This year the lineup extends to four Melbourne venues over four days and includes performances from over 30 acts including Boomgates, Straighjacket Nation and a special ‘Maggot Mass’ at Northcote Social Club on Melbourne Cup Day, Tuesday November 5.
It kicks off Friday November 1 at the Gasometer with the mighty Boomgates as well as New Zealand’s DHFD’s and interstate guests MOB, Multiple Man, Plastic Bags and Flesh Police. On Saturday, the party continues at the Gasometer with one of the best hardcore bands in the country: Straightjacket Nation headlining a massive 15 band lineup upstairs and downstairs as well as the country’s biggest punk/hardcore/garage record sale/swap. On Sunday the action moves to the Town Hall Hotel in North Melbourne for an afternoon show that includes Housewives, Human Grooming, Helta Skelta and Black Deity.
Following a day of rest on Monday then it all starts up again on Tuesday at Northcote Social Club when Maggot Fest teams up with the long running and successful Monday Night Mass for a special Cup Day Maggot Mass.
