With the return of NEW BLOOM FEST in 2025, Australia is set to play home once again to the freshest up-and-coming artists in the realms of alt-rock, post-hardcore, shoegaze, grunge, punk and beyond, bringing the golden age of DIY hardcore shows and all things alternative into a modern setting.
Following its hugely successful inaugural year in 2024, including a sold-out Melbourne event, NEW BLOOM FEST is back with a sweltering round two for 2025 in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. And today, NEW BLOOM FEST is pleased to announce an array of Australian talent joining proceedings in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne next year, alongside a stacked international card of BASEMENT, BALANCE AND COMPOSURE, DRAIN, ONE STEP CLOSER, SWEET PILL and GLITTERER.
Brisbane will get to experience PRIMITIVE BLAST, THE OTHERS, COLOURBLIND, DEADSHOWWS, WIFECULT and MASOCHIST at Fortitude Music Hall on Saturday, March 8. Sydney’s NEW BLOOM FEST will also feature SECRET WORLD, GLOAM and FEEL THE PAIN at Roundhouse on Sunday, March 9. And Melbourne’s NEW BLOOM FEST will get HORSEPOWER, WAYSIDE and CRAWLING live in action next year at The Timberyard on Monday, March 10.
