UNIFY Gathering is already one of the biggest names on the Australian festival calendar and organisers are set to cement that reputation in 2017 with a two-night, three-day camping experience packed with heavy music.

Taking over Tarwin Meadows in Gippsland, Victoria, about a two-hour drive from Melbourne, this January, early bird tickets for UNIFY 2017 will go on sale to previous ticket holders on Friday, 3rd June and are expected to sell out.

Speaking to Hysteria, UNFD General Manager and UNIFY Gathering organiser Luke Logemann said organisers couldn’t be more excited about UNIFY 2017 and gushed about the “absolutely amazing” lineup, which will drop 22nd June.

“We have one band playing a classic album from 2008,” he said. “We have two bands reforming to play. We have three bands returning from UNIFY 15 and three bands returning from UNIFY 16. And we have seven internationals from three different countries.”

“One big thing is that we did a survey of everyone who came along in our first two years. We had more than half of the ticket buyers respond with feedback, and we’ve made changes that will directly address as much of the feedback as possible.”

Logemann promised “more toilets and shade, less dust, lots of new food options and we’ll try not to sell out of merch in the first few hours this time”. There will also be a new VIP experience available to ticket-holders.

“I’ve always been sceptical of this kinda stuff,” Logemann admitted, “but so many fans have requested those options that we decided to give it a shot. Those will be available as ticket upgrades from 29 June onwards.”

“UNIFY 2017 is where we establish this festival as an event people look forward to and trust for decades to come.” With previous lineups hosting names like Amity Affliction and Parkway Drive, UNIFY 2017 will no doubt be huge.
