A Lotterywest Community Experience
East Perth Power Station is back!
The East Perth Power Station is returning in 2027. Join us for a different kind of electricity this summer. You loved our transformation of this industrial relic over the past two years. Now, we’re back for another unforgettable season set on the Derbal Yerrigan.
Come for the music, stay for the magic. There’s a whole lot to discover at East Perth Power Station this summer.

The pleasure is all yours
The Embassy
A little music, a little mischief. The Embassy is back for 2027, bringing sophistication, sass and a touch of the unexpected to Perth’s CBD. Inside the beautiful old Perth Town Hall, discover a late-night jazz lounge steeped in jazz, blues, soul and cabaret. Elegant, a little wild and never quite predictable, The Embassy is made for good times and great music.

Cinema under the stars
Lotterywest Films at Somerville
Summer nights, world-class cinema and the magic of the Somerville pines. Lotterywest Films returns in 2027 with a hand-picked selection of the best in international cinema, from Cannes-laurelled gems and edge-of-your-seat thrillers to thought-provoking documentaries, spicy rom coms and moving dramas.
Discover new stories, unexpected places and fresh perspectives, with films curated from the world’s major festivals. Gather your friends or come solo for a summer ritual that has been part of Perth Festival since 1953.
Your summer under the stars starts here.

1975 | Naoi Déag Seachtó Cúig
Dance meets traditional Irish music in a wild, joyous and utterly infectious performance from Teaċ Daṁsa.

Seven dancers move between unruly abandon and quiet reflection, carried by the jigs, reels and irresistible rhythms
