Total 41who will be playing their very last shows in Australia as they bid farewell to their fans early next year. Playing tracks from their previous albums (and a few gems from their most recent work!), Sum 41 are determined to go out with a bang and cement their status as pop punk icons. The 80s folk punk pioneers Violent women will also take to the main stage and play classics such as “Blister in the Sun” and “Add It Up”.
Other highlights include the German electronic music sensation Electric Callboyknown for the viral hits “Hypa Hypa”, “We Got The Moves”, the Babymetal duet “RATATATA” and an insanely good cover of Cascada’s “Everytime We Touch”.

The impressive line-up will continue with other major acts such as Sleeping with sirens, The butterfly effectAnd Alpha Wolfamong many others.
LEVEL 666 is also planned for 2024. We can probably expect the return of the live karaoke band as well as DJ sets, alongside the carnivalesque Freak Show Lounge, which will be hosted by the knife-throwing, gravity-defying Captain Ruinand with an appearance of the Princess of Pain herself, Princess Tweedle Deedle.
Good things is always a great event with great music, great facilities and an overall positive vibe. It is the ultimate festival for fans of harder music in Australia and having attended every event since it launched in 2018, I can safely say it is one of my personal favourites.
