Australian iconic heavy music and dark arts festival, Dead of Winter, has announced its full 2026 lineup in preparation for the event’s triumphant return after a six year hiatus, in what will be one of the national scene days of the year.
Presenting 34 acts from all over Australian and New Zealand over multiple stages at the festival’s return home, the Mansfield Tavern in Brisbane on Saturday June 27, Dead of Winter has well and truly resurrected itself, dropping a quality mixed heavy bill featuring the likes of DZ Deathrays, Mammal, Jay and Lindsay (Frenzal Rhomb), Beanflipper, Toe to Toe, Lo!, Slim Krusty, Neptune Power Federation, Nicholas Cage Fighter and many more.
With a view to ease back into it’s position as Queensland’s longest running heavy and alternative festival, Dead of Winter has resurrected it’s legacy whilst opening the door to what comes next, showcasing a full day of heavy touring acts along with the now famed set-break freak sideshows, this year including The Space Cowboy, comedian Aaron Gocs, envelope-pushers Cult The Show and Flames of Desire.
