Hullabaloo (rave)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hullabaloo (or "Hulla") was a rave promotions company based in Toronto, Canada. Hullabaloo was started in 1997 by DJ Anabolic Frolic as a way to promote Happy Hardcore music and the kind of event that got back to the roots of what a rave was. Each Hullabaloo party was highlighted by one of the most colorful and dedicated fanbases in rave history attended by patrons from around the planet.
Hullabaloo held a total of 44 events in 8 years, attended by over 100,000 people. Many of the events sold out in advance.
The first Hullabaloo party was "Something Good", held on June 21, 1997. The rave was hosted at The SpacE! (aka "The E! Space") at 28 Gunns Rd., Toronto. Party headliner, DJ Hixxy from England, was held up by customs at Pearson International Airport and was unable to perform.
Tickets for the final event, All Good Things, on July 9, 2005 sold out in a record setting 8 days, 5 months in advance (Tickets went on sale February 2005). 17 of the events were promoted without a flyer, relying solely on word of mouth of its diehard fans.
