PAKKA LOCAL 3rd Anniversary

Pakka Local marks its third anniversary with a full night of South Indian and Bollywood club music at Billboard, 170 Russell Street in the Melbourne CBD. Doors open at 9:00pm on Friday 14 August 2026 and the party runs through to 3:00am on Saturday 15 August - six hours of music across Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Bollywood sets.

The advertised A-Z line-up is Thirumali, Thudwiser, DJ Alasandra, DJ Gowtham, ALKEMY, DJ Rath, DJ Raghul, ALIENZ, DJ Sonics, Rumesh Jaya and ENDLSS. Alongside the DJ sets there is a band battle between two live bands, and the organisers say a major reveal and further surprises are lined up across the night.

Tickets are sold through Eventbrite and range from about $27 for entry up to $209 for the top package, with booking fees already included in the listed prices. The organiser's stated refund policy is no refunds. Pakka Local Events is a Melbourne-based promoter that Eventbrite flags as a Top Organizer; the ticket page is the only contact channel published. The venue is listed on the ticket page under its club-night name 'Billboard Saturdays' - it is the same room as Billboard The Venue at 170 Russell Street.
