Free Music at Murdoch concert returns in 2019

Hometown favourite and ARIA Award-winning singer Samantha Jade will headline the Music at Murdoch event, which will be held at Murdoch University's campus in Perth on Saturday 16 February 2019.

The winner of the X-Factor Series 4 and her band will light up the stage, with support acts from Ben Merito and his band, Kiara Eve and the One Big Voice school group.

Samantha said she was excited to be performing in front of a home crowd at the Music at Murdoch event.

“I just love coming back to Perth,” she said.

“I think it is wonderful Murdoch University and the City of Melville are putting on this free community concert.

“I’m proud to be a part of the event and I can’t wait to join the other local acts in putting on a great show for the community.”

This free non-ticketed event is the perfect family night out, with a range of food vans, live entertainment and children’s activities on offer. You can also enjoy a drink from the licensed bar cart set up on Bush Court during the evening. From face painting to circus acts, there’s something here for every family.
