New Bloom Fest 2025
Bringing the golden age of DIY hardcore shows and all things alternative into a modern setting, in 2025 Australia will play home once again to the return of NEW BLOOM FEST, a curated touring festival showcasing all things alt rock, post-hardcore, grunge, punk, and everything in between in Brisbane, Sydney + Melbourne.
Following its hugely successful inaugural year in 2024, including a sold out Melbourne event, NEW BLOOM FEST is back with a sweltering round two for 2025 in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, headlined by British brooding rock heroes BASEMENT, and joined by hypnotic American icons BALANCE AND COMPOSURE, California hardcore punks DRAIN, melodic indie heavy hitters ONE STEP CLOSER and the debut Australian performances for innovative emo mavericks SWEET PILL, and Washington post-hardcore bohemians GLITTERER.
With a seamless symmetry between 90s emo and grunge, channeled through a contemporary lens, Suffolk five-piece BASEMENT have journeyed through four studio albums, multiple periods of hiatus, headlining Outbreak Fest 2024 upon their return, a recent appearance at the iconic When We Were Young Festival + selling out the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (3,000 tickets) within minutes of going on-sale and cultivating millions of streams, views and worldwide fans since forming back in 2009. Evolving from serpentine pop punk leanings on their debut album, 2011's I Wish I Could Stay Here, BASEMENT have gone on to knit beauty and brooding into honest, raw lyricism, big-room guitar soundscapes, and narcotic melodics, witnessed most ardently on their breakout singles including Covet, generating over 140 million streams of Spotify alone and counting, as well as Are You The One, Whole, Pine and Oversized.
With a torrent of talent locked in for 2025, get set to once again experience the latest and greatest talent from the alternative and punk scene - be sure to secure your spot for NEW BLOOM FEST and we'll see you in the pit!
