UNIFIED Music Group, THE HILLS ARE ALIVE and RED HILL ENTERTAINMENT are proud to announce the hugely successful UNIFY will return in January 2018, featuring headline performances from THE AMITY AFFLICTION, PARKWAY DRIVE and ARCHITECTS as part of a 29-band line-up over two nights. The fourth instalment of Australia’s only heavy music boutique camping festival will take place over two nights from January 12 to 13 at the wonderfully green pastures of Tarwin Lower in South Gippsland, Victoria.
The festival is a uniquely Australian event that takes pride in showcasing our scenic natural surroundings as well as the incredible heavy music output our country has become renown for. In 2018, the UNIFY line-up features 22 Australian artists, including legacy sets from Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction, as well as performances by the best heavy artists the country has to offer including Hands Like Houses, Hellions, Behind Crimson Eyes, Tonight Alive, With Confidence, Cursed Earth and stacks more. Joining the crème of the Australian crop will be international heavyweights Architects (UK), Four Year Strong (US), Stick To Your Guns (US), Knocked Loose (US), Being As An Ocean (US), Knuckle Puck (US) and Roam (UK).
Parkway Drive’s seminal, gold-certified album Horizons is turning the big 1-0 in October and to celebrate the pride of Byron Bay will return to UNIFY to play a very special Horizons anniversary set.
The Amity Affliction are set to headline on Saturday night and were the main attraction at the inaugural UNIFY Gathering in 2015, so it’s a no brainer the festival asked them to come back and celebrate their 15-year anniversary.
Architects will make their UNIFY debut in 2018 and their set will be an Australian exclusive performance. Originally in the country for Groovin The Moo festival in May, Architects sold out multiple shows in each city around Australia off the back of their powerfully dark and confronting album All Our Gods Have Abandoned Us.
Hands Like Houses will return to Tarwin Lower off the back of the most successful 18 months of their career. The boys have just wrapped up their mainstage appearance at Vans Warped Tour and will be right at home on the UNIFY festival stage in 2018.
