Iconic pop-punk vocals of depth, energy and intention, backed by euphoric indie songwriting and a heavy rock sound that intoxicates. Boy Hero draws focus to a personal and globally valuable cause this coming December 21st, by headlining the iconic Jeff Rudd’s Holidaypalooza: A benefit show for cancer relief and research.
Featuring three iconic indie breakthrough bands, this Minneapolis exclusive promises an unmistakable end of year celebration, showcasing the best of the indie alternative scene, while raising money for a cause that unequivocally affects every single one of us in some way shape or form.
Returning to Zhora Darling just over a year on from his unforgettable show with VVakefield, Boy Hero is a renowned post-hardcore and anime fusing act, whose videos, collabs and live clips have reached hundreds of thousands of listeners. The LA artist has gone from strength to strength for both his studio contributions and live appearances, and his voice is second to none in terms of identity, power, nuance, and feeling.
Virginia’s Basement have also made waves for their energy and original songwriting, and Sonic Sea Turtles complete the line-up with an equally engaging and energised live show.
On the night there will be raffles for exclusive items and gift cards, but more importantly, Jeff Rudd’s Holidaypalooza will deliver one of the very best shows you’ll see this year, and Tickets are just $22.80.

Jeff Rudd’s HOLIDAYPALOOZA is a benefit show for cancer relief and research. The date of the show coincides with the last time Boy Hero’s father saw him perform live, before passing away from pancreatic cancer.
The cause is close to his heart, to say the very least, and as such, this will no doubt be one of the most impassioned and powerful evenings of live music, togetherness, escapism, and deeply human reflection, from the entire year. Not to be missed.
