Drain (USA) NZ Tour with One Step Closer (USA) + more

Beloved California hardcore party-starters DRAIN, supported by special guests ONE STEP CLOSER 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.

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.
