Melbourne Popfest ’26

Location: Coburg RSL, 323 Sydney Rd, Coburg. VIC. 

The Lost and Lonesome Recording Co are excited to present a weekend festival that celebrates Melbourne’s undying love for underground indie pop music – wistful melodies, scratchy guitar racket, cheap Casios, unabashed jingle-jangle and way too much tambourine!

Over two big days in April, the Coburg RSL is the place to be if you long to hear some of the finest purveyors of underground pop songwriting from Naarm and surrounds. Eighteen bands at various stages in their career – some new, some less new – but all searching for that vital POP moment!

Come for a day or the whole weekend – tickets are $30 and $50, respectively. Bands will perform on the main stage inside the RSL but come along early on Saturday for the opening party in the front yard and catch a few bands playing from 2:30pm for free in the beergarden!
