Special guests Heartline will bring their technical prowess and emotive songwriting to the stage, while the supporting lineup showcases the depth of talent in Melbourne’s heavy music community. From The Ascended’s progressive metalcore to Arkángel’s raw intensity, the festival promises to highlight the diversity within the scene.
The addition of Rise From Ashes, The Nameless, and Nightmarsh rounds out a bill that spans the spectrum of contemporary heavy music, from atmospheric post-hardcore to djent-influenced metalcore. Each act has been chosen to complement rather than replicate the others, creating a dynamic flow throughout the afternoon and evening.
For those looking to continue the celebration, DJ Haylz will take over the decks for an afterparty set mixing classic heavy tracks with contemporary bangers, ensuring the energy remains high well into the night.
