New Bloom Festival has finalised the running times for its second run, set to take place across the long weekend next month. UK band Basement will headline each night with a 50-minute set, marking their first shows in Australia since 2019. All of the international acts performing will also be playing their own shows around the festival – the details for which can all be found below.
The mini-festival will also feature local acts for each city rounding out the bill. For the first show at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Saturday, March 8th, this will include Primitive Blast, The Others, Colourblind, Deadshowws, Wifecult and Masochist performing in the Hall’s adjacent sister venue, The Outpost. The following day in Sydney, at the UNSW Roundhouse, the line-up will include Secret World, Gloam and Feel The Pain. Lastly, on the public holiday Monday at The Timberyard in Melbourne, early-bird attendees will see sets from Horsepower, Wayside and Crawling.
