Private Function, King Parrot Lead 2025 Edition Of Thrashville Festival

Thrashville is set to return to Dashville, Lower Bedford, in the Hunter Valley, Wonnarua, NSW, this June.

With a line-up representing artists across punk, hardcore, and metal, this year’s event hosts acts including Melbourne punks Private Function, hardcore heroes King Parrot, the powerful hip-hop-meets-metal artist Mudrat, and heavy acts such as Volatile Ways, Frankenbok, Simpsons-themed act Dr Colossus, and rising folk-punk superstar Slim Krusty. You can check out the complete line-up below.

An event that celebrates punk, rock, metal, skating, live graffiti artists, and tattoos, Thrashville is described as the “slightly heavier” event that goes down at the Hunter Valley.

This year’s event is a single-day festival where live music will be hosted across four stages on Saturday, 28 June.

A handful of additional acts will be announced soon, with four winners chosen from four regional battles. Thrashville has received an overwhelming number of performer applications for this year’s events, inspiring Dashville to organise battles along the East Coast to lock in epic bands to join the Thrashville bill.

The battles will take place at heavy music venues on the following dates:
