Marc Rebillet to Headline the JAMBALOO Music Prize Celebration in Dallas

Marc Rebillet Returns to Dallas for JAMBALOO

After eight years since his debut performance in a parking lot in Deep Ellum, Dallas native Marc Rebillet is set to return and headline the JAMBALOO Music Prize Celebration on June 6. Taking place at the historic Longhorn Ballroom, this event is much more than a concert; it’s a celebration of local music and a commitment to the community. All ticket sales will benefit Amplified Minds and the Advisory Board for Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, emphasizing the importance of arts education in shaping young musicians.

A Journey to Stardom

Marc Rebillet, also known as "Loop Daddy," has become a global sensation with over 2.4 million subscribers on YouTube and more than 127 million views across his videos. His unique blend of improvisational music and engaging performances has led him to significant festivals like Coachella, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza, alongside sold-out shows at iconic venues such as Red Rocks and Radio City Music Hall.

His journey began on November 4, 2017, at a festival in Deep Ellum, and just three months later, his Thursday night residency at The Common Table helped catapult him into the spotlight, leading to a vibrant international touring career.

Celebrating Local Talent

The JAMBALOO Music Prize not only showcases Rebillet’s remarkable return but also highlights the local music scene. Unlike a typical concert stop, this event focuses on awarding the best full-length album from a Dallas-Fort Worth artist over the past year. The prize is a collaborative effort, combining public votes with insights from a panel of industry experts, ensuring a fair and credible winner selection. The $20,000 cash prize and the opportunity for recording with Grammy-winning producer Tre Nagella will empower local artists significantly.

During the celebration, three finalists will perform, and the winner will be announced right before Rebillet's set, creating an electric atmosphere filled with anticipation and community spirit.

Community Investment

As Joe Morrison, Attorney at Mullen Mullen Injury Law and co-founder of JAMBALOO, stated, this event embodies the spirit of community investment in the music ecosystem. Reinforcing the value of local schools, venues, and artists, Rebillet's homecoming symbolizes a vital connection between the artist and his roots. By actively participating in this event and donating the proceeds, Rebillet embodies the ethos of giving back to the environment that nurtured his talent.

Building on Festival Success

This announcement comes on the heels of JAMBALOO's successful festival in February 2026, which saw an impressive attendance growth and contributed significantly to the local economy. In its second year, the festival attracted over 8,200 attendees and generated an estimated $5 million in economic impact, alongside crucial funding for local arts.

Since its inception in 2025, JAMBALOO has evolved from a simple festival concept into a robust initiative supporting local artists, venues, and educational programs. The June 6 celebration is part of this ongoing evolution, aimed at creating a thriving music community in North Texas.

Conclusion

Mark your calendars for June 6, and get ready to experience a night of incredible music while supporting local talents and arts education. This event isn't just a concert; it's a step towards solidifying the future of the Dallas music scene. Join us in celebrating creativity, community, and the return of one of Dallas's brightest stars, Marc Rebillet.
