FLESHFEST 2026 A GATHERING OF THE DAMNED
Local Australian Hardcore Metal | No Mercy | No Compromise
If hardcore heavy music is your therapy and local metal is your lifeblood, this is your night.
We promise you a full-contact collision of the local Australian heavy metal / hardcore underground no gimmicks, no tribute bullshit, no mainstream metal. Just riffs, rage, and sweat dripping from the ceiling.

FEATURING

• PRODUCT OF NEGLECT Sunshine Coast's Filthiest SLAM. 'nough said!
• GRIP DOWN  Hardcore touring from Newcastle and they're bringing their own brand of pit-ready energy.
• FALSE FRONT  Sunshine Coast metallic hardcore masters. Tight, aggressive, and unapologetic!
• INSECT  Unrelenting Neanderthal Hardcore Heavy Hitters bringing the power.

This is not a nostalgia night! This is not background music! 
This is pure, local, blood-and-bone hardcore heavy metal for those who still believe gigs should hurt a little!
This ones for the real ones. The lifers. The pit veterans. The metalheads and hardcore fans who still believe heavy music is meant to be dangerous, loud, and earned.

Join us to celebrate the Australian hardcore underground raw, loud, and played by bands who still mean every riff. No egos. No posturing. Just solid, hard-hitting metal!!!

Expect big riffs, heads nodding in unison, and pits that are intense but respectful the way heavy shows are meant to be. Whether youre right up front or posted at the back soaking it all in, this is about supporting local bands and sharing the noise.

If you love:

• Heavy music played up close

• Local Australian metal and hardcore scenes

• Venues that feel personal, loud, and alive

Then FLESHFEST 2026 is where you want to be.

Grab your ticket, bring your mates, and be part of the gathering.
Local hardcore metal. One room. One night.
