Last year it was announced that the prolific heavy music festival UNIFY Gathering would be taking a break in 2023, with organisers saying they had “made the call to take a year off.”
UNIFY has been an institution in Australia’s heavy music scene since its inception in 2015, with lineups boasting the best local and international acts in heavy metal, punk, and hardcore.
In the wake of the festival’s absence, organisers have announced UNIFY Off The Record – a series of mini-festivals that will stretch across five Australian cities, each with their own unique lineup.
You can grab your tickets from this Wednesday, March 22.
