Froth & Fury 2026 felt less like a standard music festival and more like a fully immersive experience — one that balanced heavy music with spectacle, nostalgia, and community in equal measure.

Sunday night at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre was electric, with fans buzzing in anticipation for The Wombats. Before the headliners took the stage, two stellar openers set the tone for the night.

On Saturday, June 7, 2025, Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide was the place of nostalgia as Australian rock band Kisschasy performed their album Hymns for the Nonbeliever in full. This tour celebrates the album's first-ever vinyl pressing, 18 years after its original release.

On April 5, 2025, Slowly Slowly took the stage in Adelaide for a night that was nothing short of electrifying. Fresh off the back of their European tour, the Melbourne-based indie-rock band wasted no time getting into the groove of their Australian leg of the tour, jumping straight off the plane and onto the stage. Their energy and enthusiasm were infectious, proving they were ready to bring their A-game despite the hectic tour schedule. The band delivered an unforgettable performance at Hindley Street Music Hall, showcasing their signature blend of raw emotion, compelling lyrics, and infectious energy that kept the crowd on their feet from start to finish.

“Left on Seen” is Adelaide’s Queer pop punk pioneers redefining the stage. In Adelaide’s pop punk scene, they are a force with their energetic tunes and unapologetic embrace of queerness and neurodivergence. With a penchant for glitter, unconventional storytelling, and theatrical flair, this two-piece band defies all norms. ‘Left on seen’ brings a boisterous and cheeky yet energetic vibe to their performance. Their ADHD- infused energy manifests in a riot of make-up and glitter. With unfiltered authenticity and unpredictability “Left on seen” had a few technical difficulties with Ashley’s earpiece malfunctioning, the guitarists wireless not working and the drummer's symbols taking an unexpected fall, the band were true to their nature and handled each hurdle with grace with a little help from fellow bands playing. Josh from ‘those who dream’ helping out with lending some equipment.

Review from the Gov

Nocturnal animals are not your typical 3-piece alternative rock band. Nay-nay they are 3 Guys who all change instrument between them. Oh, and did I mention that they are skeletons!!!! These guys spend ours getting themselves ready for a show, with their jumpsuits and make up that form the iconic look that they are known for. Their stage set up is just as impressive, with skeletons stuffed seagull beautiful flowers and a huge backdrop of them. These guys spend as much time presenting the band as a whole as they do working on their music. The energy they put in to every show is amazing. With this one being extra special as they released their new song SFOS (So Full Of Shit) release on the 20th of November. There were jokes, a personal dance and of course they played their new song SFOS.  SFOS is a big F**K you to the EX and about moving on with life without them.
