Perth Festival has announced a raft of new events making up its 2021 program, running from Friday, February 5 until Sunday, February 28. One of the standouts from the new additions is WA Mixtape, boasting a line up of some of Western Australia’s best music talent, but not as we’re used to seeing them.
The night is set celebrate our homegrown talent with a special chilled-out evening of classic WA covers and originals presented in association with RTRFM at Government House Gardens on Saturday, February 20.
Fresh and familiar faces from WA’s music scene will feature in the event, including irreverent punks Dennis Cometti, electro outfit Your Girl Pho, dream folk act Rabbit Island, soul-pop singer Queency, Kim Salmon, Katy Steele and other local legends. WA Mixtape is set be a little like RTRFM’s In the Pines meets Slightly Odway, as each act performs an original song along with classic WA tunes from Eurogliders, The Stems, The Triffids, Jebediah and more.
WA Mixtape is the third concert in Perth Festival’s series of WA musical showcases at Government House Gardens this year. It follows the sold-out events Koort (Heart) and The Jazz Line, offering a new opportunity for audiences to enjoy music in a beautiful garden setting.
Perth Festival’s WA Mixtape goes down at Government House Gardens on Saturday, February 20. For more information and to buy tickets, head to perthfestival.com.au
