Marrapalooza 4 is shaping up to be an intense and memorable day for fans of punk and hardcore music. Taking place on Sunday, 7th June 2026, the event is a collaborative effort between Little Rocket Records, NECC, and Pouzza. The festivities will be held at The Old Coal Yard, an intimate 140-capacity venue that promises to create a close-knit and high-energy atmosphere for everyone in attendance.

The festival stage holds a special significance, as it is dedicated to Joseph Ray Hodgson. Known as "The Stormy Petrel," Hodgson was a local hero celebrated for his immense bravery in saving lives from drowning in the North Sea, often braving winter storms to search for distressed ships from the Sunderland pier. By naming the stage after him, the event pays a poignant tribute to his legacy of courage and dedication to his community.

Attendees can look forward to a powerful line-up of bands throughout the day, showcasing a vibrant mix of hardcore and punk talent. The confirmed artists set to perform on the Joseph Ray Hodgson stage include Tearjerker, The Murderburgers, and the hard-hitting sound of Yur Mum. Fans will also be treated to sets by Goodbye Blue Monday, Dead Beat At Dawn, Back Teeth, Dossers, and Feeble Strength, ensuring that the day is packed with non-stop music from start to finish.
