Thrashville is back for 2025 and it’s looking bigger, bolder and louder than ever.
Leading the charge are Melbourne punk legends Private Function and hardcore heavyweights King Parrot, alongside genre-smashing powerhouse MUDRAT, mosh-lords Volatile Ways, thrash titans Frankenbok, Simpsons-themed metalheads Dr Colossus, and rising folk-punk wildcard Slim Krusty.
The all-inclusive, heavy music festival will take over Dashville, Lower Belford, on Saturday, June 28th, bringing an electrifying mix of punk, metal, and rock to the heart of Wonnarua country.
This one-of-a-kind regional festival is shaking things up with a new layout and four stages, giving both legendary and up-and-coming riff lords maximum room to tear it up.
With 25 acts already locked in and more still to come, Thrashville 2025 is set to be an all-out sonic rampage.
And that’s just the beginning—more acts will be added, including four winners from the upcoming Thrashville Regional Battles (Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, Sydney).
With a flood of applications from heavy bands across the country, Thrashville is giving four emerging acts a shot at the main stage. Teaming up with some of the best heavy venues on the East Coast, these battle gigs are guaranteed to be chaotic, loud, and full of surprises.

It’s been a big day of announcements for King Parrot.
Fresh off a massive 35-date European tour that saw them play stadiums like Wembley in London with Knotfest 2024 buddies Pantera and Power Trip, the band has just dropped their new single, “Punish The Runt”.
The track is a brutal taste of their long-awaited album, A Young Person’s Guide to King Parrot, set for release on June 6th.
To celebrate, they’re hitting the road for a huge Australian tour, with more dates to be announced soon. More info can be found on their website.
