Everyone’s favourite community radio station Three D Radio are throwing mini-festival SONIC SPIRE this December to celebrate the recently upgraded Mount Lofty radio tower, which is responsible for transmitting the 93.7FM signal across the airwaves.
Held at the iconic grounds of Carclew on Saturday 6 December, SONIC SPIRE runs from 2pm to 10pm and features two stages showcasing a curated lineup of incredible SA acts, headlined by punk rock duo Teenage Joans, who are riding high after the release of their latest barnburner, ‘My Heart’s Dead!’.
Joining them on the bill are MONDO PSYCHO, OIL!, Ella Ion, Coldwave, The Dainty Morsels and The Genevieves, with more artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
Along with all the great tunes, there will be an array of local food trucks, a licensed bar and plenty of non-alcoholic options. Sonic Spire will also have arts and craft activities to entertain younger festival goers.

In a recent chat The Note had with Three D Radio’s Chair Sonia Mir and Volunteers Rep Tiff Stodart, Mir discussed how SONIC SPIRE came about and the involvement of Carlew.
“What started as a bit of crazy idea to throw a party for our new combiner and tower upgrades, evolved into something really special to celebrate community radio and the Adelaide music scene,” explained Mir. “And all on the grounds of Carlew, it’s a great pairing for us to be at the home of youth arts for this event. We are really excited to be curating our own mini festival.
SONIC SPIRE also commemorates South Australia’s rich cultural heartbeat and ten years since Adelaide received UNESCO City of Music status – making it Australia’s first and only UNESCO City of Music.
