Rosemount Hotel, also known as 'The Rosemount', or 'The Rosie' is a live music venue in North Perth, Western Australia.[1][2]

Description

The venue is known to play host to local, Australian, and International acts. It has tended to play local music acts that are already somewhat established or on the rise. Some noteworthy acts known to have performed at the venue (sometimes at relatively early stages of their career) include Tame Impala,[Note 1][3] Hiatus Kaiyote,[Note 2][4] Pond,[5] and King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard.[Note 3][6][7]

The Rosemount is a mid-sized live music venue, with a main stage capacity of 550; and full house capacity of over 800.[8][9] This makes it larger than some of Perth's other notable music venues, like Mojo's Bar.

History and operations

The Rosemount was originally built in 1902 during WA's gold boom.[10] It has been a continuously licensed hotel for over a century.[11][12] The building underwent an extensive art-deco renovation in 1937, with its owner Robert Lakey spending £12,000 to add refrigeration and extra wings to the bar.[10][13] The Lakey family was associated with the bar in its early years.[14]

From 1919 to 1922 an outdoor cinema operated behind the hotel, and it was also used for public meetings.[15] It was renovated again in 2023, with a new bar area, mezzanine viewing platforms, and a D&B PA system.[8]

The building was heritage listed in 2007.[16]

Notable acts

Some notable past acts known to have performed at the venue include: Tame Impala,[Note 1][3] Koi Child,[17] Hiatus Kaiyote,[4] Pond,[5] King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard,[6][7] The Vines,[18] Silverchair, Jebediah, Drapht,[19] Meg Mac,[20] Teenage Fanclub,[21][22] and Eskimo Joe.[23]
