Join us for MARRPALOOZA 4: Wild and Fierce and Not Bothered

Started in 2023 by two small promoters in Newcastle, Marrapalooza is an independent festival showcasing the UK’s best grassroots music, held across venues in the beautiful Ouseburn Valley of Newcastle.

Our festival aims to be the most ambitious and varied feast of grassroots music in the North of England and Marrapalooza 4: Wild and Fierce and Not Bothered is our biggest and most ambitious festival to date. Thanks for helping us do this.
