WE’VE TURNED THE VOLUME UP AGAIN!

One of the biggest names in modern heavy music, KNOCKED LOOSE, will headline FROTH & FURY FEST 2027 when we return to the Adelaide Showground on Saturday, 30 January 2027.

And they’re bringing one hell of a second wave with them.

Joining the bill are Florida death metal icons DEICIDE, hardcore institution TERROR, Bay Area thrash legends DEATH ANGEL delivering a special ACT III set, Canadian favourites CANCER BATS and one of the UK’s most talked-about rising heavy bands, HERIOT.

The Australian underground is coming in hard too, with Adelaide’s STRESSED, Newcastle wrecking crew FEEL THE PAIN, Sydney punk force ARSE, cult Adelaide favourites GUANTANAMO BAY CITY ROLLERS and blackened death metallers OATH OF DAMNATION all joining the party.

WAVE TWO!

At the top of it all are KNOCKED LOOSE.

From packed clubs to some of the biggest festival stages in the world, the Kentucky heavyweights have become one of the defining heavy bands of their generation without losing any of the intensity that got them there.

Now they’re coming to Froth & Fury.

Expect crushing riffs, violent breakdowns and absolute chaos when Knocked Loose take over the Adelaide Showground for one of the biggest headline moments in the festival’s history.

They’ll be joined by genuine death metal royalty in DEICIDE, more than two decades of hardcore fury from TERROR, and Bay Area thrash legends DEATH ANGEL, who will deliver a special set celebrating their landmark 1990 album ACT III.

CANCER BATS return with their unmistakable collision of punk, hardcore and heavy rock, while Bristol’s HERIOT bring their dense and punishing mix of industrial metalcore, groove, atmosphere and extreme heaviness.

Then there’s the local and Australian underground.

STRESSED. FEEL THE PAIN. ARSE. GUANTANAMO BAY CITY ROLLERS. OATH OF DAMNATION.

Five very different bands, all bringing their own kind of noise to an already massive day.

And that’s only the new announcement.
