Irish post-punk band Fontaines DC, acclaimed English singer-songwriter PJ Harvey and Polish pianist, composer and singer Hania Rani have been announced as Perth Festival’s first acts for 2025.
The announcement highlights the significant role Perth Festival plays in bringing acts that local audiences may not otherwise see – given so many so-called ‘national tours’ are effectively tours of Australia’s east coast only – across the Nullarbor to Noongar country.
