Caressa & LOLA To Play bp Adelaide Grand Final After Race Concerts

The after race concerts for this year's bp Adelaide Grand Final concerts just got even bigger, with MusicSA revealing Caressa and LOLA as the South Australian support acts for Hilltop Hoods and Guns N' Roses.

This is huge news for both acts, who will take to the stage across the last weekend of November, with '70s-inspired five-piece Caressa joining Hilltop Hoods, Ball Park Music, CYRIL and Teenage Joans on Saturday 28 November, while high-octane punk outfit LOLA take the stage ahead of Guns N' Roses and special guests Airbourne's Sunday 29 November closing set.

Taking influence from the sounds of the '60s and '70s, Caressa are known for their rock-meets-blues and folk sound that takes the best parts of Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles and puts them in a blender with lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, resulting in the magic formula that is Caressa.

Having just conquered Europe, LOLA return ready to get the mosh pit raging with their brand of energetic punk rock.

These performances coincide with Good Music Month and continue MusicSA's partnership with the South Australian Motor Sport Board to support and celebrate local SA artists, giving them the chance to play on a massive stage in front of tens of thousands of music fans.

Tickets for both nights are on sale now at ticketmaster.com.au.
