Adelaide Festival Centre’s core theatres will close in the second half of 2025 to allow upgrades to all three venues.
Both the Dunstan Playhouse (which seats 590 people) and the flexible Space Theatre (which can seat up to 350 people) will be closed from July 2025. The Festival Theatre (which has a capacity of almost 2000) closes from August 2025.
New seating will be installed in all three theatres, and stage flooring in the Dunstan Playhouse and Space Theatre will be refurbished while the venues are closed. Lighting upgrades to the Adelaide Festival Centre’s foyers and auditoriums will also be undertaken at this time.
