South Perth Sounds is set to make a triumphant return in 2025, following a five-year hiatus of the festival. The free community event will be revived at Sir James Mitchell Park and feature headline performances by indie-pop favourites San Cisco, supported by local up-and-comers End Of Fashion.
This free, family-friendly event begins at 5 pm. on the 22nd of February and will include pre-show activities such as children’s entertainment, roving performers, and food trucks. Guests are encouraged to bring picnic rugs to soak in the afternoon sunset accompanying the stage.
Starting out the night of music will be WA rockers End Of Fashion, led by Justin Burford, with the four-piece kicking off main stage performances at 6 pm. Allowing for punters to get an early bedtime in after the gig, San Cisco will have an early 7:10-8:30 pm set.
San Cisco, who became Australia’s sweethearts from 2010s hits Awkward and Too Much Time Together, recently released their fifth studio album, Under The Light. The 11-track album, released in March, shows a maturing of San Cisco’s pop-tinged sound.
Sponsored by Lotterywest and held in partnership with Mentally Healthy WA’s Act Belong Commit campaign, the 2025 edition of the festival marks its first time since 2020. The last held festival contained a set from WA rock royalty Eskimo Joe.
