Basement Announce Australian New Bloom Fest Headline Sideshows – Spotlight Report

In 2025 Australia will play home once again to the freshest up-and-coming artists in the scene with the return of NEW BLOOM FEST, a curated touring festival showcasing all things alt rock, post-hardcore, grunge, punk, and everything in between.
Last week we announced headline sideshows for BALANCE AND COMPOSURE, supported by GLITTERER, and DRAIN, supported by ONE STEP CLOSER; and today we’re back with more sideshow goodness, with NEW BLOOM FEST headliners BASEMENT locked and loaded for five shows ahead of the festival kicking off this March.
BASEMENT‘s headline sideshows will commence on Friday 28 February in Perth, then head to Adelaide on Saturday 1 March, Melbourne on Sunday 2 March, Wollongong on Wednesday 5 March, and Newcastle on Thursday 6 March.
