SA Live Music Showcase Scouted Returns In 2018 With Some Serious Emerging Talent

After blowing audiences away last July, Adelaide live music showcase Scouted will return in 2018 with another batch of seriously talent emerging artists on the cusp of big things.

Going down July 27 and coinciding with the AIR Awards and two-day conference Indie-Con, Music SA’s Scouted will host 16 bands across four venues, with The Music proudly presenting the Jive stage this year.

Here are the artists playing Scouted 2018:

The Music Stage @ Jive

Blush Response, Dhungala Baarka, Runaway Weekend, Siamese

The AU Review Stage @ Rocket Bar

Argus & The Liar, Bree Tranter, Hartway, Strict Face

Scenestr Stage @ West Oak Hotel

Donnarumma, Fair Maiden, Neon Tetra, Wing Defence

Channel 9/Adelady Stage @ Nexus Arts

Hana & Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits, Naomi Keyte, Ollie English, The Winter Gypsy

As The Music notes, last year’s debut “delivered world-class talent”, with a few acts on the bill well on “their way to becoming career musicians”.

Earlier this week, 2017 Scouted act Mane was added to Adelaide's Splendour In The Grass sideshow extravaganza, Spin Off, while punk rockers Young Offenders have been touring internationally, other artists have picked up SAM Awards and more.

Running times for the 2018 event are expected to drop soon, but in the meantime, here’s some of the world-class talent you can expect on the day:

Scouted passes are only $20 + BF and will allow you access to all four venues on the day.
