Download Festival Australia 2018 Sideshows: The Full List

Grab an umbrella Aussies, because we’ve just been hit with a fkn monsoon of Download Festival Australia 2018 sideshows.

After NOFX announced a bunch of side-loads (that probably won’t catch on but let’s wait and see) earlier today, a whole heap of other acts on Download’s inaugural down under bill are now getting in on the action.

Prophets Of Rage are playing a pair of all-ages headliners in Sydney and Brisbane, Good Charlotte are teaming up with Neck Deep, Falling In Reverse, ISSUES and Chase Atlantic and taking a monster five band bill to those two cities as well, while Neck Deep will be bringing some love to Adelaide with their own headlining show there.

Sydney and Brissie are also getting some action on the side from Amon Amarth with Sabaton, as well as The Story So Far and Nails both headlining their own shows.

For all you Melbournians, soz but no sideshows for you. You get the full festival, don’t be greedy.

More sideshows are tipped to be announced next week, including some from riff cruchers Arch Enemy, so stay tuned for that.
