The exciting news this year is that the festival has gone NATIONAL!! That's right folks, Wallapalooza has moved on from it's humble beginnings on the Gold Coast to bring you 5 shows in all major states on the East Coast. That means 100+ bands over 2 weekends! MADNESS!!
All bands play original material and are a showcase of the amazing talent being produced in our own backyard. One might say they are the crème de la crème of the Aussie music scene right now. The first round of the Melbourne and Brisbane line-up's have been announced with more bands to be named shortly. The festival has also invited special fx make-up artists, street performers, fire twirlers and more!
As we all would appreciate, achieving national exposure for the festival and the artists comes at a high cost, and here's where Wallapalooza needs your help. A challenge the team faces is financial support for travel and accommodation expenses for both the bands and production team, and in attempt to alleviate the costs the guys have set up a pledge account via Kickstarter. Donations are gratefully accepted starting from as little as $5, with amazing reward incentives for donations of up to $150 and more.
All you need to do is head on over to Kickstarter via this link https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/91029407/wallapalooza and dig deep to help support the scene and this stellar event.
The Drum is majorly excited about the live music scene right now, and credit goes out to the Wallapalooza team for pushing forward over the years and expanding out of Queensland to bring us such incredible local talent country wide.
We will be featuring the bands on the bill leading up to June so watch this space friends...\m/
