Courtyard Club 2024
What to expect
THE ARTS AND CULTURE TRUST AND RTRFM PRESENT THE COURTYARD CLUB 2024: FREE, LIVE LOCAL MUSIC.
The Arts and Culture Trust and RTRFM are excited to announce the Courtyard Club settles in for 2024 for your Friday night post-work fun; a free 8-week concert series taking place every Friday evening from 1 November to 20 December in the State Theatre Centre Courtyard of WA.
RTRFM is pleased to be teaming up with The State Theatre Centre and the Arts and Culture Trust for the 10th year to bring live, local music into the heart of Northbridge.
The Courtyard Club has become the perfect place to start your weekend with friends, as RTRFM DJ Vishnu brings you Friday Drivetime live with performances by local bands and DJs. This year, acts will play two sets, white the closing and opening night sees two local bands perform, giving audiences a chance to hear more of their incredible music.
It all kicks off on Friday 1 November from 5pm as we team up with the Perth International Jazz Festival, featuring Bad Neighbour and the WAAPA Jazz Collective, followed by Tash Thomas from RTRFM’s Giant Steps.
Throughout the series you can the soulful and powerful voice of Drea, the alt- indie magic of Good News Now We Can Eat All The Vampires, the awe inspiring of legendary Abbe May (Solo), the pop wonder of Joan & The Giants, the show that is Ricky Neil Jnr and we clos the series out with the worldly sound of Tina Zando and Soukouss Internationale.
Plus on on November 29 we celebrate 40 Years of Woodstock Rock with a set from The Feel Alrights and a takeover from the Woodstock team.
Each live performance will be followed by sets from some of the best DJs in town, including Dennis Gedling (Get Up Morning), Cat Holker and Dan Grant (Homegrown), Em Lucia (Drivetime), Naomi Carter (Get Up Morning), Liv Lightly (The Rounds) and Micah and Mittens (Full Frequency).
The Courtyard Club is an all-ages event with a licensed bar for those after work drinks.
Enjoy free live radio with Vishnu from RTRFM and local music under the stars in the beautiful surrounds of the State Theatre Centre Courtyard every Friday from 1 November ‘til 20 December.
