Camp Cope

Camp Cope description

This event is restricted to ages 18+

Founded in Melbourne over home-job tattoos, Camp Cope is a force to be reckoned with. Drawing inspiration from their deep friendship, the band pens songs that play on the vulnerable minutiae of everyday life, with staggering live shows that make performances to thousands feel as intimate as their very first show.

Since the release of their debut album in 2016, the trio – Georgia Maq, Kelly-Dawn Hellmrich and Sarah Thompson – has won legions of fans and critical acclaim from the likes of NPR, The Guardian and The New York Times. Their 2017 single “The Opener” has achieved anthem status; their music and interviews have shaken up the Australian music industry.

’Phenomenal’ doesn’t even come close to describing it.

Guitar World

In 2022’s Running with the Hurricane, the band has created their strongest work yet, with a sound that is gentler, happier and more at peace with the world. It’s an album about strength, growth and pushing through pain, anchored by songwriter Maq’s effortlessly poetic storytelling.

In their first headline performance in Adelaide since 2019, Camp Cope will bring their expanded live show for a night of stirring songs, insightful storytelling and friendships that stand the test of time. 

The performance will open with the music of Alice Skye, a Wergaia/Wemba Wemba singer-songwriter who pairs a sharp storytelling ability with sonic identity to create a sound that is both hopeful and haunting.
