We found it particularly difficult to reduce the top events in Perth to a mere list of five this week, but nevertheless here it is. Perth’s premiere Event Guide showcases these events plus a tonne more right at your fingertips; send us an email at guide@xpressmag.com.au if you have (or know of) an event that you’d like us to list.
1. Radiothon Closing Party – Choose You Own Adventure
Last week was guitar heavy at Badlands Bar. This week we see RTRFM splitting across The Bird and Ezra Pound this Saturday, August 18, 2018 for an intimate Radiothon closing party. At The Bird you can catch the live electronic sets and deep vibes from Elsewhere/Rebecca, Bahasa Malay, NORA, Jamilla and Guy Contact alongside DJ Darcy Love (Bass Check). Down the ally way to Ezra Pound we dance the night away with some of Perth’s DJ heavyweights. Tickets can be found HERE.
2. Courtney Barnett
Since the release of her sophomore solo album, we have yet to see Courtney Barnett in WA as the celebrated singer-song writer brings her whiplash wit and a full band on tour. Barnett will be playing at Metropolis in Fremantle on Saturday, 18 June 2018 with limited tickets found HERE.
