Hybrid Nightmares are thrilled to be returning to Brisbane to headline this awesome festival.” – Hybrid Nightmares

Nowhere Festival is a massive opportunity for musicians in marginalised communities, whether they be femme, Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander, POC, or LGBTQIA. While local music scenes and communities have been more or less welcoming of the broad spectrum of human experiences, the fact of the matter is that there is little-to-no elevation of a large chunk of the population, and the lack of representation causes the music scene to be homogeneously white and masculine.
Asura is proud to be a part of Nowhere, as our bassist Blazphemy is openly non-binary and bisexual, and incredibly vocal of the fact. You can expect nothing less than an unrelenting torrent of heaviness and brutality as we unleash our blend of blackened death metal.

Nowhere Festival may have been better titled as the ‘Nowhere you’d rather be’ festival, to remind a few more fence sitters to #getoutofthehouse – cos if this independent festival rocks around again in ’24, with the same calibre of bands – it’s totally the only place you’d want to be.” – Clea-marie Thorne (Scenestr)
