Pulp Headlines Adelaide Festival Despite Rain Threat

0:00On February 27th, here's the latest out of Adelaide. Brit Pop band Pope is set to headline a free concert at Elder Park in Adelaide on Friday night, kicking off the Adelaide Festival despite forecast of Heavy Rain. Organizers insist the show will go ahead rain or shine, but they advise fans to check the festival website at 3pm for any changes due to severe weather. The Bureau of Meteorology warns of a rare tropical low bringing up to 70mm of rain to the metro area by Sunday with the heaviest falls, expected that day. That's well above Adelaide's average March rainfall of 23.4mm and could even double or triple it over the weekend. Meanwhile, the state emergency service urges residents to prepare for flooding risks with current warnings in place for outback areas until Monday.
