Borderline Destruction Festival will feature a headline performance by international titans, the Massachusetts-born and bread Unearth. Marking their long awaited return to Australian shores after their headline tour was postponed back in 2020, they’re set to burn Max Watt’s down with an electrifying set that summarises their monstrous career so far.

They’ll be joined by Aussie grindcore heroes King Parrot, who will be right at home at their Melbourne show. Since their formation in 2010, the ARIA-nominated band have catapulted onto the scene with the release of three albums; Bite Your Head Off, Dead Set and Ugly Produce.

There’s a strong focus on Australian musicians at Borderline Destructive Festival, with Sydney’s own Complexant and the Melbourne-based metalcore outfit The Ascended will appear at all three shows. Each city has a slightly different lineup, showcasing the best in local talent from the city.

The lineup (Melbourne)

  • Unearth
  • King Parrot
  • The Ascended
  • Triple Kill
  • Complexant
  • Primitive
  • Cerment
  • Choof
  • Naugrim
