Adelaide Entertainment Centre is hosting theatre productions in July 2026, including The Sweet Caroline Tour: A Tribute to Neil Diamond on Friday 24 July and The Michael Jackson HIStory Show on Saturday 25 July.

Adelaide Entertainment Centre

Visitors planning July travel can check the centre’s schedule for these two tribute performances. The venue lists the shows directly on its events page, providing a clear starting point for ticket information and dates.

University and Rep Theatres

Adelaide University Theatre Guild is presenting the South Australian premiere of POMONA, a dark thriller by Alistair McDowall, at Little Theatre in Adelaide. Adelaide Repertory Theatre opens its 2026 season with the Kaufman and Hart comedy classic at The Arts Theatre, starring Peter Goers and Michael Griffiths. These two organisations use longstanding city theatres that locals recognise for smaller-scale productions.

Cabaret and Independent Productions

Adelaide Cabaret Festival Artistic Director Reuben Kaye will return to the role in 2027 following a sold-out debut program in 2026 that received five-star reviews. Paper Mouth Theatre is staging a contemporary version of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya featuring ASMR soap-cutting videos, while Monstrous Theatre announces casts for The Ballad of Dan O’Malley: A Football Tragedy. These independent groups add variety to the city’s theatre offerings.

The July dates at the Entertainment Centre and the confirmed 2026 season openings at The Arts Theatre and Little Theatre give visitors concrete options tied to named venues. Additional listings appear on Eventbrite pages for Adelaide theatre tickets and South Australian arts events, allowing direct checks for availability without needing further interpretation.

Practical next steps include visiting the listed venue and festival sites to confirm current schedules and book directly through the official channels provided in the sources.
