After five straight years of sold-out devastation, Melbourne Dethfest returns in 2027 with its most colossal edition yet. Australia’s premier extreme metal festival will descend upon The Croxton, Thornbury for the first time, transforming the venue into a two-stage, all-day celebration of everything heavy, brutal and uncompromising.
Leading the charge are none other than Swedish death metal titans BLOODBATH, making their long-awaited return to Australia to headline an absolutely monstrous lineup. With three international artists set to appear alongside the country’s finest extreme metal acts, Melbourne Dethfest 2027 promises the biggest lineup, biggest production and biggest day of underground metal the festival has ever assembled.
