Here’s a fun Friday fact* for you all — did you know Perth is the drum’n’bass capital of the world? It’s true! From Pendulum to ShockOne, Ekko & Sidetrack, Greg Packer and of course the legendary Roller nights around Easter time at the Rosemount Hotel, for some reason we just do it better than the rest.
Continuing our longstanding tradition of producing titans of drum and/or bass is Luude, who returns home from global domination for one of his biggest shows here ever this June. Get all the deets below, along with all the usual good stuff, including some tasty tips for the weekend, free concerts, markets and more.
*Disclaimer: Perth is OK! did not research this statement, but you can trust us based on half of the office’s formative years spent rinsing far too many dancefloors back in the day, and the other half still doing it.
Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!

A look inside Little Creatures Freo’s new $10M brewpub
25 years after first opening their doors, Little Creatures Fremantle has expanded – officially opening the doors to their huge new $10 million harbourfront venue on Thursday, March 12.
They haven’t gone far though, with the expansive new venue situated on Mews Road, just next door to the original Great Hall location – which has been incorporated into the new-look brewery and renamed The Brewhouse.
The Brewhouse will be one of four distinct zones within the venue, which is now able to host over 1300 patrons. The “spiritual home” of Little Creatures, the Brewhouse will now be the Visitor’s Hub, hosting brewery tours, tastings and a merch store.
