Hullabaloo (rave)

Hullabaloo (rave)

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 fan bases 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.

Hullabaloo reached its peak in popularity in 1999 when crowds of 4000 were attending their events. The death of Allen Ho at a Hullabaloo event in 1999 resulted in a coroner's inquest and in increased scrutiny from the media and the local authorities. [http://www.sgmlaw.com/Page344.aspx] Faced with legal battles and logistical problems with venues and police, Hullabaloo was forced to cancel an event and downsize as a result.

Hullabaloo eventually found its home at The Opera House in Toronto where it stayed until it ended.

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 die-hard fans.

Hullabaloo will be returning for a reunion party, Hullabaloo: One More Group Hug, on July 14, 2007. They are also screening a movie, "Hullabaloo: A Raving Chronicle" on July 13, 2007. Tickets went on sale March 5, 2007, and were sold out as of early morning March 7, 2007. There were various ticket packages available, and all of them came with special keepsakes such as an exclusive copy of the never-released Happy 2B Hardcore: Chapter 8 CD.
