 debut Since I Left You, taking the art of sampling to rarefied heights and storming the airwaves with unexpected earworms like Frontier Psychiatrist. They followed up this success with masterpieces including Wildflower (2016) and We Will Always Love You (2020) and are now heading to Adelaide this winter with five major events, including teaming up with Adelaide Symphony Orchestra to bring their seminal album, Since I Left You, to life.
