An industrial space becomes a cultural anchor
Perth Festival opened its 2027 programme on 29 October. East Perth Power Station again serves as a key venue, with two Avalanches nights plus Foy Vance and The Paper Kites among the announced events.
The programme extends beyond music. Łukasz Twarkowski's ROHTKO combines live cinema, technology and theatre; Operation:Orfeo reimagines opera as visual art; and Lotterywest Films returns to the Somerville pines for open-air screenings.
What should visitors do now?
Festival Club members received priority access at launch. General ticket sales open at noon Perth time on 2 November, which is 05:00 in Budapest. For a multi-venue programme, audiences should check dates, transport and running times separately.
Business reading
The cultural reuse of the power station creates destination, hospitality and venue-brand opportunities. It does not imply a commercial partnership with FestivalTV.
