RTRFM unveils lineup for In the Pines 2026
Community radio station RTRFM has revealed this year’s lineup for the popular annual music festival and fundraiser, In the Pines.
Returning for its 33rd consecutive year in 2026, twenty handpicked established and emerging local acts are set to play across two stages at UWA’s Somerville Auditorium on Sunday, April 19.
The 2026 lineup will feature some of the state’s most exciting new acts, including Clare Perrott, PERSIA, Kayps, Cryptids and Iconyx, plus longtime favourites Tchega, Symmetrical Dogs, Emily Barker, New Nausea and Anna Schneider.
Also hitting the stage will be Halo of Teeth, Streets of Separation and Grub, with attendees able to get a little nostalgic with Gunns, ten years on from their debut; Showbag, returning with new music; and New Phono, featuring known faces in a new band. Rounding out the lineup will be station favourites Grievous Bodily Calm, Sarco, Kallum Mungulu and Nicholas Allbrook’s new project, Walrus.
More than a celebration of local music, attendees can look forward to food trucks and coffee from Chubby Dumpling, El Aleman Loco and Mr Goz, as well as drinks from Whitelakes Brewing Co., Shelter Brewing, Blind Corner, Whipper Snapper, Kimberley Rum Company and Margaret River Brewing Co.
In 2026, the station will welcome back its sensory zone in collaboration with Enable WA, supported by new major sponsors, The University of Western Australia. The sensory zone will create a space for neurodivergent punters and those needing a break from the noise.
RTRFM will also be broadcasting all the happenings live on the radio from 11:30am to 10pm at 92.1FM and digitally and online at rtrfm.com.au
In The Pines raises essential funds for RTRFM, allowing the not-for-profit community station to keep platforming local arts and culture for another year.
