Set amongst the lush bushland confines of Dashville, in the Hunter Valley, Thrashville returns, ready for a one day explosion of punk, rock, metal and all in between, on the darkest, firiest day of the year, Saturday 27th June 2026.
Today the festival announces the first chunk of the line up, with a fine selection of bands from right across Australia, with lots of Dashville debutants on board, plus one very special international guest… The special international guest is a American hardcore punk pioneers FEAR, who for the first time ever in their fifty year career, are heading to Australia!
FEAR (USA) | Disentomb | The Bennies
Dregg | Hybrid Nightmares | Turtle Skull
Good Sniff | Private Wives | Couch Wizard | Catpiss
Purple Disturbance | Pyrefly | Whisperhead | Shacked!
Happy Fuckin Family | Immortal Within | I Hate People
Thrashville 2026 Early Bird tickets sold out in a couple of days, and with today’s incredibly unique and heavy line up announce, it’s all positive signs that 2026 will be a big year for this fiercely inclusive regional festival, which holds it’s own as an outdoor music event like no other.
Rolling off the success of the 2025 festival and the trialled four stage layout, this years event will be in most cases, exactly the same, with a few minor tweaks at best, but mostly just the return of all the good stuff. Saddle up to expect a huge day of live music, accompanied by some evolving awesome stuff like pro-skateboarding displays, roaming performers, tattoo parlour, select stalls and live art displays.
