Holopalooza is an annual DIY indie music festival that takes place in Phoenix, Arizona during the month of March. It was created by Richard Nihil, Doug Porter, and Matt Gerber.
The festival is intentionally genre-diverse and uses multiple stages with staggered performance times so the audience can catch every act. Each year features a completely new lineup. There are no headliners, no artist hierarchy, and no returning legacy acts.
All money collected at the door goes directly to the artists and is split equally. The organizers take 0%. Attendees are encouraged to buy merch, tip performers, share photos and videos, and tag the artists.
Holopalooza is designed to be artist-first and to make all performers feel welcome and equal.
