Australia’s metalcore heavyweights POLARIS are stepping up to the throne as this year’s headliners — and they’re coming in swinging. With their signature mix of emotional firepower and razor-sharp heaviness, backed by chart-topping albums and sold-out tours across the globe, Polaris stand at the forefront of a new generation of Australian heavy music. Expect nothing less than a jaw-dropping, explosive final set to close the fest in style.
JUMPDAFROTHUP! it’s a Max Cavalera double-stack of pure, unfiltered heaviness, bringing with him, decades of riff warfare and not one, but two of his sonic weapons to Froth & Fury Fest 2026! Groove metal titans SOULFLY continue to captivate audiences with their savage anthems and tribal rhythms and are poised to unleash a soul shattering set of pure groove metal fire. And for the first time on Aussie soil... NAILBOMB!, the cult industrial-thrash project originally formed in 1993, has been resurrected for a new era. Point Blank remains a benchmark in the genre, and their live performances are expected to deliver the same unbridled intensity. The Tribe is coming! Miss this, and you're wasting away!
Byron Bay’s heavy-hitting powerhouse IN HEARTS WAKE are taking the Froth & Fury stage for the first time— and they’re bringing the storm with them. Known for their fierce live shows, earth-shaking breakdowns, and messages that hit as hard as the music, this is a band that doesn’t just perform — they ignite.
California Skate-punk lifers LAGWAGON are rolling in with decades of melodic intensity, razor-sharp hooks, and setlists stacked with fan-picked bangers. Whether you're screaming the words or flying over the barricade, this will be Lagwagon at full throttle.
A storm of frost and fire is coming: black metal legend ABBATH DOOM OCCULTA returns to Australian soil, unleashing a frostbitten fury with a blistering set of classic IMMORTAL anthems at Froth & Fury Fest 2026. Hail the return to the Raven Realms!
OCEAN SLEEPER are one of the most explosive live acts in the country — and they’re returning to the Froth & Fury stage with even more firepower, get ready for riffs, roars, and one hell of a throwdown — Ocean Sleeper don’t hold back, and neither should you.
Aussie punk icons and professional party-starters FRENZAL RHOMB are finally bringing their chaos to Froth & Fury! Expect flying cans, shout-along anthems, and bodies bouncing in every direction — because you’ve never had so much fun until you’ve seen Frenzal live.
Get ready to witness the absolute upper limit of human musical ability - Canada’s ARCHSPIRE have catapulted themselves to the top of the tech-death food chain, gathering legions of fans, critical acclaim, and a reputation for an unrelenting jaw-dropping live shows that will melt your face off! Twister is optional! and If your appetite for the extreme still isn’t full, ABORTED are here to push it way past the limit. Belgium’s masters of blastbeats and brutality deliver breakneck death-grind with surgical precision and zero mercy. Gutturals, speed, carnage — no survivors.
PRIVATE FUNCTION – The most unpredictable, unhinged band in Australia? Probably. Private Function are part punk frenzy, part sideshow madness — and they’re bringing their full-blown rock ’n’ roll riot to Froth & Fury! Melbourne’s TERMINAL SLEEP are the real deal — no gimmicks, no gloss, just pure, crushing destruction, they’ll tear through like a wrecking ball with something to prove, And if that’s not enough, breakout Brisbane force ZUKO are crashing onto the Froth & Fury stage with raw, unrelenting metalcore / hardcore intensity — rising fast and hitting harder every time.
And finally, a frothy BONUS brewed just for our loyal ADELAIDE FROTH FAMILY (Sorry Perth) - Canadian Hardcore legends COMEBACK KID, swinging harder than ever, delivering fists-in-the-air melodic hardcore that turns every venue into a battlefield. At Froth & Fury, they’ll unleash a high-energy set celebrating the 20th anniversary of their classic Wake the Dead. And US powerhouse GRIDIRON, bringing a razor-sharp fusion of hardcore, metalcore and hip-hop-inspired swagger with enough adrenaline to ignite any crowd.
