Australian drum and bass phenomenon Pendulum makes its Adelaide Fringe debut at Gluttony! Hailing from Perth, they took the DnB world by storm in the early 2000s, changing the genre forever. While their first gig outside WA was in Adelaide many moons ago, Pendulum hasn’t performed in this city since 2017, so it’s only fitting to play SA’s favourite festival, Adelaide Fringe. It’s Gluttony’s honour to host Pendulum’s much anticipated return on open-air music stage The Fantail for this very special DJ set. 10:40PM | THE FANTAIL (OPEN AIR) R18+ | 110 MIN | $74 FEB MAR

THE JUGGLE - MANAGING MOTHERHOOD WHILE WORKING IN THE ARTS
Mothers are forever being reminded that in order to “thrive” kids need routine, boundaries, predictability and consistency. As arts workers, we are forever changing routines, breaking boundaries and making a living in an unpredictable and inconsistent industry.

SUSTAINABILITY
INFO
Gluttony endeavours to tread gently on our beautiful natural space, and exercise environmental responsibility. All plates, bowls, cutlery and cups used by our food vendors are compostable; our bars serve drinks in reusable glasses and cups, and water can be purchased in reusable aluminium bottles, which are more recyclable than plastic. Upgrade your festival experience by purchasing a large Gluttony wine glass to take home as a stemware souvenir. We encourage you to bring in your own drink bottle to refill from our free filtered water stations. We have avoided using single-use plastics wherever possible. A three-bin system is in place to separate reusables, recyclables and compostables. Landfill bins are available only at toilets and exits, to encourage the most sustainable use of our waste management systems. Follow the signs or ask our staff if you would like more information about which bin to use.
OUTDOOR VENUES The following venues are open-air, outdoor performance spaces. The Fantail: a spectacular soundshell, this is Gluttony’s most spacious venue, home to 45 unforgettable music shows. The Piglet: One of Gluttony’s most petite venues will host all-week stand-up comedy and weekend matinées under the open sky. The Squeaker: After dark, the Dart Blaster Arena transforms into a comedy club under the stars! Club Curious: Curiosity knows no bounds in this club - there’s no ceiling, but heaps of good vibes! Rain or shine, performances will go ahead, so please come prepared for the forecast weather if your show is in one of these outdoor venues. Umbrellas will not be permitted to be used during performances, as they obstruct the view of other patrons. In the not-so-frequent event of summer rain during your show, please bring a poncho. Sun protection is also recommended in the heat of the day.
