LuliePalooza Reveals New Venue and Lineup for 2026
Organizers of the popular Melbourne event, LuliePalooza, have revealed the exciting lineup and various changes to the festival’s setup for its upcoming fifth edition on March 21, 2026. The most significant alteration for this year is relocating the festival stage to the southwest corner of Victoria Park. This adjustment aims to enhance audience comfort by providing more open space, natural shade, and a clearer view of the stage. In addition to these improvements, an LED screen and new viewing platforms will be installed to allow attendees to fully immerse themselves in the chaotic atmosphere of the event. The festivities will kick off earlier this year, starting at 11.30 am.
The musical lineup for LuliePalooza 2026 promises to be a strong one, with talented artists set to grace the stage. Headlining performers include Grace Cummings, who will be joined by Private Function for their final show as a band, following their decision to part ways in 2025. Big Noter, a project led by renowned Australian rapper Briggs, is also set to headline the event. WILSN will bring a touch of soulful modern music to the mix, complemented by the high-energy performance expected from Greek-Australian punk siblings, Frenzee. Benjamin Stewart, performing with his band, Slowly Slowly, will treat attendees to live renditions of tracks from his recent solo album, “Junkdrawers.” Other notable acts scheduled to perform include Melbourne-based rockers Grim Rhythm, punk alt band The Vovos, The Gnomes from Frankston, alt-country group Smith & Western Jury, and The Deadnecks, a tribute band dedicated to The Grateful Dead.
Aside from the main stage performances, festival-goers can look forward to skate sessions, the popular bucking bull attraction, and a wide selection of food options from vendors like Lulie Burgers and Dingo Ate My Taco. Refreshing beverages will be available throughout the day, ensuring attendees stay hydrated and energized. The VIP Bar, a favorite feature among guests, will make a return appearance this year, featuring a surprise musical guest. A novel addition to LuliePalooza 2026 is the opportunity to purchase a showbag filled with products from brands such as Archie Rose, Smoke Dreams, HAVN, Heaps Normal, and more.
