Loullapalooza

More than 30 DJs from Miami and beyond take over two stages at Fooq’s and Lion’s Den for a locally rooted micro-festival led by Maayan Nidam and Cesar Merveille. The celebration begins Saturday, August 8 in Little River, with hourlong back-to-back sets unfolding across the outdoor patio and upstairs club. The 21+ event also marks Lou Flores’ birthday.

Launched in 2019 as a birthday gathering at the Alley at Fuse Studio, Loullapalooza returned in 2024 as a four-stage event at Mad Radio. This year’s edition pairs its expansive local lineup with Berlin-based headliners Nidam and Merveille, both known for fluid, groove-driven selections spanning minimal house, techno and underground dance music.

The lineup includes:

• Maayan Nidam and Cesar Merveille
• Lou Flores, Log_In, Blame, San Dee and Markem
• Atom Yard, Audiotox, Bandito Chico, Bia and Coastal Communication
• Cristobal On, Differ, Demenz, Jafa and Jose Matos
• Lazardi, Melanie Maddox, Metzl, Milaq and Over
• Renzo, Retronika, Richy, Sics, Solkey, TMD, Toro and Valvee

Fooq’s combines an outdoor dining patio and DJ booth with Lion’s Den, an intimate vinyl lounge equipped with a Danley Sound Labs system. Food, cocktails and wine will be available throughout the event.
