Rawkus Live

19/07/2026

TODAY FROM 1PM

Get ready for a stunning Sunday of live music as RAWKUS Live returns to the legendary Espy Basement TODAY from 1 PM to 4 PM!

Featuring:

Alice Isabella is an emerging indie-pop singer-songwriter from Naarm/Melbourne, blending acoustic elements with honest, emotionally driven storytelling - her intimate songwriting and dynamic pop arrangements move through love, identity, nostalgia and adventure, resonating long after the final chord.

Emma Yue makes music for catharsis. A self-confessed purveyor of loving and losing, she stirs the chaos of her mid-20s into unnervingly confessional folk-pop laced with indie rock bite.

Fauna bring high-energy, bittersweet calls of the jungle to St Kilda - members hailing from different climates and habitats around the globe, channelling indie-rock and garage rock revival into something wild and untamed.

The Pearlies are a mod/jangle-pop outfit determined to bring back the charming melodies, harmonies and twangy guitars of the 1960s, drawing inspiration from The Easybeats, The Beatles, The Kinks and The Carpenters.

And rounding out the bill, group ONE - an emerging Melbourne band blending introspective songwriting with textured, contemporary arrangements.

$10 PRE SALE - Link in Bio or $15 at the door.

Don't miss this incredible showcase of emerging talent in one of Melbourne's most iconic venues. RAWKUS Live offers a unique opportunity to witness the future of Australian music in a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.

Grab your tickets, bring your friends and family, and prepare for an unforgettable Sunday afternoon filled with passion, depth, and the very best of Melbourne's next generation.

This all-ages, drug, alcohol, v**e, and smoke-free event is proudly presented by the City of Port Phillip Youth Events Committee and Rock Academy Australia. RAWKUS Live is more than just a gig series - it's a vital platform for young artists to shine and for music lovers of all ages to come together and celebrate the raw power of live music.
