The Ultimate Gardens Party
Chevron Gardens

Perth’s summer menu of global beats and irresistible tunes returns to Chevron Gardens at Elizabeth Quay for the 2019 Perth Festival.
Whether its indie-rock, techno, electro-soul, hip-hop, funk or good old-fashioned rock’n’roll, we have your sonic summer season covered on our Mainstage and Gardens stages.
Chevron Gardens is bookended by two spectacular shows starting with songman legend Archie Roach with Radical Son, Emily Wurramara and John Bennett in Wanju Ba Boorlo: Welcome to Perth and ending with the explosive Christine and the Queens, a band that oozes style via its robustly political front woman.

Expect intoxicating soulful musings from Canada’s Rhye, dance the night away with the textured R&B of Aloe Blacc and celebrate Valentine’s Day with the melodic intensity of Cat Power.
Underground hip-hop kings Jungle Brothers and local heroes Downsyde will hit EQ hard, while James Morrison, Paul Grabowsky and Spiderbait’s Kram come together as the improv super-trio The Others. Blackgaze outfit Deafheaven joins forces with bluesy metallers Zeal and Ardor for a night of sheer ferocity, and high-octane UK rockers Nothing But Thieves round up the serious hard-hitters. Dream pop duo Beach House will bring their adored songbook to kaleidoscopic life, indie-folk charmers Julia Jacklin and Julien Baker will deliver the balmy ballads, and the sizzling anthems of The Preatures will be raw and stripped back for some unplugged delight.

Hipsters of groove, The Internet take us into the closing weekend alongside techno dance lords Orbital who celebrate 30 years of party-starting awesomeness. Our Gardens Stage also returns, showcasing the finest talents from our own WA backyard, with the likes of Jamilla, Tanaya Harper and Jack Davies and the Bush Chooks leading the local charge.
Chevron Australia Managing Director Nigel Hearne says Chevron is proud to continue its support of Perth Festival, and in particular the Chevron Gardens.
‘Perth Festival continues to bring enriching, world class cultural experiences to the local community, helping to cement Perth as a truly global city and a thriving place to work and live,’ Mr Hearne says.
Perth Festival program associate for contemporary music Clara Iaccarino added, ‘It’s always a pleasure to present Perth with a plethora of incredible artists from around the world.
‘Our aim is to present something for everyone and we’re proud to say that 2019 covers sonic territory from heavy metal to improvised jazz, hip hop, indie-folk and everything in between,’ she says. ‘We’re looking forward to sharing the balmy summer nights with musical magicians of all genres. See you there!”

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
