As venue restrictions ease, Coopers Brewery has teamed up with Live Nation to restore live pub performances across the country.

Building on the momentum of their popular livestream events in early 2020, the folks at Coopers Brewery have announced Crooked Colours as the headline act for the WA leg of their Live, Local and Loud gig series. Initially live streaming performances during the national lockdown, the series now welcomes barflies back into pubs across the country, with the lads from Crooked Colours kickstarting Perth’s eased restrictions this Sunday at Hotel Rottnest (January 17).

Conceived during the pandemic, the gig events aim to support the COVID-affected entertainment and hospitality industries in every state, with virtual lockdown performances from the likes of Illy and Ocean Alley ensuring that local pubs and revellers kept afloat. Now propelled by reopening bars and additional slated performances from The Rubens in Sydney and Bad//Dreems in Adelaide, Live, Loud and Local promises a breezy re-entry into your local music scene.
