LITTLEPALOOZA

A one-day celebration of everything Lulie Tavern: live music, good times, and a commitment to keeping it all accessible, inclusive, and free.

Taking over both levels, Lulie Tavern & upstairs at Full Moon Fever from 2pm 'til late, LittlePalooza brings together a stacked lineup of bands and DJs who embody the spirit of the venue—loud, loose, and full of heart.

Expect a genre-hopping journey from gritty punk to swaggering psych and classic rock'n'roll, with some of our all-time favourites returning to the stage.

Back by popular demand are Good Sniff and Hogwash, two high-energy acts who've torn it up at previous LuliePaloozas and are back to do it all again.

We're also honoured to host a special solo set from Babyshakes Dillon of Full Flower Moon Band— expect something intimate, raw, and totally unforgettable.

Joining the bill are local legends Grim Rhythm, known for their feral guitar licks and relentless groove, and R.U.B, who bring a punchy, playful punk edge that'll keep you on your toes. Then there's FAIRTRADE NARCOTICS, delivering a dose of genre bending weirdness that somehow makes perfect sense in the Lulie universe.

We're also thrilled to welcome Porpoise Spit, bringing their emotionally-charged, fuzzed-out anthems that land somewhere between riot grrrl and heartbreak pop; and Geography, serving up dreamy indie textures with guts, grit, and a whole lot of groove.

And that's not all—we've got more acts to be announced, and DJs spinning between sets and into the night to keep the vibe going strong upstairs and down. Whether you're sinking margs on the rooftop at Full Moon Fever or right up front with the band downstairs, there's a spot for everyone at LittlePalooza.

This is more than just a mini-festival—it's a love letter to the community that keeps Lulie ticking. To the bands, the bartenders the punters, the weirdos, the regulars, the first-timers. To the spirit of DIY, diversity and live music that doesn't cost a week's rent. That's what LittlePalooza is all about.

Geography
