The 2010 Adelaide Cabaret Festival will mark the Festival's tenth anniversary. Headlining this year's Cabaret Festival and appearing in her only Australian performances will be nine-time Grammy award winner Natalie Cole with principal partner FOXTEL broadcasting her concert on the BIO Channel. Natalie will sing some of the great lyrics and melodies of the American songwriters, accompanied by the Adelaide Art Orchestra. Tickets to see the songstress are still available but are selling quickly.

This year's Festival includes over 124 performances of some 46 different shows across sixteen nights. More than 40 performances have sold out and this year the Festival has reached 95% of box office target and has already taken 11% more than last year's. The 2010 program features 41 artists from the United States of America, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan and France and the best from Australia with 220 Australian artists, 117 of those South Australian performers. There will be 12 international shows, 12 Adelaide premieres, including 9 Australian premieres, and 7 world premieres.

Artistic Director David Campbell says, "We can't believe another year has come around so fast and we're so excited with the jam packed program this year. With the number of shows on offer, it's an all nighter here at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, with our ‘Some Like It Hot' terrace our audience can begin their evening there, see back to back shows, watch the wonderful Mark Nadler in the piano bar for free and then party till late in the Banquet room with some of the coolest bands in the world. We're ready to have some fun and look forward to seeing everyone to do it all again."
