It’s quickly becoming one of the most anticipated rock festivals on the Aussie calendar, and now, Hotter Than Hell has confirmed its 2020 return.
Almost two years ago today, the Aussie music world was treated to word of a new festival featuring some of the finest names in local music.
Featuring bands such as Eskimo Joe, Grinspoon, Jebediah, Killing Heidi, The Superjesus, 28 Days, Regurgitator, and Frenzal Rhomb, the Hotter Than Hell festival toured around the country with a somewhat changing lineup, dishing up ferocious sets full of nostalgia-fuelled rock action at every turn.
While folks might have thought this was just a one-off, things began to heat up once again last year, when Magic Dirt, Spiderbait, Shihad, Jebediah, Killing Heidi, Bodyjar, 28 Days, and Area-7 all teamed up for a blistering second helping earlier this year.
Now, while fans are only now managing to recover from the furious moshing that went on during these shows, Hotter Than Hell has revealed the dates for its third year, raising the excitement for what is bound to be another banner year.
Kicking off on Saturday, February 1st at the Coopers Alehouse in Gepps Cross, South Australia, the action continues for the next four weeks, hitting up Mt. Evelyn in Victoria, Townsville in Queensland, and wrapping things up in Dunsborough, Western Australia.
Eager fans can sign up now for pre-sale tickets, which go on sale from 6am local time on Tuesday, October 15th, before the general public can get their hands on them from 7am on Thursday, October 17th.
The only question that remains now is just who is on the lineup! Considering the exceptional array of bands featured in previous years, you already know it’s going to be a big one, with organisers revealing it will feature not one, but two international headliners.
Whatever the case, we won’t have long to wait before we find out, with the official lineup dropping on Thursday, October 10th!
