After years of being neglected from tours which only hit the East Coast of Australia, RADelaide's best day out Froth & Fury Festival is set to expand to Perth in 2026.
The once boutique festival is having some serious upgrades as they expand step foot into Western Australia - and signalling a cheeky middle finger at the East Coast in the process with their vast array of genres - featuring everything from metal, to punk, core and grotesque heavy heavys - alongside food stalls and beer galore; it's a hell of a day out and offers more for the metal palate than any other medium-to-large scale festival down under.

Our Predictions
Previous Froth & Fury lineups featured an all star cast of heavy metal, punk, core and more. With that in mind, here's our list of who we think could be playing...
Cannibal Corpse - They haven't been here in over a decade and would pull even the craziest of metal fans out of mosh retirement for their return.
King Parrot - Kings of grindcore could well and truly play up the top of the ladder after dominating stages with Pantera this past year.
Bad Religion - Nothing screams punk like the godfathers who haven't been down under in some time.
Polaris - Last year's F&F was headlined by Northlane and Thy Art Is Murder... with the lads being absent from Park Waves, could they be up the ranks on this lineup instead?
Emperor // Ihsahn - Usually found touring Australia in the middle of the year, they could pop over for a huge celebration of black metal madness in a festival setting which we're yet to see since the Direct Underground Festival days of 2018.
Behemoth - This is the kind of festival Nergal and co. could headline - or do an exclusive appearance at like Fear Factory last year.
Archspire - The technical death metal wizards were last in Australia in 2023 (they were also one of the last bands to play the zoo in Brisbane) and are well overdue for a comeback.
South East Desert Metal - The Australian Aboriginal metal act are putting the NT on the map and have already shared the stage with the likes of Ghost, Karnivool, Shihad and Cosmic Psychos to name a few. They're be a killer addition.
Orpheus Omega - The under-appreciated metal heroes from Melbourne have been growing in popularity for years, but festivals tend to avoid placing them on their lineups for some ungodly reason...
Nicholas Cage Fighter - They've got THE actual Nicholas Cage's seal of approval, so that surely earns them a spot on every music festival lineup ever.
Aborted - With new album Vault Of Horrors well over a year old, they should get their butts back down under and play some songs from it, shouldn't they!?
Redhook and The Last Martyr - Both bands have played before, but both are ready to step up with their new material.
Vilify - This hard/metal/core hybrid act from Newcastle would blow everyone away.
Silent Knight - Perth power metal giants would pull a crowd in both hometown and Adelaide.
Make Them Suffer - Much like Polaris, they've yet to play F&F and are Perth locals, so you know, they'd bring a crowd.
Totally Unicorn - The mathcore party starters have new music and need to play it live for the people.
Valhalore - Aussie folk metal goodness wouldn't feel out of place on a F&F lineup!
Terminal Sleep -Hardcore king hitters and newly signed to Nuclear Blast Records. Give 'em a crack!
Feed Her To The Sharks - They staged a comeback to open for Killswitch Engage in 2024... can they bounce back again please?
Flaming Wrekage - From deep within Australia's metal underground, they'd be silly not to be included.
Astrodeath - Same goes for this dynamic duo!
Hammers - Hard rock heavyweights from the Gold Coast who more than deserve a spot.
Annihilist - Newly reunited and already performing shows with the likes of Thy Art Is Murder. It's time for their step up to a bigger stage following the release of killer album Reform.
Black Rheno - They've just announced a big ass Australian tour in August, but nothing else lined up after and into 2026.
Lo! - Any festival with these blokes is asking for a good time.
Patient Sixty-Seven - Give the memecore kings from Perth a chance to shine on a festival stage in their own backyard.
Swordfish Trombone - These RADelaide mathcore/metalhead locals have played once before and have only gotten better since. Give them another crack and get them over to Perth, stat!
DIS//CORD - The prog-core upcomers deserve a shot to show why Australia is sleeping on one of the best kept secrets from South Australia!
SAME PAINS - Speaking of best kept secrets, SAME PAINS are dominating North QLD and should be ready to spread their wings in RADelaide and Perth on this lineup!
Life Pilot - The Adelaide Core kings are not only killing it with their rise in the local scene, but they've released some of their best music to DATE in recent times.
Witchgrinder -The local Melbournians have been cutting their teeth in the scene for well over a decade and surely now is their time to get on Frothy!
