🙌👊😍

Thank you so much to everyone who came, played, donated, helped, and worked to make this the best Loserpalooza yet.

You Losers raised an astronomical total of $9546.23 (incl $50 donated direct to Lifeline thanks Ash). That’s nearly double last year’s amount! And the most financially successful Loserpalooza we have held. You should all be so incredibly proud of yourselves & I am so exceptionally grateful for all of you & what we have achieved together. We have now raised a total $45k for Lifeline in the last 8 years.

While Lifeline Aotearoa now receives some funding from the government, they are still very reliant on fundraising campaigns like ours. Your money will be used for training hours, call and text answering, staffing and a nationwide service.

Special thank you to Totara Street (Ross, Jay and all their staff), whom we wouldn’t be able to do this without their financial assistance with free venue, gear hire and ensuring the day runs smoothly.

All 25 acts (+ 4 Juniorpalooza acts) who played for free or paid to play, & entertained you for 12 hours, you raised it to another level… except Skonk .

Evan, Davey, Rob and Sol for their long day of set up, pack down and ensuring the sound was perfect.

Studio 11b for the loan of their GEAR.

The many photo and videographers who sometimes out numbered the crowd. Ryan Greenwood THOMAS VINCENT MCCARTHY | PHOTOGRAHER Jason Дваит Спиделхакир Sunshine-souled Visionary 🌞🧘‍♂️🌕 and more!

StellaVision for documenting the losers with her Loserbooth.

Ashley Mckinley for his raffle distortion pedal donation ‘The Trine’. Won by Mike H, much deserved after years of coming to TMS shows and spending all his money on koha and merch.

♧°•ᏁᎥᏒᏉᏗᏁᏗ•°♧ and Edward Gains for this years poster and shirt design.

Sicula for feeding everyone.

Ryan Greenwood , Katrina Rose , Ōkahukura Studio for staging the first Juniorpalooza which raised $253 and contributed incredibly to the Loserpalooza total above. But more importantly gave and gives a safe space for those under 18 to experience live music.

Brian Wafer postering legend!

Thank you to anyone i might have missed!

Today at TOTARA STREET we come together again for another massive day of Rock and Roll... Set times below. Details on the events page. Your Enabler Presents raising funds for a great cause. All proceeds go to LIFELINE.

This years Loserpalooza timetable is in..

Threat.Meet.Protocol and Growndownz are shunted down from the top of the bill to an ignominious double starter slot due to audience apathy, an inability to write a new set list, and wanting to be home before everyone else plays.

King Fish and Everything is Farked, compete for who can finish their set quick enough to get to the bar for first drinks.

Pug Men, Beatnik Staffs, Cat Face, Meet Me At The Cemetary and HYROKKEN engage in a battle for the “Who was that? They weren’t too bad actually” title.

Eddie and the Dreamers, not too early/not too late in order to drag the Shannon’s away from the bar.

Dead Simple would have been earlier but they had to repossess your car. Sorry about that.

Pipeline Punks and Velouria - your under 18 headliners before we kick all the kids out and can finally let loose with out having to be on our best behaviour while their legal guardians were around.

SIX TWOS, Dead Empire , Carrion Bride, Hemordroid and talismernz trade blows for the “I think they were better when I saw them at Loserpalooza the year before” and the “sh*t they got old” cup.

Wince get the nicest possible allocation for travelling all the way from Wellington to play for free, without actually subjecting anyone to them on the main stage.

Shane Duncan and False Waltons in the actual headline slots at 10 and 1030pm before everyone succumbs to their poor life choices and extremely long day of live music and start leaving en mass.

I’m saving This Is How We Die until a time where I can get away from the merch table to see Evans face when he tries to make sense of their tech rider and the 6 bass amps they want to use.

Skonk.

It’s only fair to put Seemore Skinner on last as Everdts back from all those falls can’t hold out much longer…

Loserpalooza 15th August 2026. Totara Street. 12 hours from 12pm. 2 stages. 25 bands. Koha/donation entry but please be kind (at least $20) as all proceeds go to Lifeline Aotearoa to aid in their efforts with su***de awareness and prevention. Under 18’s welcome with their legal guardian but must leave at 7pm sorry.
