Here we are with 4 shows to go! Can you believe it?! You have a few chances to experience the Music Box before we pack it away for another year. There are still a few tickets left for tonight's performance by Tony Allen, the Nigerian drummer known for this collaborations with Fela Kuti and Damon Albarn (the Good the Bad and the Queen), he has some killer French musicians backing his performance tonight. This is their first visit to Australia so come down and give them a huge welcome! Stay late tonight and see the lovely Grace Barbe and DJ Lady Carla.

Friday night sees German-based Jazzanova member Alex Barck spinning nu-jazz, break-beat and modern funk and soul free from 10.30pm..that's right JAZZANOVA FREE FROM 10.30PM FRIDAY 6 MARCH - bargain!

And on Saturday night there are still tickets available to The Ruby Suns and High Places and the Architecture in Helsinki DJs spin some tunes free from 10.30pm.
It's all over come Sunday night, if you missed out on tickets to Mogwai you can still catch one-man song and dance show (and last year's Festival favourite) Dan Deacon and DJ Cutter (RTRFM) free from 10.30pm (subject to capacity, ticket holders have priority entry) the bar is open until 2am!

We hope you have enjoyed the summer of music under the stars at the Beck's Music Box. It has been awesome to see full houses and warm and welcoming audiences full of enthusiasm throughout the season. Thanks to everyone that has come down and for helping make Perth memorable for all our artists. Some personal highlights have been the sublime Jose Gonzalez and the awesome Optimo DJs, The Triffids shows which were a true pleasure and privilege to work on and left the Festival staff with post-Triffids blues they were so good, and the wonderful and spiritual experience over the last two nights from Gurrumul, not mention of Montreal’s inventive stage show and the raw power of Black Mountain!
