Get excited alternative rock fans – the timetables are here for New Bloom Fest which will be rampaging down the east coast of Australia in March.

The festival is set to showcase eshest up-and-coming artists in the realms of alt rock, post-hardcore, shoegaze, grunge, punk and beyond, all across the Labour Day long weekend (for most parts of Australia).

UK emo-grunge heroes Basement are headlining the festival alongside American counterparts Balance and Composure and Callifornian punks Drain. The festival will also play host to the first performances on Australian soil for Sweet Pill and Glitterer, and there’ll be a bunch of local bands on the bill as well.

Tickets are selling fast in Sydney and the Melbourne leg is almost sold out. Here’s everything you need to know for your city!
