Top 10 Concerts & Shows in Perth, Western Australia

July 20, 2021 Jacquiline Darosa

Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

Came here to watch the Andy Griffiths Treehouse play, which was ok in itself, but the actual theatre is really lovely and well appointed. There are limited refreshments available outside the theatre but commensurate with other places that are similar. Service was good and everyone working there seemed friendly. The seating is set up like a stadium so everyone gets a good view of the stage, though the first few rows seemed less so, so I’m not sure you would actually get the best views from there. I would be very happy to attend here again.

The Western Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) is much loved by the people of Perth. The repetoire includes both modern and classical composers, though the classics predominate. People who really love their music often subscribe for the season, though you can usually get a one-off ticket. Home base for WASO is the Perth Concert Hall in St George's Tce, which is accessible by car or public transport.. WASO maintains a high standard. It is boon for the people of WA, who often feel neglected when it comes to the arts

The Ellington Jazz Club

Reviewed By IsThereAUserName - Perth, Australia

Joined friends with a spare ticket to see Nathalie Gillespie. Don't like all jazz so was prepared to stay for a short time. Loved the venue, reminded me of small bars with live music in the seventies, sat close to the stage. Food looked good too. Enjoyed the show immensely, stayed to the end.

His Majesty's Theatre

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

His Majesty's Theatre, usually called 'the Maj' is one of the proudest reminders of Western Australia's gold boom at the turn of the 20th century. Since it was puchased by the WA State Government of Sir Charles Court in 1977, it has been restored several times. It is built in Edwardian Baroque style, with a sumptuous interior. The Maj is home base for the WA Opera and is regularly used by the WA Ballet, as well as other performances.

The Blue Room Theatre

The Blue Room Theatre has been the creative hub of Western Australia's independent theatre scene for nearly 30 years, located in the heart of Perth's Cultural Centre. If you haven't been to our venue, you may have heard our shows. Helpmann-nominated "The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer", "Letters Home", and "Those Who Fall in Love like Anchors Dropped Upon the Ocean Floor" all began here; as did the careers of Matthew Lutton, Kate Mulvany, Tim Minchin, Claire Hooper, the members of The Last Great Hunt, and many more! We foster new talent, and new work through a year round program presenting and developing the best new independent performances from WA and abroad. With a 29 year legacy of providing the resources, advocacy, and space to make independent theatre happen in Perth, we'd love for you to come visit us, and check out a show.

Perth Concert Hall

Perth's premier concert hall.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

I have been to the Concert Hall many times as the guest of my mother, who had a subscription to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) concert series. I must say the Concert Hall is a magnificent venue for classical and contemporary music. Before 1973, when the Concert Hall opened, WASO played in less suitable venues. Despite the years of wrangling between various levels of government, the end result was this first-class building, which is said to have some of the best acoustics in Australia.. The building's architecture, restrained Brutalism in off-white concrete, only adds to its charm. The Concert Hall can hold 1,729 concertgoers, plus 160 choristers.

Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA)

PICA is both a producing and presenting institution that runs a year round program of curated exhibitions, seasons in contemporary dance, theatre and performance and a range of interdisciplinary projects.

We were late finding this gallery,so only had an hour before closing. As we hurried round it was apparent we needed more time as the galleries were full of great art from aboriginal, old pioneers,brand new artists.What staggered us was the amount of well known pieces by famous artists and sculptures.

Claremont Showground

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Claremont Showground is used for many events, the most popular being the Perth Royal Show. This year the Royal Show will be held from 25 September to 2 October 2021. The Show has its own dedicated train stop on the Fremantle Line for major events. Parking is usually tight, the train is a good option. Claremont is a prosperous suburb, 2 miles (3 km) from the centre of Perth.' The Royal show is WA's most popular community event. Sideshow Alley attracts youngsters; many country people come to see the livestock. Country women often like the preserves and cake competitions; sample bags are always in demand. For many country people, it's a time to catch up with friends and see the city. By the way, the Royal Show is similar to State Fairs in the United States.
