Matt Corby's first album in five years, Everything’s Fine vividly captures the personal and creative growth of Matt Corby who, like many, was tipped belly side up recently. Beyond the global touring pause, on the day he had planned to begin writing his next album Matt’s home was inundated with floodwaters. His family moved into Rainbow Valley Studios, where he juggled familial responsibilities with his creative pursuits - a one-of-a-kind pressure cooker circumstance that would galvanise his artistic evolution.

Prepare to immerse yourself in an extraordinary evening of music as Matt Corby returns to Perth with his soulful and spellbinding sound Live at Fremantle Prison.
Sing and sway along to the soul-stirring songs of renowned 2x Aria award winning Australian singer-songwriter Matt Corby at spectacular grounds of the iconic Fremantle Prison.
“I'm at a really beautiful point in my life. I'm accepting all this stuff: the good and the bad, but particularly the bad. Which is kind of great. It’s a good thing to come to that point. Life isn't always magical, but the moments that are, well you really value them. I think this record is about that, about managing your actual reality. Sometimes I have those moments when you realise: well I'm still breathing, you still have the gift of life, so everything is fine I guess?”
- MATT CORBY
OPTIONAL PRISON TOUR ADD-ON
$40 plus fees
The Prison Tour is an optional add-on to either a General Admission or Premium GA Ticket.
Prior to the concert, join the Fremantle Prison Highlights Tour; a 30-minute tour that provides visitors with an insight into the past of Fremantle Prison, taking guests through the Main Cell Block, Solitary Confinement and Gallows. Find out how a convict-built prison transformed into Western Australia’s primary place of incarceration for men, women and children, from its construction in the 1850s to a maximum-security gaol from 1887 to 1991. With an experienced guide leading the way, walk back in time and learn about the daily routine of prisoners and the realities of life on the inside of WA’s only World Heritage-listed building. Wheelchair accessibility: 100%
Tours will be conducted in small groups and will begin from around 5.00pm. Ticket holders will be notified prior to the concert about the best time to arrive at the venue.
GREAT GABLE
It’s been a steady and relentless rise for Great Gable – Alex Whiteman (vocals), Matt Preen (guitar), Madi Hanley (drums) and Christopher Bye (bass) – who began jamming together after meeting at uni in Perth. They quickly started making waves with their dynamic sound and energetic live show, honed by consistent touring across Australia and New Zealand.
With a blend of early 2000s NYC rock and UK-influenced indie, Great Gable have crafted a sound that is uniquely their own. Their music is characterised by catchy hooks, heartfelt lyrics, and an overall sense of warmth and positivity. The band's ability to create anthemic, feel-good tunes has earned them a loyal and rapidly growing fan base.
HAZEL
Forming in early 2023, Hazel have burst on to the scene with their energetic - yet groovy live shows. Debuting at Perth’s finest, ‘Indi Bar’, the band have gone on to play some awesome shows and look to continue their fast start with festivals and big support slots to end what has been a crazy 2023! Amber (Vocals), Austen (Bass), Cooper (Guitar), Tryphon (Keys) and Josh (Drums) all come from different musical backgrounds - and once brought together, display their own unique yet catchy brand. Their debut single ‘Pieces’ (released 19/10/23) was the first song the band ever wrote together and are proud to share it with the world. Here’s to many more memories with HAZEL
