Monolith launched on to the Australian festival circuit in 2022 to incredible success. Scenestr remarked, “If I’m asked if the festival was good – that’d be a big hell yes! Monolith’s Brisbane leg was a crushing success” whilst Wall of Sound commented that “Leaving Monolith on that high, felt like leaving a church service, where you were praising at the altar of prog-rock/metal”.
Monolith is thrilled to announce its triumphant return, bringing an unbeatable curation of international names and Australian favourites to venues around the country this November. The festival features Coheed & Cambria as headliners, with Periphery, Leprous, Intervals, Novelists and Silver Fang rounding out the bill. Alongside the incredible line-up will be workshops, panels, market stalls and DJ’s to further enhance the festival experience for Australian prog fans.
Each Saturday, HEAVY will profile one of the bands playing to bring you up to speed on what to expect, with today featuring Coheed & Cambria.
