New jazz festival set to transform inner city suburb
The Perth International Jazz Festival is set to close its 2025 program with a brand-new event that will bring jazz to the streets on Northbridge. The PIJF Block Party will take over the Urban Orchard on Saturday, November 1, transforming the Northbridge precinct into a high-energy music hub blending jazz with funk, soul, hip-hop and pop. Festival director Mace Francis said the new flagship event was an exciting evolution for the long-running jazz festival. 'This festival-style bill, with multiple headline acts and a mix of supporting artists in a public open space, is a fresh new concept for PIJF,' he said. 'It reflects our mission to evolve how people experience jazz — by embracing the diversity of styles it influences, from funk and soul to pop and hip-hop.'

'Lettuce is the best live funk band in the world — period,' Dr Francis said. ARIA-winning pop sensation Budjerah is coming to Northbridge.

The line-up also includes Bumpy, a Melbourne-based artist celebrating her debut album Kanana, Zero Emcee, a rising hip-hop artist recently returned from a European tour, Pareidolia, a boundary-pushing jazz/hip-hop collective based in WA, and DJ Maestro, an Amsterdam-based producer and DJ known for blending jazz classics with modern dancefloor grooves. 'Each act was hand-picked to show how jazz can evolve and influence other styles,' Dr Francis said. 'Whether it's the soul of Bumpy, the lyricism of Zero Emcee, or the cross-genre innovation of Pareidolia and DJ Maestro, they all reflect the freedom, fun and diversity at the heart of jazz.' In additional to the music, the Urban Orchard will become a pop-up festival precinct with cocktail bars, spritz stations and curated food stalls highlighting WA produce. 'This is not just a concert — it's an experience,' Dr Francis said. 'The PIJF Block Party is about connection, movement and discovering the joy of jazz in all its forms in a community, festive environment.' Tickets go on sale July 31. For event details, visit

First look: Netflix reveals glimpse of Emma Corrin's new Pride and Prejudice
The Crown star Emma Corrin can be seen embodying Elizabeth Bennet in a first-look image for Netflix's adaptation of Pride And Prejudice. In the Jane Austen novel, Elizabeth and her four sisters face pressure to marry rich as their father's property is entailed and can only be passed to a male heir. A first-look at the production shows the five Bennet sisters in Georgian-era clothing walking in a field alongside their mother. It was previously announced that Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman would be playing Elizabeth's mother, Mrs Bennet, with Slow Horses star Jack Lowden starring as the protagonist's love interest, Mr Darcy. Netflix has announced that Industry star Freya Mavor will play Jane Bennet, with Heartstopper actress Rhea Norwood starring as Lydia Bennet and newcomers Hopey Parish and Hollie Avery playing Mary and Kitty Bennet respectively. Also joining the cast ensemble is Scoop actor Rufus Sewell as Mr Bennet and comedian and actor Jamie Demetriou as Mr Collins, a clergyman and distant cousin of Mr Bennet's. Other cast members include Irish actress Fiona Shaw as Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Disclaimer star Louis Partridge as Mr Wickham, Domino Day's Siena Kelly as Caroline Bingley, Irish actor Daryl McCormack as Mr Bingley, Black Mirror's Anjana Vasan as Mrs Gardiner and Marie Antoinette actor Sebastian Armesto as Mr Gardiner. The six-part series will be a classic adaptation of Austen's novel, written and executive produced by Everything I Know About Love author Dolly Alderton. There have been many adaptations of Austen's classic across the years including the 2005 film, starring Keira Knightley, which marks its 20th anniversary this year. In 2024, the shirt worn by Colin Firth when he strode across fields dripping wet after a swim in the lake during the BBC TV adaptation in 1995 sold for £20,000 at a charity auction. Among the other adaptations is comedy horror film Pride And Prejudice And Zombies, starring Lily James and Matt Smith, which is based on Seth Grahame-Smith's book of the same name.
