Main Stage

Set against the backdrop of Perth’s industrial history, the repurposed East Perth Power Station stands as a striking fusion of past and future.

Once a towering symbol of raw energy, this sprawling structure now pulses with an entirely different kind of power – the electric beats of cutting-edge electronica and live music on our Main Stage.

Inspired by iconic venues like London’s Printworks, the space retains its industrial grit, with steel beams and a cavernous dancefloor. Neon lighting and high-tech visuals carve pathways through the crowd.

The Power Station melds industrial decay with a vibrant, dynamic edge – a haven for those chasing the intersection of sound, light, history and music.

Free for everyone.

Casa Musica

Inspired by the summertime parks and piazzas of southern Europe, of people watching and dancing in the street, Casa Musica is your passport to music from across the Indian Ocean rim and beyond.

We’re bringing you a feast of music and culture this summer from homegrown talent to special guests from as far afield as Réunion Island, Italy, India, South Africa and more. And it’s all FREE!

Free for everyone.

Power Station Commission

Each night the walls of the Power Station become the canvas for an ambitious art commission, as part of our exciting new celebration of First Nations artists, Boorloo Contemporary. 

New work by Noongar artists Allan Yarran, Ilona McGuire and Daniel Hansen visually speak to the history of the site in colour, record and poem.
