STC Courtyard Sessions
Make the State Theatre Centre Courtyard your destination for a feast of free music.
From 5pm each night of the Festival (except Monday – hey, we all need one night off!) you’re invited to hang out with friends over a drink and some tunes. Each week sees a mix of curated playlists, live performances and DJ sets all brought together by a different guest curator, but all featuring a host of incredible WA talent.
Our curators bring their own flavour to each week, whether that’s the eclectic selection of everything from jazz, swing and honky-tonk to funk, blues and rock as chosen by Lucky Oceans or African beats thanks to the crew behind Black Brass. Opening weekend highlights include Grace Sanders, HAIRCARE and No Nomad.
Drop in before you see a show or kick back after your Festival event for a great night of music and fun at STC Courtyard Sessions.
