THE ALTAR DEMANDS MORE
Saturday 22 August 2026
Mansfield Tavern – Brisbane
For the third year, the gates reopen.
The veil thins.
The congregation gathers.
Necrosonic Festival returns to Mansfield Tavern on Saturday 22 August 2026 — bigger, darker and more unhinged than ever before.
What began as a bold new gathering of the heavy has become an annual ritual for those who like their music brutal, immersive and intensely forbidden.
Each year the circle widens.
Each year the offering grows.
By this, the third gathering, the altar expects something unforgettable. Something louder than last year.
30 BANDS | 3 STAGES | 12+ HOURS
INTERNATIONAL INVOCATION
From the United States, progressive death metal visionaries Rivers of Nihil descend upon the Necrosonic altar for a rare and crushing Australian appearance — joined at the summit by dual headliners Psycroptic, Tasmania’s technical death metal force who continue to dominate stages worldwide.
AUSTRALIAN HEAVYWEIGHTS UNLEASHED
Australia’s extreme metal elite assemble alongside a stacked underworld of chaos-makers, cult favourites, grind merchants, doom bringers and pit-starters — ready to turn Mansfield Tavern into sacred ground once more.
