Perth’s Hottest Tickets

While the whole year is packed with amazing events, there are a few massive acts where tickets are already running low. If you’re planning on catching pop sensation Zara Larsson or the highly anticipated return of Hilary Duff, you’ll need to keep your fingers crossed there’s a late release of additional tickets. Whilst not currently sold out, tickets are moving fast for the long-awaited homecoming of Tame Impala this October, and the UK’s own Lily Allen on the 1st of November. These are the “big ticket” events of the season and tickets definitely won’t last long!

Rock Anthems and Pop Icons

The rock and alternative scene kicks things off with a bang this April. Fans of high-energy anthems should prepare for a heavy-hitting double-bill when A Day To Remember and Papa Roach take the stage on the 4th. Followed by the genre-bending musician Machine Gun Kelly on the 8th. The momentum continues into May with Aussie legend Guy Sebastian and a nostalgic, art-rock celebration with Split Enz. Later in the year, the arena shifts gears for the viral Electric Callboy in September and the soulful pop of Conan Gray in October.

Hoops and High-Stakes Comedy

Beyond the music, RAC Arena remains the premier destination for world-class sports and massive laughs. If you haven’t caught a basketball or netball game here yet, you’re in for a treat! This venue is the absolute gold standard for sports fans in the West and a must do to tick off this year. In March, West Coast Fever will kick off their 2026 campaign as the Suncorp Super Netball league reaches its milestone tenth season. In June, the Harlem Globetrotters will be celebrating 100 years of basketball thrills with Perth fans.  

If you’re looking for a laugh, the mid-year schedule is essentially a comedy festival under one roof. Jimmy Carr lands for a two-night stint in late April, followed by a winter run of heavyweights. Including Jim Jefferies and Urzila Carlson. All culminating in a massive night with Carl Barron on the 1st of August.

More Than a Show: The Foodie Experience

As we recently explored, the experience at RAC Arena is about more than just the show. The venue has evolved into a genuine foodie paradise, so make sure you arrive early to hit the Pirate Life Bar or grab some Pulled Pork Nachos. Best of all, getting there is completely stress-free! The Arena is a short five-minute stroll from Perth Station and many tickets even include free Transperth travel. 

Ready to experience the magic of seeing a show at RAC Arena? Make sure to purchase your tickets through RAC Arena’s only authorised agency, Ticketek.

Sleep in Style

These are more than just your average glamping tents. Instead picture three eco-friendly, off-grid sanctuaries spaced far apart. It’s just you, nature and maybe a curious kangaroo hopping by or a roaming flock of sheep grazing by your deck. Inside indulge in a cloud-soft super king bed, luxe linen and designer furnishings and a bathroom with a view you’ll want to Instagram (yes, it even has hot showers and flushing toilets).

The star attraction? A private stone bathtub on your deck overlooking rolling hills, picture-postcard morning mist, grazing wildlife and the sounds of songful birds. Imagine just you and your loved one, with a glass of local wine in hand, sunset glowing pink across the valley and not a soul in sight, pure bliss.

Each tent also comes kitted with a kitchenette, BBQ, Nespresso machine and your own firepit (from May to October). For chilly nights, curl up by the indoor fireplace (from April to November) with all wood included. It’s basically camping, but as far from roughing it as you can get.

Nature, Your Way

With 478 acres (that’s half the size of King’s Park) to explore, you can wander among ancient jarrah. Meander through centuries-old grass trees, spot kangaroos and discover beautiful wildflowers year-round. Or take it easy and chill out on your deck while kookaburras provide the playlist. The stillness here does something to your soul. You’ll notice it the moment you drive through the gates and travel the picturesque kilometre of gravel road to your dream escape.

Sparkling Extras 

Want more than just relaxation? Serenity Gully’s add-ons are pure indulgence. Enhance your stay with an in-tent massages that melts away the last bit of city stress. Snack on a gourmet grazing box, freshly made soup and delicious desserts delivered straight to your tent. Add a few romantic touches like flowers, chocolates, petals arranged in a heart on your bed and more. You can even book a photographer to capture your golden-hour glow. With private yoga amongst the trees coming soon.

Out & About

If you can pull yourself away, Bridgetown, Balingup, Pemberton and Manjimup are all nearby. Think boutique wineries, cideries and fresh farm-gate produce from Western Australia’s renowned Food Bowl. The Golden Valley Tree Park is jaw-dropping in autumn and the Blackwood River is perfect for kayaking, fishing or simply drifting. You can even feed wild emus and kangaroos at Donnelly River Village, only twenty minutes away.

Book Your Stay!
