Showdown features 14 of Melbourne’s biggest hard-rock acts over 2 stages at the Corner on the 1st of August.

With a line up of seemingly every band to have played a support slot for Cog, Mammal or the Butterfly Effect the bill is crammed with powerful rock riffs, shredding leads, soaring vocals and intense and untamed beats.

The festival is headlined by local faves Rook, Bushido, Twelve Foot Ninja and Engine Three Seven with interstate interlopers Ink from Sydney and South Australians Quiet Child getting in on the action.
