The first lineup for next year’s Froth & Fury Fest is here! The Adelaide heavy, punk, alternative and rock festival, which is also heading to Perth for the very first time, has revealed a stacked bill headlined by Aussie metalcore beasts Polaris.
Taking place across two huge dates in summer at Perth’s HPC on Saturday 24 January and Adelaide’s Showgrounds on Saturday 31 January, Froth & Fury Fest 2026 is a heavy music fan’s wet dream.
Appearing alongside Polaris is Max Cavalera, who will be performing double duty with groove metal legends Soulfly and his industrial thrash project Nailbomb, the latter performing in Australia for the first time.
Byron Bay behemoths In Hearts Wake, Cali punkers Lagwagon, black metal hero Abbath Doom Occulta, who will play a set of powerful tracks with his band Immortal, and Ocean Sleeper have also been announced as part of the first lineup.
Still not satisfied? How about sets from Frenzal Rhomb, Archspire, Aborted, Private Function, Terminal Sleep and Zuko!
Adelaide fans are also getting a little bonus from the organisers, with Canadian hardcore greats Comeback Kid and US metalcore meets hip hop act Gridiron playing exclusively in the City of Churches.
Pre-sale tickets are available on Monday 21 July at 9am local time, with general on-sale commencing Wednesday 23 July at 9am local time. Sign up for pre-sale access via frothandfuryfest.com.

Froth & Fury Fest has become one of the country's biggest festivals, with the addition of a Perth date highlighting the growth of the festival.
Partnering with the team at Soundworks Touring, organisers can’t wait 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.
Froth & Fury Fest 2026 takes place at Perth HPC in Mount Claremont on Saturday 24 January and at Adelaide Showgrounds in Adelaide on Saturday 31 January. For ticketing information, visit frothandfuryfest.com.
