Break The Ice 2013 final announcement

With the final weekend passes sell to disappear in the next few hours, the final line up for Break The Ice is here. Replacing the unfortunate loss of Rotting Out after their tour cancellation, Melbourne heavyweights Warbrain, local newcomers Free World and Canberra's most exciting Machina Genova.

Warbrain come onto the line up fresh from recording their debut album and a split 7" with US band Minus, a true institution in Melbourne, the band will use the show to warm up for their May tour with the UK's Brutality Will Prevail and Thorns. Free World have worked hard to make a name for themselves in Melbourne, playing hard on a variety of different line ups and in support of bands like Comeback Kid, Terror and Defeater. You may have not heard of Machina Genova yet, but after Break The Ice you won't forget them. Spawned from the hotbed of noise that is Canberra, their frantic metallic hardcore fury is best viewed live and up close. Come and see them spit rage at Break The Ice 2013.

Tickets for the fest are still available with single day passes for the Saturday and Sunday starting to roll out the door.

Also featured at Break The Ice will be a separate room full of goodies to discover. We will have food trucks, mountains of merch, distros, canteen and a very special Bake Down The Walls vegan baking stall raising money for Meg Gallagher in her first against Breast Cancer, a cause Broken Hive is proud to stand behind. Stay tuned in the lead up to the event for specific details.
