Blacken Forever is a nationwide celebration of music and solidarity, uniting Australia’s heavy metal community to Save The Black Wreath. From the biggest cities to the heart of the Dead Centre, concerts will erupt simultaneously across the country. Over thirty of Australia’s heaviest bands will take the stage across six cities on the final day of the crowdfunding campaign, creating a national wall of noise and determination.

It would be a tragedy for The Tote to not support the wonderful crew at Blacken who were inspired by our very own "Save The Tote" campaign, and unfortunately we didn't have the date available when they wanted us to be involved. So we thought fuck it lets host ours the night before and call it BLACKEN FOREVER EVE.

AND we've partnered with Morbid Mondays (our good friends at the old bar) on this line-up curation that will showcase some of the finest acts across genres to represent the true music underground

The concept is the same - 100% of proceeds (including booking fees) donated to the cause and straight into the pozible account. PAY WHAT YOU FEEL, $5, $10, $15, $20 and so on...

SEEYA THERE

Blacken Forever proves this movement is bigger than the Dead Centre of Australia. The Black Wreath is a heavy metal institution, and this community will stand together and refuse to let it go without a fight!
