We are thrilled to announce four special headline sideshows from beloved California hardcore party-starters DRAIN, supported by special guests ONE STEP CLOSER. These DRAIN headline shows will head to the Sunshine Coast and Hobart in Australia, and Wellington and Auckland in New Zealand this March surrounding the festival dates.
Emerging from the coastal settings of Santa Cruz in 2014, DRAIN aren't merely a band; they're a full-blown experience. With a reputation for euphoric chaos and nothing but good vibes, DRAIN are eternally here for a good time, and have also been repeatedly praised for helping to spearhead the recent renaissance of American hardcore music.
Fuelled by doses of relatability and catchiness coated by an explosive hardcore setting, DRAIN's sonic output, including their 2020 studio album California Cursed and 2023 sophomore record Living Proof, offer a larger than life experience; effortlessly blending thrash, frantic energy, and perfectly petulant hardcore, with their recent opus California Cursed embodying the idyllic yet, at times violent, waves that rise and fall on the Santa Cruz shores that the band call home.
A band built on the foundational belief that hardcore is limitless, Pennsylvania natives ONE STEP CLOSER have catapulted into scene-stealers of the alternative multiverse, armed with what Pitchfork describes as "singalong accessibility, purgative heaviness, and thoughtful craft". Cementing their place at the hardcore forefront with their sophomore album, All You Embrace, earlier this year, ONE STEP CLOSER also wowed Australian audiences back in 2023 for their debut down under performances alongside their unique and insatiable concoction of indie rock, post hardcore and shoegaze that has also seen them dazzle alongside Four Year Strong, Koyo, Real Friends and Knuckle Puck.
Following its hugely successful inaugural year in 2024, including a sold out Melbourne event, NEW BLOOM FEST is back with a sweltering round two for 2025 in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, bringing the golden age of DIY hardcore shows and all things alternative into a modern setting.
