It’s been a mixed bag for Froth & Fury Fest this week, with organisers confirming the event will return to the Adelaide Showground in 2027 but won’t be making the trek to Perth again.
With a new motto of “Fan Made – Fan Owned – Fan Proud”, Froth & Fury will take over the Adelaide Showground on Saturday 30 January. Sign up for news and pre-sale access here.
Sadly, those in Perth won’t get a second edition of the festival. Organisers released a statement citing crowd numbers as the main reason for the festival not going ahead next week, which you can read in full below.
“Unfortunately we have made the difficult decision that FROTH & FURY PERTH will not be going ahead in 2027.
“This is not the outcome we wanted. After an incredible day in Perth, we genuinely hoped to return and build on what was started. The support, energy and response from the WA music community meant a huge amount to us, and we are truly sorry that we cannot bring the festival back in 2027.
“As an independent, fan-made and fan-owned festival, every decision we make has to protect the long-term future of Froth & Fury. While the Perth event itself was amazing and everyone there had an incredible day, we simply did not reach the turnout numbers required to make the event viable for us moving forward. Combined with the rising costs involved in delivering a festival of this scale in WA, it is unfortunately too great a financial risk for us to take on again at this stage — even though this has been an incredibly hard decision to make.
“We also want to give a huge thank you to Brad and the Soundworks Direct crew for their massive effort, belief and commitment in helping bring Froth & Fury to the West. Their support, passion and hard work played a huge part in making the Perth event happen, and we are incredibly grateful for everything they put into it.
“To everyone who bought a ticket, came out, played, worked, shared a post, backed us, or helped make the Perth event happen — thank you. We are genuinely grateful for the first chapter we were able to create together.
“For Perth, we hope this is not the end of the story — just a pause until we can return.
“The Adelaide edition of Froth & Fury will continue, with the 2027 date to be announced very soon.”
