From the same team who produce UNIFY Gathering comes a new touring regional festival series, Unify Off The Record, that will visit five cities with a revolving line-up.
To take place late May, early June and travelling to Mackay, Adelaide, Wollongong, Hobart and Frankston, Unify Off The Record will feature headline performances from Northlane (VIC), Thy Art Is Murder (NSW), Thornhill (QLD), Teenage Joans (SA) and Alpha Wolf (TAS), with American deathcore band Fit For An Autopsy to play the Wollongong and Frankston legs.Each event's line-up will be fleshed out with a range of acts playing either one or two dates including Make Them Suffer, In Hearts Wake, Ocean Grove, Yours Truly, Void Of Vision, RedHook and more.
Pop-up stores, artist signings and workshops before and after doors will also be part of each event to share as of UNIFY on the road as is possible.
"When we made the decision to skip the 2023 Gathering, we knew right away that we wanted to do something to fill the space left," Red Hill Entertainment says.
"We've always been so grateful to all the people who make the annual pilgrimage to Gippsland from all over Australia, and sometimes the world.
"So this year we thought, 'why not take the show to the people and try to replicate the vibe, ethos and excitement of UNIFY on a different scale'.
"UNIFY is obviously a music festival, but it's also always been an opportunity to bring our heavy music loving community together to share our experiences and learn.
"We're taking that ethos with us on the Off The Record road trip, working alongside APRA AMCOS and Support Act to host some real-talk sessions on everything from songwriting to mental health, and providing exclusive insight into some of the Off The Record artists' own stories.
"You'll also be able to hit up the travelling pop-up merch shop, selling our exclusive UNIFY Off The Record merch and other hard-to-find goodies."
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 22 March.
