West Australian Music is presenting the inaugural WA Music Week and the flagship celebration, WAMFest, on 26th and 27th March presented by Act Belong Commit and sponsored by the City of Perth.

The annual event, one of the world’s largest celebrations of local original music, was postponed in November 2020 and is re-emerging bigger than ever this year.

The two days of WAMFest will see more than 160 of WA’s most exciting, diverse and progressive contemporary original musicians take over venues and stages across Perth and Northbridge.

Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas said the City of Perth is excited to once again host local live music in the city at many cultural spaces including the Northbridge Piazza and Yagan Square.

“This is the 15th consecutive year the City has sponsored this event, and with good reason – events like WAMFest bring energy and vitality to Perth and Northbridge. I encourage everyone to get involved and attend a show as there really is something for everyone, even families, with free shows at the all-age outdoor spaces,” he said.

“Perth is a great place to be at the moment as the community can come together comfortably, safely and confidently to enjoy music events.”
