One of Australias' hardest touring metal bands known for their high energy shows they are the excited to show everyone that they continue to raise their game. Segression have done national tours with Ozzy Osbourne Slipknot Pantera  to name a few and are known for their professionalism to the genre

 BEANFLIPPER is a cult Melbourne-based Australian hardcore/grindcore band, formed in 1993 from the remnants of Warp Spasm. Known for a chaotic, genre-bending mix of death metal, grind, and noise rock, they were staples of the 90s underground scene. After splitting in 1998, they reunited in 2025 for their 30th anniversary. Let's give them a warm welcome back Adelaide. The boys may thank us with some new material since returning from their lengthy hiatus.

Beanflipper have recently headlined events such as Dead of Winter, Necrosonic and Flippin the Bird

SPEEDBALL aka Sydney Speedball originally formed in 2000, with varying influences from Kings X to Suicidal Tendencies with a sprinkle of Municipal Waste. Actively on tour on a regular basis throughout Australia, New Zealand and Asia over the past 5 years. Playing with bands such as D.R.I (USA), The Hard-Ons (AUS), The Porkers (AUS), Acidez (Mexico), Nasty Rumours (SWE), the Frankener (JPN), Turbidity (IND). Previous releases include: On High Rotation EP, It Only Hurts When I Laugh EP, Back from the Dead EP, Smashes, Thrashes and Pits Live Album, How Will I Slam Tomorrow if I can't Mosh Today EP, Punk sounds for the Fire Grounds Compilation and Metal United Down Under Compilation.

The band has played Hammersonic Festival Indonesia supporting Lamb of God, Suicide Silence and Madball.
Punk Strike Festival in Taiwan supporting Bad/Love, District 105 and Internal Chaos.
No Name Festival in China supporting Acidez from Mexico and
Institutionalized Fest in Sydney Australia supporting Killrazer and Darker Half

 Blending Hardcore Punk Rock with Sludge Metal, Sydney duo SCUM FU have carved out their own niche style of low-tuned, frenzied fuzzed out punk in Australia's underground heavy scene.

Released in 2025 through Primitive Moth Records and recorded by the band in a mechanic workshop, 'Modern Living' pools the band's poverty and rotten attitude into a fat, grizzled and spiteful EP with garishly bright and degenerate artwork.

Scum Fu's sound reflects a strong DIY ethos, rejecting polish in favour of raw immediacy and aggression. The result is an unfiltered snapshot of frustration and dark humour in modern urban living.

 FEAR AND LOATHING are Adelaide's piece of the furniture. Founded in 1981 with a history that's too long to squeeze here and a discography/band line up, that's longer than a pirates scroll. F.A.L often show up in the punk scene, however they're not quite sure where they belong as they'd best describe themselves as &ldquo;Punk n Roll or That kid playing all by himself pushing crayons up his nose.&rdquo;

**WHO'S RUBY? - AUS TOUR**

Following the release and tour of their debut EP, Before It Was Now, which has up to over 1 million streams, Perth two-piece RubyHoo hit the road for the Who's Ruby? Aus Tour – 8 shows across 5 states this September and October.

Formed at university, Matt Preston and Brodie Cook's friendship began in the most unlikely of places: the uni cafeteria, over a lasagna Matt bought Brodie one afternoon. What started as a shared meal turned into a shared obsession with songwriting, and the pair have been writing together ever since.

The duo relocated to Melbourne to chase the music, honing their sound and building a catalogue before making the move back home to Perth – bringing their story full circle as they prepare to tour the country they grew up in.

Now, with more releases out in the world and a growing fanbase behind them, RubyHoo are ready to bring their songs to stages across Australia. Best mates, bandmates, and proof that a good lasagna can change your life – don't miss RubyHoo live in a city near you this September an

*d October.

RUBYHOO - WHO'S RUBY? TOUR

Your AFL Grand Final after-party is sorted.

Fresh off the release of their debut album, Thirteen Days are set to electrify The Ed Castle on Saturday, 26 September.

Composers Joel Winton and Maxwell Beckett started writing together towards the end of 2022. Coming from different backgrounds in music made finding common ground difficult. Eventually, they found their sound in tastful breakdowns, sweet melodies and punchy choruses Over the last few years the three have been working on their first release, the Winter Album. It was decided that with this release they wanted to see how far they could go with crafting music. Through taking their time, scraping songs and constantly
rewriting, the Winter Album was born.

Joining them we have Adelaide alt-rock outfit Larsen who are known for delivering explosive tracks bursting with overdriven guitars, punchy riffs and aching lyrics. Since 2015, Larsen have made their mark on the Australian alt-rock scene, collecting a huge back catalogue of releases charged with their distinctive brand of energetic grunge and lyrical angst.

Following a two year break from music releases, Larsen are in the midst of unveiling their sophomore album, an 11-track LP titled 'Happy Accidents'. Featuring a spectrum of sounds and influences from their collective range of music tastes, 'Happy Accidents' showcases the full breadth of song writing lessons they've learned over their decade as an active band in the Australian music scene.&rdquo;

If the bill wasn't stacked enough we have Adelaide based power trio The Unset, who have become a distinctive voice in Australia's alternative and progressive rock landscape. Fusing the dynamics of modern alt-rock with textured experimentation, the band strikes a rare balance between accessibility and artistic
depth&mdash;drawing comparisons to Oceansize, A Perfect Circle, and The Butterfly Effect.

Their reputation as an engaging live act has seen them share stages with Cog, sleepmakeswaves, Caligula's Horse, Khan and The Mark Of Cain. In 2025, a last-minute call-up to support, Karnivool cemented the band's rising profile, earning critical praise and a new wave of fans.

Three of some of the best Adelaide has to offer! The Ed Castle has you Grandfinal after party sorted, you don't want to miss this one...
