Perth city centre is buzzing with anticipation as preparations for the 125 Live! street party get underway, celebrating the illustrious 125-year history of Perth Concert Hall. Residents and visitors can expect a weekend filled with vibrant cultural experiences, though some temporary traffic adjustments are now in effect to facilitate the grand celebrations.
The heart of the festivities will be Mill Street, which has already undergone a significant transformation. Starting earlier this week, vehicle access on Mill Street has been suspended and will remain so until early next week. For safety, pedestrian movement from High Street onto Mill Street is also temporarily restricted during this period. However, all local businesses situated on Mill Street are maintaining their regular operating hours and welcome customers as usual.
Further changes to the city’s traffic flow include a revised one-way system on North Port, guiding vehicles from Charlotte Street towards Kinnoull Street. Motorists are advised to heed local signage and plan their routes accordingly to navigate around the event area smoothly. A Weekend Extravaganza on Mill Street
The 125 Live! event promises two full days of entertainment, running from midday until 10:30 PM on both Saturday and Sunday. The daytime hours, from noon to 4 PM, offer free entry to all, allowing everyone to soak in the festive atmosphere without a ticket. As evening descends, from 6 PM onwards, the celebrations will continue with ticketed performances.
Ticket prices for the evening programme are tiered to accommodate various audiences: individuals under 18 can attend for £15, general adult admission is set at £20, and Friends of Perth Theatre and Concert Hall benefit from a reduced price of £18. Tickets can be conveniently purchased online via the Perth Theatre and Concert Hall website.
Mill Street is being dramatically transformed to host four distinct stages, showcasing a diverse lineup of musical talent. Attendees can look forward to performances from acts such as Walt Disco, Apologetics, and Parliamo, ensuring a wide appeal across musical tastes. Beyond the live music, the street will be animated with captivating visual arts, including dramatic projections crafted by Alba Corral and a breathtaking light display designed by Will Potts. These artistic elements are expected to create a truly immersive and memorable experience, enveloping the audience in a spectacle of sound and vision. Culinary Delights and Theatrical Surprises
Complementing the rich artistic programme, the event will also feature an array of food stalls offering diverse culinary options to satisfy every palate. For those seeking refreshments, two bars will be on hand, providing a selection of beverages to enhance the celebratory mood. Beyond the announced schedule, a spokesperson for Perth Theatre and Concert Hall hinted at additional unexpected elements, noting that the event was:
