Destroy All Lines has gone above and beyond with the lineup for this year’s rock festival Monolith.
Taking place in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in early November, the 2024 edition is headlined by New York prog-rockers Coheed and Cambria who have been tapped to perform their 2005 record, Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through Madness, in its entirety.
Joining them on the bill are Washington D.C.’s Grammy-nominated metal act Periphery, who are performing in Australia for the first time since 2017, Norwegian progressive metal outfit Leprous, who will be showcasing tracks from their most recent release Melodies of Atonement, and Canadian instrumental group Intervals.
Also appearing are French metalcore behemoth Novelists, making their Australian debut at Monolith, and Australia’s own Silver Fang, who will get Melbourne and Brisbane crowds rowdy with their wild mix of goth, metalcore and electronica.
