Pest Control

The Mondays
Dedicated local music lovers, AIR Indie-Con Australia conference delegates, loyal fans and passionate local industry members gathered to bear witness to some of SA’s phenomenal up-and-coming talent.
Though Scouted provided an important opportunity for the selected artists to attend Indie-Con and network with key national industry members, it also provided the vital opportunity to showcase their talent and captivating stagecraft in-front of them too.
The evening felt buzzy and warm despite the rainy weather, over 200 punters and industry professionals attended this sold-out showcase. Captivating performances, packed dance floors and excited group power-walks between venues galore, Scouted 2024 was an event to remember.
From funky pop to hip-hop, cinematic-folk to bubble-grunge, the list goes on, the selected artists delivered inspiring performances that left us feeling incredibly proud and in awe of the rich talent pool that exists in South Australia.
The team at MusicSA would like to extend a huge and well-earned congratulations to the artists. Thank you for putting on a showcase that will not be forgotten, for all your hard work, and your enthusiasm.
MusicSA would also like to shoutout and thank our Scouted 2024 venues: Jive and Nexus Arts. Thank you for your hospitality giving our artists such incredible spaces to perform in.
