What better way to celebrate Oktoberfest?
Lagerfest is back with a vengeance. The swashbuckling music and beer festival has given fans a first look at what’s to come on this year’s lineup and has announced dates for this November in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne.
Set to headline the upcoming event is none other than the Swedish death metal menaces The Halo Effect. It’ll be the band’s first time ever touring in Australia and they’re not planning on holding back.

Founded by former members of In Flames and Dark Tranquillity, the band came together during the Covid-19 pandemic and dropped their debut album, Days of the Lost, last year. They’ve quickly gained an avid following for their intricate melodic sound.
They’ll be joined by the German symphonic metal group Beyond The Black as well as the New Zealand metal four-piece Devilskin, fronted by the brutal lead vocalist Jennie Skulander.
As usual, the legendary Lagerstein will be leading the charge, bringing their pirate prowess to the Lagerfest stage for the sixth year in a row. Acting as our hosts for the day, they’ll keep the mood right and the taps flowing.
More artists are still expected to be added to the impressive lineup. The festival will be also running a competition where fans can compete for the glory that is the Lagerfest Cup – don’t ask us what that involves. Lagerfest 2023 tickets are on sale now.
