Dogapalooza 2017

Overview

It's the kind of music event every pet lover dreams of, and it's back for another year of cute puppies and pumping sounds. That'd be Dogapalooza, of course. It does have a rather excellent name — and that merry moniker is just the beginning.

After wowing crowds with their first two fests, the dog-friendly shenanigans are bound to get tales wagging again at Richmond's Burnley Park. Expect everything from ethical eating options — with Rice & Dice, Pookie May Coffee, Let's Waffle & Shake, Moon Dog Brewery and Bondi's Funky Pies set to serve up more than a few treats — to boutique dog product vendors.

While, you won't find the likes of Bow Wow and Snoop Dog on the bill — as on-theme as they would've been — the music lineup will get your toes tapping (and the paws of your furry best friend too) thanks to LANKS, Evangeline, Deborah Conway, Abbie Cardwell, DJ Mac Fleetwood and Kerryn Fields.

Tickets are on sale now, but Dogapalooza isn't just about a day of music-oriented bliss in the sun with your pet pooch, though. All proceeds go raised will go towards helping canines in need via Oscar's Law and Melbourne's dog rescue groups Stafford Rescue Victoria, Melbourne Animal Rescue and Puppy Tails Rescue.
