English post hard-core/alternative rock outfit Basement have announced a sting of sideshows from their headline festival run with New Bloom Festival. This tour will kick off with great excitement in Perth at Magnet House on the 28th of February.

Basement will then head to Adelaide on Saturday 1 March, Melbourne on Sunday 2 March, Wollongong on Wednesday 5 March, and Newcastle on Thursday 6 March.

With a seamless symmetry between 90s emo and grunge, channelled through a contemporary lens, Suffolk five-piece BASEMENT have journeyed through four studio albums, multiple periods of hiatus, headlined Outbreak Fest 2024 upon their return, ticked off an appearance at the iconic When We Were Young Festival and sold out the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (3,000 tickets) within minutes of going on sale; and all of this while also cultivating millions of streams, views and worldwide fans since forming back in 2009.

In a live setting, BASEMENT are no stranger to packed rooms full of crowd-surfers, carefully curated setlists that span fan favourites and newer cuts, and an emotive surge that both tugs at the heartstrings and demands your attention from start to an exhilarating finish. Throughout their career, BASEMENT have performed alongside Weezer, Pixies and The Story So Far, as well as at Lollapalooza, Reading and Leeds Festivals, and Riot Fest. In 2025, the group will return down under for NEW BLOOM FEST and their own Aussie headline sideshows, before supporting Knocked Loose on a UK and European run.

Following its hugely successful inaugural year in 2024, including a sold-out Melbourne event, NEW BLOOM FEST is back with a sweltering round two for 2025 in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, bringing the golden age of DIY hardcore shows and all things alternative into a modern setting.

We were there to capture all the action for Melbourne New Bloom Fest in 2024 and it was a time and a half!
