The Hunter Valley's Thrashville announces set times & winners from Regional Battles

Set amongst the bushland confines of Dashville, at Lower Belford in the Hunter Valley, Thrashville is ready to return at the darkest time of year, Saturday 27th June 2026. An incredible one day explosion of punk, rock, metal and all in between, lead by American punk pioneers FEAR, who will travel to Australia for the first time (and perhaps their last time?) in their fifty-year career.

The festival announces playing times along with four regional emerging acts, Hope Held Hostage, None For One, Gusset Rats and Wyndfall, who were each winners of the very successful Regional Battles Concert Series, held in Dubbo, Canberra, Port Kembla, and Lismore across April and May. A live music initiative supported by the Australian Government's Revive Live program.

‍

After an incredible winter edition for the long-running festival in 2025, it’s all systems go for Thrashville’s firey return in 2026, with the four-stage music and lifestyle event well on track to deliver the goods of an amazing musical feast for anyone inquisitive enough to consider the vigour of ‘slightly heavier’.

‍

Attendees can expect a huge day of live music across four stages, accompanied by open fire cooking, pro-skateboarding displays, roaming performers, a walk-in tattoo parlour, fire performances, select stalls and a whole bunch of live art displays.

The full line up & playing times are below:

FEAR (USA) | Disentomb | The Bennies

Dregg | Hybrid Nightmares | Turtle Skull
