Victoria Park Pop-Up Performers 2026–27: Local Musicians and Street Acts Invited for Perth Summer Events
A council-run performance programme in Perth's inner southeast
The Town of Victoria Park in Western Australia is inviting local musicians, street performers and other engaging live acts to express interest in its 2026–27 Summer Season Pop Up Street Performance Series. The council plans appearances in business and community precincts from November 2026 to March 2027, including a Summer Street Party on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
The published application form is available now on the council’s official events website. Importantly, the council does not provide a firm closing date on its current public call, so performers should not rely on an invented 'last day to apply'. They should contact the local authority about selection windows and remaining programme dates.
Who should consider the expression of interest
The invitation specifically seeks local street performers, musicians and artists, rather than overseas acts planning a showcase tour. Solo instrumentalists, small acoustic groups, singers, family-friendly roaming entertainers and performers able to activate local public spaces may be suitable, depending on the event atmosphere, amplification constraints and logistical arrangements.
The council describes its event vision as 'Loved, Local and Alive'. Performers should outline how their act will work for mixed-age audiences in open public precincts and whether it requires a stage, amplification, power supply or special accessibility arrangements. Those needs should be discussed with the organizer before a booking is confirmed.
The online form asks for a real fee quote
Applicants supply a performance name, email and telephone, links to past work or optional video/audio documentation, their dates of availability between November 2026 and March 2027, and their preferred location if any. The form explicitly asks for a fee quote per performance. This means each act should propose a sensible professional rate reflecting set length, rehearsal, travel, equipment and any additional personnel; the council does not publish a guaranteed flat payment for everyone.
The form asks whether the act is available for the Summer Street Party on November 14 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and whether it holds public liability insurance. According to the question displayed on the council’s own form, lacking insurance does not by itself rule an applicant out; any actual engagement may still involve additional risk assessment or insurance requirements.
Safety induction and operational planning
The council states that all accepted performers need to complete an online induction before appearing. Applicants should review the downloadable EOI terms, including technical, public safety, set-up and conduct requirements. If you performed earlier in the 2026–27 series and your act has not changed, the form asks about your previous participation and whether updated performance content is needed.
The submission portal permits relevant image, document, music and video file formats subject to a 10 MB limit for uploaded supporting files. Prepare concise performance examples and a clear contact person so the council can assess whether your act fits a particular site and date.
About the public organizer
The Town of Victoria Park is a local government authority operating civic events, an annual arts season and public-art and place-making initiatives. Its website publishes a public events plan, local cultural opportunities, council contact information and the official expression-of-interest form, providing several ways to verify who is responsible.
This is a real opportunity to be considered for programming, not a guarantee of a paid booking simply because a form is submitted. Musicians should ask for written confirmation of the proposed fee, performance duration, sound checks, weather arrangements, cancellation conditions and any permissions needed to sell merchandise.
