Annual metal festival UNIFY has announced its return in January 2017. Presented by Unified, The Hills Are Alive and Red Hill Entertainment. UNIFY 2016 has by all accounts already been praised as one of the most memorable weekends of the year.

The third instalment of Australia’s only heavy music boutique camping festival will see the event expand and will now take place over two nights from January 13 to 15. The full lineup will be revealed live via Facebook on Wednesday June 22. More details to follow.

Presented by triple j, Hysteria Mag, and UNFD, early bird tickets for UNIFY 2017 will be available to previous ticket holders and will go on sale Friday, June 3. Only 2000 tickets will be released at this time, and they will be available exclusively on 24hundred.net. Last year’s early bird allocation sold out in under three hours so fans will need to get in quick before they fly out the door.

UNIFY 2017

A RELAXED TWO HOUR DRIVE FROM MELBOURNE

UNIFY is a two-day boutique camping and music gathering set in the beautiful picturesque pastures of South Gippsland, a relaxed two-hour drive from Melbourne. The site is set across a secluded recreation reserve, surrounded by greenery and a 10-minute drive from the ocean. UNIFY has been a smashing success since its inception with UNIFY 2015 famously selling out of its 3000 ticket allocation in just three hours, while its second year also sold out of all 5000 tickets before the event kicked off. Billed as Australia’s first and now only camping festival for heavy music, UNIFY have been praised for its well-planned site and extra attention paid to entertaining punters over the weekend.

Our concept, as always, is to create a community driven event of punters across the punk, hardcore and metal world, with a lineup that showcases the quality and diversity of our heavy music culture and previous years’ headliners The Amity Affliction, Parkway Drive, Northlane, In Hearts Wake and Tonight Alive all exemplify this. The UNIFY site includes a camping area, full stage and production setup, BYO and Licensed areas and a punter friendly atmosphere.

2017 will be even more special with some exceptional international bands joining the best heavy music artists Australia has to offer.

“All throughout the site there was a genuine buzz of excitement and “love thy neighbour” attitude, which made for one of the best festival atmospheres in recent memory.” – FasterLouder

“The second-coming of Unify was exceptionally well run. With two consecutive success stories, a strong Unify 2017 is a safe bet.” – Tone Deaf

“UNIFY Gathering exceeded all our wildest expectations and can rightly slot in as Australia’s resident premier heavy festival.” – Blunt Mag

“It’s refreshing to go to a music festival that is simply about nothing more than a bunch of mates getting together and listening to their favourite bands.” – Music Feeds
