Live music for Perth venues & barsYour best night, every week.

Most Perth venues pay a musician, get a good night, and by Tuesday it never happened. We run your live music and turn every gig into a week of marketing: filmed, edited, posted and emailed.

Live music booking for Perth pubs, bars and taverns

Hire a band or a DJ for your venue, and we run everything after "yes".

Open Dawn is a Perth live music booking agency built for hospitality. We book proven performers, produce the night, film it and market it, so your pub, bar or tavern gets a full room and a week of content from one weekly package. You never chase a musician, sort a set time or edit a video. You pour drinks. We run the night.

A gig night, run as a system

One weekly package covers the whole cycle, so the night never depends on you chasing anyone.

The night

  • Proven performers, matched to your crowd
  • Three-hour live sets, calendar handled end to end
  • Cover guaranteed: the night always happens

The content

  • Professional filming at the gig
  • Three edited short videos, every week
  • Three to five photos, every week

The marketing

  • Posted for you, on your channels
  • Weekly email to your customer list
  • Monthly recap of what the content did

Why it compounds

A good gig fills a room once. A filmed gig keeps working after last drinks.

Every set becomes videos and photos on your pages that week, plus an email to the people who already know your venue. The people who came see themselves and share it. The people who didn't come see what they missed. Every gig promotes the next one, and your quiet night gets a reason to exist.

You never touch any of it. We film the night, cut the videos, write the captions, publish them to your pages and email your list. Your marketing does itself while you pour drinks.

The weekly videos, for real

Three acts from one live music night at Valley Social, each filmed, cut and delivered by us. This is the kind of short video your venue gets every single week. Sound on.

DJ nights, run the same way

A live band or a DJ, the package is the same. This was a DJ event we booked, produced and filmed at The Landing in Alkimos, Perth.

Questions venues ask

What does live music cost for a Perth venue?
Our weekly packages are $1,250 for one night a week and $2,400 for three, and the price covers the lot: the performers, the filming, the edited content and the posting. One-off events are quoted for the night you need. The first gig is always free, so you see the value before you spend anything.

How does the free first gig work?
We play your room once, properly, at no cost and with no contract. You watch the night and the till. If it works, we lock in a weekly night. If it doesn't, you have lost nothing and had a good night of live music.

Can you book a DJ instead of a band?
Yes. We book live musicians, DJs, or both across a night, matched to your crowd. The DJ hire nights we have run at The Landing in Alkimos are shown further up this page.

Which areas of Perth do you cover?
Right across the Perth metro area. We run regular nights through the northern corridor, from Alkimos to Scarborough, and travel for the right room.

What kind of music do your performers play?
Acoustic sets, full bands, solo artists and DJs across the genres that suit a hospitality crowd. We match the act to your room rather than sending whoever is free that week.

Do we have to sign a contract?
No. Everything is week to week with no lock-in. You keep the night while it's paying for itself and stop the moment it isn't, with no notice period and no exit fee.

What happens if a performer cancels?
Cover is guaranteed, so the night still goes ahead. Across more than 150 bookings our cancellation rate has stayed under 1%, and if something changes we send a replacement rather than leave you with an empty room.

Two ways in

Both week to week, both with the first gig free. The price is per week and covers the lot: the sets, the filming, the content and the posting.

See it in your room first.

The first gig is free. If the night works, we keep going. If it doesn't, you've lost nothing and had a good night of live music.
