RAWKUS Live (All Ages Event)
Espy Basement (St Kilda, VIC)
Sunday, 19 July 2026 1:00 pm
Get ready for a stunning Sunday of live music as RAWKUS Live returns to the legendary Espy Basement in St Kilda on Sunday, July 19th, from 1 PM to 4 PM!
Prepare to be moved by a lineup that spans indie-pop, confessional folk-pop, garage rock revival, jangle-pop and experimental soul - five acts, five distinct worlds, one unforgettable afternoon.
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 for a sound that's equal parts nostalgic and fresh.
And rounding out the bill, group ONE - an emerging Melbourne band blending introspective songwriting with textured, contemporary arrangements. Drawing from ambient soul, alternative pop, and experimental rock, their music moves between intimacy and atmosphere.
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, vape, 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. Come down and support the next generation of musical talent!
