Celebrate Lunar New Year under the glow of the red lanterns at Casa Musica with lion dancers, live music and more at this FREE family-friendly event.
❤️ Wear red – a colour symbolising luck, happiness and prosperity – and join in an unforgettable night of music, tradition and celebration.
Under the Red Lanterns brings together Perth’s largest Southeast Asian line-up for a night that honours tradition while celebrating contemporary talent.
The evening opens with Linh & William Acoustic Duo, setting a warm and soulful tone with their heartfelt acoustic set. Flying Kik follows, blending smooth vocals and rhythmic grooves that capture the pulse of modern Asian-Australian sound.
As night falls, Kurt Carrera and his band takes the stage with their signature energy and charisma, igniting the crowd with powerful vocals and infectious beats.
The evening crescendos with the Yaolin Kung Fu Dragon & Lion Dance Association – a spectacular fusion of drums, cymbals, acrobatics and colour – embodying the spirit, strength and good fortune of Lunar New Year.
Guests are invited to take part in this tradition by gifting a red packet (provided on the night, please add your money donation inside) – a small envelope symbolising prosperity and good luck – to the lions during the performance.
One night only. A festival of sound, movement and culture – Under the Red Lanterns is Lunar New Year at its most spectacular.
