Disruptive Productions is proud to present FROTH & FURY FEST 2027, returning to Adelaide Showground on January 30 for its biggest, boldest and most dangerously stacked edition yet. A full-scale summer collision of metal, punk, hardcore, heavy rock and dark synth, all wrapped in Froth & Fury’s unique blend of festival culture, community and chaos.
Leading the first announcement for FROTH & FURY FEST 2027, Maryland riff kings CLUTCH return to Adelaide for the first time since Soundwave 2014. One of heavy rock’s most enduring live bands, Clutch bring towering riffs, blues-fuelled groove, sharp-witted swagger and the road-tested power of a band that has spent decades commanding stages around the world.
Australia’s own ALPHA WOLF bring homegrown heaviness to the top end of the lineup, charging into Froth & Fury with wrecking-ball dynamics, off-kilter hooks and crowd-crushing intensity, while Switzerland’s PALEFACE SWISS arrive with a brutal collision of beatdown force, deathcore aggression and breakdowns built to tear the floor apart. When the main stage lights drop, CARPENTER BRUT will close The Compound with a full-scale dark synthrave drenched in horror, metal, cinema and pulsing electronic chaos.
A twisted tribute to the Big Day Out’s iconic Boiler Room, the set will shift the festival from daylight destruction into full-blown nightfall madness. French visionary IGORRR will bring one of heavy music’s most unpredictable live experiences, colliding extreme metal, breakcore, baroque drama, operatic intensity and electronic chaos into something brutal, beautiful and completely their own. A double shot of Canadian intensity comes from PROPAGANDHI and COUNTERPARTS. Propagandhi bring razor-sharp politics, technical punk firepower and decades of uncompromising fury, while Counterparts deliver melodic hardcore urgency, emotional weight and crushing modern heaviness.
Few bands have bridged punk, metal and heavy rock with the authority of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. From their hardcore beginnings to the Southern-fried sludge, blues-soaked weight and colossal groove that followed, C.O.C. arrive armed with crushing classics, road-worn swagger and more than four decades of heavy rock power.
For the death metal faithful, DEATH TO ALL celebrate the music of Death and the enduring legacy of Chuck Schuldiner, performed by musicians who helped shape the sound, spirit and evolution of extreme metal. Legendary drummer GENE HOGLAN then pulls double duty with DARK ANGEL, one of thrash metal’s most influential forces, bringing barbed-wire riffs, whirlwind rhythms and pure devastation to Froth & Fury. Australian alternative favourites 28 DAYS bring their unmistakable mix of party-punk, rap-rock and mosh-pit chaos, while Adelaide death-thrash veterans TRUTH CORRODED make their long-awaited return for their first live show in seven years.
Also returning are Melbourne extremists THE BERZERKER, back on stage after 17 years with their ferocious collision of industrial death metal, grindcore and hardcore techno. The first announcement is rounded out by Denver heavyweights FOX LAKE, French dark electronic artist SIERRA VEINS, Melbourne alt-rock outfit WAYSIDE, Western Australian punks RATSALAD and Adelaide post-hardcore favourites and winners of Best Heavy Act at the Music SA Awards, RACCOON CITY.
