What is Limelight?
Limelight is a music support fund presented by RAC Arena and supported by WAM. The goal of the initiative is to put the spotlight on up and coming WA musicians, to help them become the next arena act.
We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to be able to host world class live entertainment for the people of WA, and welcome the opportunity to give back to the community in this small way.
Congrats to our 2024 Limelight wiinners!
In the third consecutive year of RAC Arena’s initiative, emerging alt-rock band, The Kickons, have been chosen by a judging panel of local and interstate industry professionals to be the recipient of the Limelight music support fund package valued at over $20,000.
