Your Event Line Up

Negative Approach 2026 AUS & NZ Tour
Check it out! At long last, one of the most vital bands to ever help start the movement are finally bringing their legacy-level, household hardcore anthems to Aus & NZ! Negative Approach. Yep, that one. Formed back in 81 and thought to be gone soon after, NA left us a short but permanent set of songs that still stand strong above the majority to this day. Reformed again only in 06, they pummelled their way right back through with even more fury than round 1. No cash grab reunion, no bullshit, just vital hardcore for the ages here in full force. Be there or remain irrelevant.
