The iconic East Perth Power Station was revived with electricity on Saturday night as DJ duo Royksopp transformed the once-dormant building into a rave of sound and colour.
As Perth Festival takes over the City, the revival of this historic power station on the Swan River has become the talk of the town—and for good reason.
But this time, it wasn’t coal-fired energy surging through its walls. Instead, it was the electrifying beats of Royksopp that resurrected the building, repurposing the space into a new era of community service.
Despite having lived nearby the pink power station for sometime, I had always been curious to see what lay inside and Saturday night was my first time inside.
Walking in, groups of families and friends were sprawled out on the lawn surrounded by food vendors and pop-up bars, all the while backdropped by colourful projections of artworks from First Nations artists, Boorloo Contemporary.
As the countdown began for Royksopp’s set, crowds began to form at the other end of the station — eager to see inside the historic building. It did not disappoint.
The main stage, although outside for the most part, was surrounded by the skeleton of the 100-year-old building, with the station’s weathered walls projecting an installation of lights and sounds.
As for Royksopp, the Norwegian duo Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge were electrifying — serving up a set of contemporary electronic music, combing some of their most popular tracks with signature synth-pop and house sounds.
The stage was packed to the brim, and for the two-hour sold-out show, Perth danced beneath the remnants of a bygone era, now repurposed for the rhythm of the present.
With a line-up of international and Aussie acts set to follow, the power station’s regeneration continues. For tickets and upcoming performances, head to Perth Festival’s website here.
