Perth Festival: Roomful of Teeth
2026-02-13 19:30 - 22:00 | St Mary’s Cathedral, 25 Victoria Ave, Perth, WA, 6000
Grammy Award-winning and globally acclaimed, Roomful of Teeth are dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice. By engaging collaboratively with artists, thinkers, and community leaders from around the world, the group seeks to uplift and amplify voices old and new while creating and performing meaningful and adventurous music.
The band defies traditional conventions with their adventurous world-building and contemporary classical precision. Drawing from their lauded album Rough Magic alongside a kaleidoscope of works from their expansive catalogue, this high-powered and poignant octet dissolves boundaries between ancient music and cutting-edge experimentation.
Founded in 2009 by Brad Wells, Roomful of Teeth were incubated at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), where members studied with some of the world’s most extraordinary singers and teachers. Through experimentation, exploration and plenty of failures, the group learned that the boundaries of the human voice are never what they seem, that rules can be bent, even broken – and perhaps they should be.
Through their unique collaborative process, Roomful of Teeth have worked with many of today’s most compelling musical creators to build a significant and continuously growing repertoire. They have collaborated with a wide range of artists and ensembles spanning genres and art forms.

Liquid Architecture Presents
2026-02-18 18:00 - 22:00 | Lawson Flats, 4 Sherwood Ct, Perth, WA, 6000
Liquid Architecture and Perth Festival present a lens to Asia-Pacific’s unrulier sound currents. The program traces a line from conceptual composition to scorched-earth noise praxis to the outer edges of contemporary rap.

From Yogyakarta arrives Aditya Pandu Wijaya, a key figure in Indonesia’s noise vanguard and the force behind Bergegas Mati, his harsh-noise vehicle known for its eroding, heat-warped extremity. Pandu’s networked practice spans global collaborations, split releases, raw-collage digital art and his cassette-driven imprint Gerpfast Records, which has quietly become a clearing house for scenes that refuse to align – shoegaze, hardcore, metal, electronica and the vast detritus between. His new project, D.O.V.E., pushes further into violent oscillatory abrasion, reaffirming noise as both rupture and communion.
Cutting through these intensities is Pette Shabu, the Quezon City rapper shaping a distinctly Southeast Asian reading of experimental hip-hop. Her work fuses boom-bap, metal, ballroom, industrial and rave architectures into a kind of incendiary vernacular theatre – language as protest, pulse and provocation. On her recent debut SPRAK, she fractures genre into a riotous, multilingual cipher: political, playful, deeply embodied. Live, Pette operates at a threshold where club energy collides with underground poetics, a charged presence carving out new trajectories for regional rap.
Failing Upwards, the ongoing alias of Chris Cobilis, works in the long shadow of late-20th-century conceptualism, folding film scoring, installation and procedural performance into a practice that treats sound as both material and thought experiment. From self-duplicated record-shop replicas to the multi-device micro-drama of INSTAPHONICS, Chris navigates the frayed interfaces between technology, perception and non-music with a misanthropic humour that feels increasingly diagnostic.
Ben Aguero selects some recorded music on the night, playing selections before and between performances.
Together, these artists outline a terrain where form blurs, pressure builds and sound becomes a vector for instability, resistance and raw proposition.
Part of Summit at Lawson Flats – an unmissable series for the curious and thoughtful. Join us at Luis’ for a drink before the event or stay on for dinner afterwards. Reserve a table via Lawson Flats Reservations or email concierge@lawsonflats.com to book directly.

Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi (UK/AUS) w/ Nika Mo & Ben Buchanan
2026-02-20 19:30 - 22:30 | Rosemount Hotel, 459 Fitzgerald St, North Perth, WA, 6006, Australia
Sophia performs live at Rosemount Hotel on Friday February 20, joined by supports Ben Buchanan and Nika Mo. This rare, intimate seated performance offers a close-up experience of her music and is not to be missed.
Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi is a detail focused experimental ambient-folk songwriter, combining expansive evocative sound worlds with intimate storytelling.
With her first album Undertow, London-based composer/singer-songwriter Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi reveals stark vulnerability nestled in a dark ambience that is both intimate and expansive. Voice and cello provide the bedrock of a detail focused record, that threads together memory, grief, growth and connection. Undertow took its shape during an acclimation of sensuality and self, through a period of processing trauma, and all of life, love and loss that it surrounds and intertwines with. ‘Undertow’ binds this intimacy with the corporeal, spanning violation and deep trust. It deals with the fallout of the victims of violence against women, voyaging through fear and pain to absolution.
“The cello is widely considered the closest instrument to the voice. This is something that continually bleeds into my practice, finding the connection between voice, cello and body. The physicalization of this combined practice creates a sense of corporeality in my sound. I let it be intuitive, my playing and singing guided by my breath and the way my body moves. I found the duality of this expression informed reflections of sensuality and intimacy throughout the album.”
Undertow coalesces in a unique combination of clarity in its folk/singer-songwriter storytelling with a wholly alive and reactive bed of instrumentation. Instead of traditional structures and overly virtuosic solos, all aspects of production and performance lean heavily into spontaneity and gut feeling, reaching closer to a sense of unfiltered emotional truth. The result is an act of reification: songs with a sense of touch, of ears and eyes and flesh, coming to life around the mouth.
With the skilled Brooklyn producer Randall Dunn as a collaborator, Undertow pushes further into the abstract, a dark and dissociative space. Dunn carves intricate space with vast void-like atmospheres and cinematic intensity, with an unrelenting foregrounding of vulnerability. With instrumentalists Peter Zummo, Marilu Donovan, Henry Fraser, Luke Bergman and Brent Arnold, the arrangements on Undertow draw breath into a minimalistic sonic landscape, occupying a cohesive improvisational latitude.
Born in Perth, Hansen-Knarhoi grew up surrounded by the natural world. ‘Undertow’ draws on the stark landscapes and vast waters of Western Australia. At moments, field recordings are woven into the work, while at others, arrangements reflect its beautiful barren environment through memory. “Engulfing myself in nature has always been a way for me to process the world, to bring me back into my body and my senses”. ‘Undertow’ revels in this remote sonic landscape, submerging stories in the depths of truth.

Pneumatic & Wishful Thinking presents Fergus Jones (UK - Live), Melānija and Rare Faction
2026-02-21 19:00 - 22:00 | Ode to Sirens, 25 High St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
Join us for a night of beautiful live music from special guest Fergus Jones, joined by Melãnija, and Rare Faction at Ode To Sirens in Wayalup, Fremantle.

Fergus Jones (UK/FELT):
Fergus Jones is a Scottish artist living and working in Copenhagen. A producer and DJ lauded by Boomkat as “one of the underground’s key, if liminal, hyper-connectors,” he runs the label and event series FELT, which has released records by the likes of Civilistjävel! & Carrier.
Previously known as Perko, Jones released his acclaimed debut album Ephemera on Numbers in 2024. Developed with collaborative energy as the creative priority, the album was produced by Jones alongside an extensive list of like-minded musicians, lyricists and vocalists, including Huerco S, James K, Koreless, Birthmark, ELDON and Withdrawn of Bristol’s Cold Light crew, Laila Sakini and Lia T. Ephemera featured on numerous Best of 2024 lists by publications such as The Quietus, Phonica, Gorilla vs. Bear, and First Floor, with Pitchfork columnist Philip Sherburne highlighting “Heima” as the year’s best trip-hop single and Resident Advisor recommending its “masterful storm of trip-hop, dub and downtempo.”
Ephemera followed three releases on Numbers under the Perko alias – 2018’s NV Auto, 2020’s The City Rings, and 2023’s Prang, which was included on Resident Advisor’s Best Tracks of 2023 – and 2020’s Galerie on Denmark’s Posh Isolation.
Praised for his productions, live performances, and DJ sets, Jones has notably contributed mixes to the long-running FACT and Truants series, and is a frequent guest on radio stations such as NTS, Rinse, and the Lot. He has toured in Australia, China, and Japan, and performed at clubs worldwide, including Berlin (Tresor), London (Ormside Projects), Barcelona (Nitsa), Glasgow, and in his adopted city of Copenhagen.

Norwegian duo Smerz make their long-awaited Australian debut at Freo.Social on 25 February 2026, celebrating their new album Big City Life (2025). With their moody avant-pop, minimalist production and hypnotic, almost-whispered vocals, the pair have built a significant cult following for music that drifts between club culture, performance art and late-night introspection.
Smerz have earned major international acclaim for their distinctive sound, and they’re now in Australia for a limited run of shows and festival appearances, offering a rare chance to step into their lucid, slow-burn dream world.
We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and recognise that the land and sovereignty has never been ceded.

VOLTA [live electronics] PRESENTS VIDEOPOLIS [FR]
World renowned French audiovisual artists Franck Vigroux and Antoine Schmitt present their new live performance VIDEOPOLIS.
A powerful live audiovisual duo, blending intense electronic sound with generative visual systems. Vigroux’s raw, physical approach to electronic music meets Schmitt’s algorithmic and conceptual visual art, creating performances that explore tension, rhythm, and control. Together, they craft immersive, high-impact AV experiences where sound and image interact as a single, evolving structure. Their very last work Videopolis emerges from the chaos of a world overwhelmed by images corrupted by dark forces. These images saturate both the visual and cognitive fields to better manipulate the masses, rendered docile. Toxic algorithms metastasize all truths ; blur spreads across perception, and viewpoints cancel one another out. This raises a fundamental question : how can Vidéopolis be countered?
With support from local composer/producer PTMC.

Audible Edge '26 Program Launch
2026-04-09 18:00 - 21:00 | Patio, 4/3-13 Essex St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
“The best thing in Boorloo every year.”
“The only festival I’ve been to that leaves me with more energy after a set than when I arrive.”
“Just joyful. I could not fault anything with the way it was run.”
Audible Edge (AE) returns for 2026! Be the first to hear about the AE’26 program by attending our program launch at Patio Bar in Walyalup/Fremantle.
Audible Edge is an artist-led, international festival of exploratory music. It’s held annually on Whadjuk boodja since 2017. This year it will take place entirely in Victoria Hall in Walyalup/Fremantle from May 1 to 3. That’s three days overflowing with extremely good and strange music, a wholesome, warm atmosphere, dances, treats, sessions and strolls.
For the program launch, we’re pleased to invite Rose KB (Fringe World Tour Ready Award, 2026) to host a live talk show, throwing curveball questions at your festival curators and artists from this year’s program. A fun, slightly unhinged way to get an insider’s look at what will happen in this year’s festival. Come gather with us and make your festival plan with your mates.
Before and after the interviews, hang out, read the program together, have something to eat and drink and enjoy selections and improvisations by Ben Aguero & Nelson Mondlane of Myriad Sun.
The launch event is free, but you can nab an advance festival pass now, or donate to the Audible Edge Seed Fund to help make new works by WA artists happen in this year’s festival. (You may note that this event’s program consists of two past Seed Fund artists 💪).
Event schedule
6:00pm — Myriad Sun DJs

Jsuk Han - Organs, Breathes, Salt
2026-04-24 - 2026-04-26 | The Naval Store, 141 Queen Victoria St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
A site-specific sound installation in which the Naval Store becomes a living organ. Acoustic feedback loops are generated and modulated by interconnected systems: real-time Fremantle weather data — wind speed, humidity, temperature and atmospheric pressure — flocking algorithms that govern the collective behaviour of sound across space, and the resonant frequencies of the microphones and the building itself.
Found objects suspended from the ceiling trusses act as speaker units, connected by cables radiating from a central control system. The installation evolves slowly and unpredictably over the exhibition period, accumulating and shifting like salt itself.
‘Organs, Breathes, Salt’ is an outcome from the ongoing Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre and Incheon Art Platform Artist in Residence reciprocal exchange.

Opening hours:
Friday 24 April 2026
Doors 6pm, Live Performance 7pm
Jsuk Han will be collaborating with Raras Sukardi (clarinettist) and Sage Pbbbt (ritual vocalist) during the live performance.
Saturday 25 April, 1-7pm
Sunday 26 April, 1-7pm
Audiences are invited to view the site-specific installation and Jsuk Han will be present to discuss the residency exchange and project.
JSUK HAN
Jsuk Han is an artist working across sound, sculpture and installation, with a practice grounded in feedback, resonance and spatial listening. Using self-built audio systems, Han creates site-responsive works that make audible the often-unseen relationships between place, memory and environment.

Audible Edge Festival of Exploratory Music
2026-05-01 18:00 - 2026-05-03 21:00 | Victoria Hall, 179 High St, Fremantle
“The best thing in Boorloo every year.”
“The only festival I’ve been to that leaves me with more energy after a set than when I arrive.”
“Just joyful. I could not fault anything with the way it was run.”
AE is an artist-led, international festival of exploratory music. It’s held annually on Whadjuk boodja since 2017. It includes delightfully strange songs, forward-thinking club sets, brazenly weird experiments, bracing noise, virtuosic improvisation, anti-virtuosic improvisation, listening through dancing, new directions for ancient music, dinners, treats and strolls.
Our mission is to make a low pressure, fun atmosphere, and a powerful, attentive listening culture. We carefully curate a program of stuff that is really good, putting little-known experimentalists on a prominent stage. We invite you to experience a festival with no headliners, that is more about realness, kindness and building culture together.
In a radical and unprecedented turn (🤪), AE’26 is all in one venue: Victoria Hall in Walyalup. We’re taking over the whole space, with room for impromptu participatory play, resting or dining between sets, courtyard boogies or massive sets in the main hall. If AE has a theme this year it is “ease”: the festival is still Quite The Journey, but everything you need is close to hand.

Program & Lineup

So far we have announced only our four Seed Fund artists: amby downs (Naarm), Simon Charles & John Kinsella, Lia T & R. Glacken, and Saskia Willinge with Uma Volkmer (Warrang) & Naoko Uemoto. Donate to support new work by these artists now via the Australian Cultural Fund – all donations above $2 are tax deductible.

The full program will go live at 6PM AWST on April 9, 2026. Come to the Program Launch event at Patio.

Accessibility

Victoria Hall is an 8 minute walk from Fremantle Station (about 550m) over footpaths and paved roads. 915 and 502 bus routes stop immediately outside the venue.
Victoria Hall is wheelchair accessible. Some steps separate the bar from the outdoor courtyard, however there is an alternative accessible pathway around the other side of the main hall. We’re currently looking into a ramp for these steps.
The music in the festival is extremely diverse, ranging from extremely quiet, minimal music to loud, repetitive and rhythmic music, noise and drone. Each set is succinctly described in the program to help you decide whether something is for you.
Lighting is a mixture of natural light and warm, ambient light. No lights flashing faster than 5Hz, projections, or strobe lights are used in the festival.
There is a dedicated quiet, low-stim space in the venue. There are also indoor and outdoor social spaces which can be used for a rest between or during sets.
Snacks are available during morning programs, and dinner is available for purchase inside the venue in the evenings. Lunch is best found by going for a short stroll, there’s plenty close by in Fremantle.
We have a small accessibility budget set aside for any attendees who need financial assistance in order to attend. That could be to pay a support person to come with you, or to get an uber to and from the venue door. We encourage disabled folks to get in touch with us to have a chat if you require financial support in order to make your attendance more comfortable.

Tone List is pleased to be invited to present a program in VHS Tracking this year!
“Film critic, zine-maker and Boorloo movie scene stalwart Tristan Fidler has assembled another unique lineup of guest presenters from across our eclectic arts scene, with each selecting a film (or two!) to share and discuss. Expect anything from DIY, local and experimental productions, to new wave classics, international festival hits and divisive Hollywood gems.”
Tone List selections include the near-silent study of light & time, “time space motion” by Shinkan Tamaki (2017), and the ‘imageless film’ “Re-Recorder” by Joshua Bonnetta & Judith Hamann (2021), in a bid to equally annoy fans of film and music alike! In all seriousness they are both incredible works and we’re excited to share them.

Lydia Lunch performs the songs of Suicide & Alan Vega
2026-06-25 20:00 - 23:00 | The Milk Bar, 981 Beaufort St, Inglewood, WA, 6052, Australia
New York – No Wave Queen, Lydia Lunch – returns to Australia to perform the songs of synth – punk band, Suicide and Alan Vega.
Lydia will be joined on stage by Andrew Coates of much loved Melbourne electro trio, Black Cab to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Alan Vega’s passing + special guests.
Lunch originally met Suicide – the duo of late vocalist Alan Vega and multi-instrumentalist Martin Rev – in the 1970s, when Lunch moved to New York City from Rochester as a teenager. She formed a lifelong bond with the pair, often joining them on-stage to perform the song ‘Frankie Teardrop’ and recording a duet as part of Vega’s solo album Sniper. Since Vega’s passing in 2016, Lunch has performed several Suicide tribute shows, most often with Marc Hurtado.
Having previously never performed the show in Australia, Lydia surprised fans on a night off in Melbourne during her 2024 Spoken Word tour with an impromptu appearance at the Tote. It sold out in 3 days so she decided to bring it back for Vega’s anniversary in 2026.
Passionate, sexual, confrontational and bold, Lunch, Vega and Rev are all cut from the same grimy cloth of 1970s New York. This show is more than a tribute. It’s an offering.

Jimi DePriest - Open Studio
2026-07-11 12:00 - 17:00 | Cool Change Contemporary, Level 2 (Kings Complex) 533 Hay Street, Boorloo/Perth, WA, 6000
Concluding the first of four residencies in our 2026–27 Residency Program, Cool Change is excited to present an open studio with Jimi DePriest, featuring an artist talk facilitated by Samuel Beilby—artist, occasional musician, and co-founder/co-director of _____g.s (aka Underscore Gallery & Studios).
With assistance from Matthew Taggart and conceptual input from Lia T, Jimi has been developing an audiovisual installation inspired by ‘clutter rejection’—an adaptive method observed in echolocating bats—for presentation at _____g.s later in the year.
A wire framework, abstractly modelled on the anatomical features of bats, will suspend a 5-channel stereo system attached to a motor and including an interactive system with conductive textile components and input sensors. Field recordings and gritty beats will be controlled by the system and its various inputs through SuperCollider.
From its hardware and software to its audio components, the work considers the bat’s ambiguous subjectivity in an attempt to approximate environmental feedback between its natural sonic world and anthropogenic noise pollution, problematising and reconfiguring echolocation as a site of artistic inspiration and technological invention.

This program is proudly supported by the WA Government.
Cool Change is supported by the Visual Art, Craft and Design Framework, an initiative of the Australian, State and Territory Governments.

Jimi DePriest - Supercollider Workshop
2026-07-12 14:00 - 17:00 | Cool Change Contemporary, Level 2 (Kings Complex) 533 Hay Street, Boorloo/Perth, WA, 6000
Following their open studio and artist talk, Jimi DePriest will present a Sunday afternoon workshop on SuperCollider—an open-source software environment and dynamic programming language used by musicians, artists, and researchers working with sound for audio synthesis and algorithmic composition.
The 3-hour workshop is intended to provide participants with an introduction to the audio program ahead of producing a practical outcome. The first hour will consist of an overview of SuperCollider, while the second hour will see participants develop their own projects to be tested on a 5-channel stereo system in the third hour.
Please note:
Registered participants will need to bring a laptop with SuperCollider pre-installed to the workshop, along with a laptop charger. The software is free, and download/install instructions will be emailed in advance of the course.
While the workshop doesn’t require prior experience with SuperCollider, we suggest that participants have a competent understanding of their laptop and its OS, as well as a basic knowledge of acoustics and digital audio.
