If there’s one place that always has something going on, it’s Fremantle. From buzzing markets to spectacular festivals, Perthies in the know will invariably find themselves in Freo for the best experiences. The port city, located about 20 minutes from Perth CBD, becomes home to the Fremantle Winter Music Festival this June 20! Read all about it below.
RTRFM’s Fremantle Winter Music Festival takes place this weekend
North Fremantle is all set to become a music-lover’s dream this Winter Solstice. RTRFM’s Fremantle Winter Music Festival takes place on Saturday, June 20, 2026. With 29 acts across five stages, a mix of indie and popular acts make it to Walyalup for a fun musical evening.
If you fancy grooving to the tunes, check out the Swan Lounge; Anika Louise, Autumn Sage, Bella Rae, Jack Carroll Band and The Pointy Heads are scheduled to perform. Meanwhile, 201 Below (Swan Basement), which was recently renovated, has Club Silly with Agapantha b2b DJ Sweetpea and Lani b2b Nathaara in the pipeline. Very queer, perfect for Pride!
The Port Beach Brewery hosts Datura 4, Doctopus, Oosterbanger and Skortz. Meanwhile, BD Minerals, Bribes, Friends of the Family and Streetlights will grace the outside stage. Then, of course, Mojos has indie sets from The Drowners, Flora Road, Gloss, Harmony Romsloe, Karianne, and Maple. It doesn’t end there. DJ sets from Out To Lunch’s Lachy & Conor, Arielle, and Kayli & Hannah begin in the Courtyard from 5 pm, with free entry to the area all night.
