NEGATIVE APPROACH – AUSTRALIAN TOUR
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.
IT’S NOT A PHASE VII
This October 23rd, Adelaide’s finest take over the Rhino Room for a night of the biggest pop punk and emo anthems ever written.
Featuring members of Alt., Akira Slide, Wolf & Chain, Relapse, Drown This Fury and more, this stacked lineup will be bringing the music of Punk Goes Pop, Twenty One Pilots, No Doubt/Gwen Stefani, and Rise Against to life.
If you’ve ever screamed these songs at the top of your lungs, this is your night.
Tickets are on sale now, and this one will sell out. It’s Not A Phase.
