Massive talent set for Unify
AFTER two massively successful years, Unify will return to Tarwin Lower in January 2017 with its biggest line up yet.
Headlining performances are Alexisonfire, Violent Soho and Northlane as part of a 26 band line up over two huge nights.
In 2015, Unify famously sold out its 3000 ticket allocation in just three hours, while its second year sold out all 5000 well before the event kicked off.
The festival is a uniquely Australian event that takes pride in showcasing South Gippsland’s beautiful natural surroundings as well as incredible musical output and fandom for which the country has become renowned.
The line up includes 20 Australian artists including performances from recent breakthrough successes such as Thy Art Is Murder and Luca Brasi, as well as legacy sets from House Vs Hurricane and The Getaway Plan.
Joining the absolute best heavy bands Australia has to offer will be international heavyweights Every Time I Die, Moose Blood, Counterparts and The Dirty Nil.
Headliner Alexisonfire (from Canada) is coming together for a special Australian performance – the first Australian appearance since their anticipated sold out 10th anniversary in 2012.
One of the biggest bands to come out of Canada’s underground music scene, Alexisonfire released four hugely successful albums, amassing a legion of fans the world over.
Multi award winners in their native Canada, Alexisonfire topped sales charts in North America, and achieved a top 20 ARIA chart debut in Australia with 2009’s Old Crows/Young Cardinals.
They performed on the main stage of legendary festivals like United Kingdom’s Reading and Leeds, Riot Fest and took over native Toronto for a six night stay, boasting over 9000 tickets sold, and sold out tours in Canada, United States, United Kingdom Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Japan.
Violent Soho will make a Unify debut off the back of a massive year.
After the breakthrough success of their gold accredited third record Hungry Ghost, 2016 has been the biggest year of Violent Soho’s career.
In March, its latest album WACO debuted at number one on the ARIA chart and was Triple J feature album.
They toured with DZ Deathrays and Dune Rats selling every single ticket in huge theatres across Australia.
They also appeared at this year’s sold out Splendour in the Grass and will be heading overseas for a North American headline tour before landing Tarwin Lower for Unify 2017.
Northlane will make a triumphant return to Tarwin Lower.
Since its inaugural Unify appearance in 2017, Northlane released its ARIA number one album Node, scored Triple J feature album, won the ARIA award for best hard rock/heavy metal album, dropped a surprise collaboration EP called Equinox with In Hearts Wake and slayed massive stages around Australia, United Kingdom and Europe.
The band will be back in Europe for a run of shows with The Amity Affliction before trekking down to Unify.
Rounding out the line up is an all Australian who’s who featuring Thy Art Is Murder, Luca Brasi, Storm The Sky, Trophy Eyes, King Parrot, Ocean Grove, Saviour, Columbus, Polaris, The Brave, Bare Bones, Justice For the Damned, This City, and Ocean Sleeper.

Just like previous events, Unify will be held in between the Tarwin recreation reserve and football ground
Thanks to the support of the local community, the 2017 show is now a two night affair, which means more artists, more amenities and more amazing memories for artists and punters.
With the continued support from the community behind the event and the incredible enthusiasm shown by all of the amazing artists involved, everything is set for Unify to be the perfect start to 2017.
Big year: Unify 2017 promises to top the previous two events with its biggest line up yet.
