What
would a Kiwi summer be without a touring music fest – pretty bloody average to
be honest! So, this summer sees the debut of the “Thrash, Blast and Grind
Fest”, kicking off around New Zealand February 2017.
The first announcement boasts Australia’s bastard sons of grind King Parrot as the headliners, and
alongside them are US heavyweight death/thrash giants Revocation.
Feb 12 – Wellington – Valhalla
Feb 13 – Auckland – Whammy Bar
Tickets: http://www.valhallatouring.com/ and http://www.undertheradar.co.nz/
Youngy from King Parrot
states:
“We’ve wanted to put on a great value NZ tour with awesome local and
international bands for sometime now. Thrash, Blast and Grind Fest has given us
this opportunity. Once the full line-up is announced we’ll be proud to stand
behind a new fest that is diverse, value for money and in the best venues in
Australia and NZ. A true touring fest by the bands for the fans.”
“Thrash, Blast and Grind Fest” debuts at a time when there is a distinct lack
of Australian and New Zealand heavy music festivals, and gives something back
to fans and devotees of the more extreme side of music – starting from a grass
roots level. Founded and curated by the bands who will be appearing, the
touring fest is DIY taken to the masses.
Brett from Revocation had
this to say:
“We are so excited to hit NZ for the first time, alongside King Parrot! It’s
been a long wait to shred NZ & we are especially psyched for the ‘Thrash,
Blast and Grind’ Fest tour. We look forward to bringing the new material over
& can’t wait to hang with all of you! Cheers cunt!”
With a large 2nd announcement still to be made in the coming weeks, including
national and international acts, the touring festival will also throw the stage
open to a local act in each city to open the show. This is one Summer show you
cannot miss!
Get your tickets now and prepare yourself for a summer of thrashin’, blastin’
and grindin’!
