While Silverback Touring play host to a huge array of rock acts – think Slayer, Machine Head, Lamb Of God, Opeth, Rob Zombie and more – the initial offering will be an all Australian and New Zealand affair.
This isn’t a surprise given there will likely be a substantial period of uncertainty as regulations change around international travel and vaccine passports.
However, currently it’s complete guesswork exactly which acts UNCAGED festival will be able to attract. The festival will be held on a single day at the Coburg Velodrome, which has become a favourite among electronic event organisers in recent years.
Head of Silverback Touring, Danny Bazzi said of the festival, “the time was right to introduce a new summer festival, one which will appeal to a wide cross section of rock fans”.
The first artist announcement is anticipated on Wednesday 22 September.
