Since 1993, when the Tonkin family took over, The Gov has established itself as South Australia’s leading live music venue and is highly regarded upon by musicians and music-lovers alike. Between the regular local bands playing in the front bar and

the world-class music featured in the venue, The Gov really is Adelaide’s home of live, original music.

Come relive your glory days.

There’s always been a special place for Hilltop Hoods here at The Gov.

We’ve been lucky enough to host these hip hop legends on our stage before, so it’s pretty special to have them backing this year’s Vinnies CEO Sleepout raffle with a signed limited edition coloured vinyl copy of Fall From The Light.
A pretty special piece for any Aussie hip hop fan.

Buy a ticket, take a chance, and get behind a great cause.

💙 Every ticket helps. Every dollar counts.
