Perth Poetry Festival 2026

OUT of Line

A Queer Poetry Showcase

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Date: Wednesday, 25 November 2026

Time: [TIME TO BE CONFIRMED]

Venue: Royale Theatre, Planet Royale, 12 Lake Street, Northbridge WA 6003

Tickets: $5

OUT of Line is where poetry gets loud, weird, and wonderfully unruly.

Showcasing a fierce and fabulous line-up of bold, boundary-breaking voices from the LGBTQIA+ community, OUT of Line is the rebellious pulse of Perth Poetry Festival. A celebration of voices that queer the mic, break the rules and bite back.

Expect poetry that refuses to behave. Words that provoke, seduce, unsettle and surprise. Performances that move between the fiercely political and the deeply personal, the outrageous and the tender, the hilarious and the heartbreakingly honest.

This year, OUT of Line takes over the Royale Theatre at Planet Royale, in the heart of Northbridge, for a night of community, pride and poetic rebellion. Come as you are, bring your whole self, and join us in celebrating the glorious, messy, defiant beauty of queer expression.

Featuring:

Featured poets and performers coming soon!
