The news surrounding South Australian (and soon to be Western Australian) heavy festival Froth & Fury Fest just keeps on coming.
After organisers revealed the festival would be making its debut in Perth next year, dates for the metal flavoured festival have been announced, along with a venue upgrade for the SA leg of the fest.
Froth & Furth Fest 2026 will take over Perth HPC in Mount Claremont on Saturday 24 January, before setting up shop at its new Adelaide base at the Showgrounds on Saturday 31 January.
Partnering with the team at Soundworks Touring, the crew at Froth & Fury are pumped to bring the mayhem and fun of the original Adelaide event to Western Australia.
“Froth & Fury is all about community, intensity, and a shared love of live music. Perth has an incredible scene, and we can’t wait to bring the full Froth experience west,” says festival organiser Anita Decoster.
“Western Australia has been crying out for a heavy/alternative music festival, and we’re pumped to finally bring Froth & Fury to the West,” adds Perth festival organiser Brad Wesson.
