LOUD FEST is back for the third time in June, and what better way to ensure another sell out for the festival than by getting two of Australia's hottest heavy acts to headline. With three shows spread between Sydney and Melbourne including a massive lineup in both cities, it's sure to be the biggest LOUD FEST yet.


The main headliner, House Vs Hurricane are currently recording their new forthcoming album, "Crooked Teeth" which will see its release on June 29th via UNFD. These shows will be their first shows since acquiring new frontman Dan Casey. With the first single from Crooked Teeth due in early May, the band plans to have at least two new songs out by the time LOUD FEST comes around.
