Alesana and Confession headline Loud Fest 2013, touring nationally for the first time since its inception.
Founded in 2011 as a standalone Sydney festival, Loud Fest grew to include Melbourne in 2012. In 2013, the tour will expand even further, with shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Previous years' line-ups have seen the likes of Dream On Dreamer, Northlane, Buried In Verona, In Hearts Wake and House Vs Hurricane get on board.
North Carolina rockers Alesana will headline Sydney's Loud Fest this year, leaving Melbourne five-pice Confession — who began the year by touring with the Soundwave Festival — to step up for the remainder of the dates.
Also joining the line-up in Sydney and Brisbane are US party death metal rockers Attila; rounding off the line-up on all shows will be homegrown artists Hand Of Mercy, Saviour, Feed Her To The Sharks, For All Eternity, Hellions, Storm The Sky, Stories, The Sweet Apes and Elegist.
