Adelaide Selects Locals Hilltop Hoods For Clipsal 500

The Adelaide Hills’ Hilltop Hoods will come down from the hills for the Clipsal 500 in 2017.

Hilltop Hoods will headline a bill with Seth Sentry, The Funoars and Aarandhna. “We’re really excited to be returning to Clipsal 500 Adelaide,” said Hilltop Hoods. “It’s our only hometown show for 2017, so we’re going to be throwing everything at this performance. And having our friends Seth Sentry, The Funkoars and Aaradhna join us in the lineup just makes it that much more fun. We can’t wait!”

The Hilltop Hoods show will be on 3 March 2017 with Hunter & Collectors reforming for the following night with Baby Animals.

“Australians love Hilltop Hoods and it will be incredible to have them rocking the Friday night concert at Clipsal 500 Adelaide,” SA Tourism Minister Leon Bignell.

“In 2016, Clipsal 500 Adelaide attracted a crowd of 263,500, generating a huge $65.6 million in expenditure. More than 13,500 interstate visitors came to South Australia for the event and we want to grow that number even higher.

“The State Government has invested $70 million in marketing South Australia nationally and internationally and attract major events and we expect today’s announcement will ensure 2017 is an even bigger success.”
