Western Australia has gifted the world with some of Australia’s most unique musical exports – from Tame Impala to Make The Suffer, the state is clearly buzzing with vision-strong up and comers who are ready to shake up scenes with their own takes on tried and true tropes.
Now, Freo.Social, Perth’s newest venue is set to continue the city’s great musical tradition with a lineup of the most enthralling live shows on offer. From local and international tours, comedy nights, festivals and theatre performances, the Freo.Social is total hub of creativity and expression.
Organisers have announced that the venue’s 600-capacity Entertainment Hall will host the upcoming slew of talent, kicking things off with “Freo Week” – a week dedicated entirely to celebrating the culture of Fremantle and surrounding suburbs, featuring performances from John Butler, The Waifs and San Cisco.
Director Dave Chitty has discussed the venue’s ambitions, reflecting on its diverse lineup thus far, “We want to attract a broad cross-section of creative industries and entertainment lovers to the venue,” he said.
“There is something for everyone and we’ll continue to attract and host all kinds of entertainment. We have no doubt that the high calibre of performers will be a big drawcard for lovers of culture, the arts and live performance.”
Upcoming shows include Australian favourites like Dan Sultan, Middle Kids and Hiatus Kyote, as well as the Revelations Perth International Film Festival.
Mr Chitty said Freo.Social was the second venue for the Group, which launched the Otherside Brewhouse in Myaree in mid 2018, although Freo.Social would be like nothing else seen before in WA.
“There really isn’t anything here like Freo.Social. In addition to the Entertainment Hall Freo.Social will also include an on-site brewery, brewing a range of exciting experimental brews onsite, as well as a range of exciting food options, dining spaces, beer gardens and a playground area for children.
“It will be a place for those that love to socialise, to drink good beer and eat good food, and of course for those that enjoy live music and performance. It really is something quite special and we are really looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming in the local community,” Mr Chitty added.
