Yes – you heard us: Ancient World is turning 10! To celebrate, the crew behind the Hindley Street venue is throwing a three-day party with some of Adelaide’s best producers, performers, DJs and more taking to the stage alongside a figurehead of NYC techno.
Three venues around Hindley Street including the city’s only metal dive have closed in the last month, while alternative bar Ancient World is battling to prevent the same fate. CityMag talks to operators about fighting to stay open in tough times, and the cultural cost of losing.
