Rasta Lion Wear is hosting a family-friendly reggae festival this October. The Pull Up Selector Festival will be a celebration of the Rasta Music Culture, including everything from live music performances to drum workshops. Kicking off at 11am on the 29th of October at The Thorn in Thornbury, Victoria the tunes and activities will run right through to the early hours of the 30th, finishing up at 2.30am.

All facets of the Reggae music culture will be on display for everyone to experience and immerse themselves in including a massive pit housing 20 DJs, 4 live bands, Dancers, Workshops, and African Drumming. Headliners Ce’cile (from Jamaica) and Dynamq (from Africa) are the big draw cards for the event, with both artists having a strong following here in Australia.

We guarantee refunds of 90% of your ticket in this scenario. The 10% COVID-19 cancellation fee is retained to help cover all the planning and investment that goes into making Pull up selector happen.
