Joe Camilleri among Adelaide Walk of Fame names

Joe, along with Australian pop singer and songwriter Jessica Mauboy and Adelaide lighting designer Nigel Levings, were the three new names to be added to the illuminated walkway, in recognition of powerful performances at the centre's venue in 2022.

Joe won the Public Choice for his performance in The Black Sorrows' Saint Georges Road at Adelaide Guitar Festival 2022.

"Adelaide has always been a fantastic supporter of the arts and I'm humbled to be recognised in this way. To be amongst some amazing past winners... it means a lot to me," he said.

Jessica won the Adelaide Festival Centre Trust Choice vote for her performance in The Boss Lady Tour and highly Nigel received the Critics' Choice star for his work in Adelaide Festival's Watershed: The Death of Dr. Duncan.

Jessica said she was thrilled to receive a star.

"I had the best time performing The Boss Lady Tour at Festival Theatre and I can't wait to visit again to see my name in lights overlooking the Karrawirra Parri/River Torrens."

Nigel said thank you recognising his contribution to nearly 200 productions he had lit at the centre.

"I believe that the best lighting design is so totally integrated into a production that the audience cannot really pick the lighting from the performance," he said.

The winners will join more than 130 names of the great artists who have graced the stages of Adelaide Festival Centre since it opened in 1973.

Each year three stars are added to the walkway in the form of bronze plaques - in addition to the Public Vote, two more stars are selected by Adelaide Festival Centre Trust and a panel of arts critics.

Past recipients include William Barton, Annette Shun Wah, Billy Crystal, Cold Chisel, Olivia Newton-John, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Dami Im, Tim Minchin, Paul Kelly, Guy Sebastian, Archie Roach, Beccy Cole, Kate Ceberano and Tina Arena.

Centre chief executive officer and artistic director Douglas Gautier AM invited visitors to walk along the riverbank Walk of Fame as the centre celebrates its 50^th anniversary.

"The arts are core to who we are in South Australia and it is fantastic that these incredibly talented people will now permanently be part of that legacy," he said.
