Echo Locator Spring 'Hector the Crocodile' edition

The Echo Locator live music series presented by Holiday Maker Records brings interstate and regional artists to the Quad for a series of free and all ages concerts. 

Inspired by the process of echolocation, the four seasonal music events will investigate sonic and spatial orientations of the Quad, with each themed edition exploring a distinct local phenomenon and musical format.

Upcoming shows:

Spring 'Hector the Crocodile' edition: Saturday, 15 November 2025, 12pm - 7pm
 

The Quad will be rockin’ on Sat 15 Nov from 12-7pm with a full day of live music and DJs for the Spring ‘Hector the Crocodile’ edition of the Echo Locator series, coinciding with the return of Lismore’s Eat The Street Festival. Proudly presented by Holiday Maker, The Quad & Eat The Street.

Featuring a groundshaking selection of live dub reggae, jungle and d&b music powered by Lismore’s own Submerge System. Melbourne-based instrumental dub reggae band KONG and the Dudley Flats Rockers perform two curated sets of both originals and covers. Byron-based 420 Sound are joined by SK Simeon on the mic. Trusted Friends and Holiday Maker spin some roots on wax. And the Submerge System crew perform two massive sets on their very own soundsystem. An XL day for Lismore not to be missed! Free and all ages day festival with food & drinks available.

Following the Autumn ‘Microbat’ and Winter ‘Glowing Cross’ editions of the Echo Locator series, the Spring event honours the local legend of Hector the Crocodile - a saltwater croc who escaped from a travelling reptile circus at the 1967 Lismore Show and continued living in the Wilsons River through
the ‘60s and ‘70s, before mysteriously disappearing around the time of the 1974 floods.
