FOLLOWING 2022’s epic event, after which total silence seemed to fall, Blacken Open Air is returning “for one last time” in 2025!
The news comes in the wake of a series of cryptic social media postings that began to appear on Friday last week – a link to the festival’s website that featured only a countdown. Before that, there had been no word on the future of the festival, which was last held in July 2022, headlined by Revocation, Psycroptic and Amyl and the Sniffers. Today, the announcement was revealed: Blacken Open Air will return 19 – 22 September 2025. Ticket pre-sales begin tomorrow 20 November at 9AM. No further details have yet been revealed except that the festival will showcase one international band’s Australian debut performance and “Australia’s most notorious band” will reunite to appear. Your guess is as good as ours about who that might be!
