A new concert series sees an all-female lineup and touring crew across more than 6,000 kilometres of Western Australia, in what organisers describe as the first tour of this scale in the state to employ women in every role involved in its creation and delivery.
Women Out West will run from Friday, October 2 to Sunday, November 1, 2026, stopping in regional communities between Broome and Bridgetown. This special tour is led by Good Nights, a regional touring organisation that has staged more than 500 live music events across regional Western Australia since its launch in 2015. The company has built its reputation on intimate, community-focused shows in towns where access to live music is often limited.
Twelve stops across the state
Women Out West features artists Alexia Parenzee, Melody Pool and Tanya Ransom, and will visit 12 towns over the course of the month-long run. Confirmed dates include the Broome Historical Museum Gardens on October 2, the Courthouse Gallery in Port Hedland on October 3, Kestral Cafe in Carnarvon on October 8, Little Leaf Cafe in Kalbarri on October 10, and 30 Knots Distillery in Geraldton on October 11.
The tour continues through Badgingarra Community Centre on October 16, Suburban Vibes in Fremantle on October 17, Geovino in Harvey on October 23, The Little Theatre in Eaton on October 24, The Chapel in Witchcliffe on October 30, Pemberton Mill Hall on October 31, and concludes at the Bridgetown Pottery Restaurant on November 1.
Workshops and mentoring alongside performances
Beyond live shows, the tour will include workshops, mentoring sessions and community engagement activities aimed at connecting regional musicians and aspiring industry professionals with experienced women working across the music sector, from performers to tour managers, technicians, photographers and production crew.
Good Nights Director Kelsie Miller said the initiative is intended to provide visibility for women in regional areas. “It’s about creating opportunities, building confidence and making sure women and girls in regional communities can see themselves reflected on stage and behind the scenes,” Miller said. “We want young people to know there is a place for them in this industry, no matter where they live.”
Women Out West is funded by Creative Australia and the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport.
