What do you get when you combine 'Deadpool', live music, and free ice cream? Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema is what!
Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinemas is a quintessential chill session for all Adelaide adventurers. If you’re expecting your run-of-the-mill drive-in theatre, think again. Not just a great place for flicks, the Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinemas also offer some of the hottest flavour-filled live music in Australia. With artists such as The Cat Empire, Kate Miller-Heidke, Kisschasy, Hungry Kids Of Hungary, Winter People and more. This outdoor event is the perfect place to park your family, or even a date, and enjoy a line-up of award-winning films and new releases.
Located at the Brian Nadilo Reserve on the Glenelg Foreshore, the cinema is easily accessible with free and paid parking. But you're best to ditch the traffic and catch the tram in so you can gorge yourself silly on ice-cream.

Once the sun sets, it’s time to relax in style with your favourite films and friends. Looking for drama? Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinemas will screen movies such as 'The Danish Girl', 'Carol', and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar-winning film, 'The Revenant'.
How about a slice of comedy? Feature films include 'Daddy’s Home', 'Sisters', 'Zoolander 2', and 'How To Be Single'.
One for the kids (big and small)? Snuggle up with the family and watch 'The Good Dinosaur'. Or maybe you’d like to pay tribute to the late David Bowie and revisit the magical cult classic, 'Labyrinth'.
Why not make it a date? With two woodfire pizzas, a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and two beers (or soft drinks) to share, there’s nothing more romantic than a movie under the stars.
Upcoming special events include the 'Grease Sing-A-Long', an almost two-hour karaoke-style extravaganza. Think you can match the pipes of slightly-older-than-teenage-looking Aussie transfer student Sandy (Olivia Newton-John), or kool-kat Danny (John Travolta)? Are you ready to belt out ridiculously romantic ballads such as ‘Hopelessly Devoted To You’ and ‘You're The One That I Want’? Maybe you’ve just got a thing for toe-tapping pep rallies and climactic end of school carnivals? If this sounds like you, (and nobody will judge you if it does), 'Grease' will be the perfect summer (techinally, autumn) night.Why not transport 'Back To The Future' for its 30th anniversary screening? Typical American '80s teen Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a time-travelling DeLorean sports car by self-described “student of all sciences” Doctor Emmett Brown. Grab your spot on the lawn for this Oscar-winning classic as Marty narrowly avoids being hit on by his own mother to ensure his own continued existence.

Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema in Adelaide will be held at Glenelg Beach until 10 April.
