Legion Music Fest have commissioned an experienced, world class production team to handle the planning of the Festival.



The event partners that we already have on board are:  Oztix, Global Event Management, Unbreakable International, Love Police, Jaden Social and Bulletproof/Riot Entertainment.

The Legion HQ team now consists of professionals that have handled ticketing, staging, event production, merchandise, tour management, artist liaison, marketing and publicity for large scale events and festivals both here in Australia and all over the world.






The following artists support LEGION MUSIC FEST.  These acts are committed to perform if you pledge your support and, together, we reach our goal.

While we have a majority of the line up committed in principle, given time constraints of the holiday's, most artist's agents and management are unavailable to finalise contracts. We are still in the process of confirming a number of interested national and international acts.

The supporters list below will be updated regularly.

- How much do tickets for LEGION MUSIC FEST cost?

Once we reach out goal, Oztix will being selling a limited number of general admission tickets from $140. Pledge packages that include discounted tickets start from $125.

- How does the pledge thing work?

When you pledge to a package that supports LEGION MUSIC FEST you will need to enter your credit card details BUT nothing will be charged to your card until the campaign goal is reached. No goal, no festival, no payment, no risk. You can pledge multiple times.

- What's the line up?

Take a look at the section at the bottom of this page that lists all of the bands that have committed to being a part of LEGION MUSIC FEST if you guys get behind it and we reach our goal. Because this has all come together so quickly, we're still in the process of locking in a lot of the bands so we will update the line up daily.

- Why should I pledge if I don't know the whole line up?

We know it’s really tough for you guys to get behind something new after everything that’s happened. Especially because this is such a new way of doing things and we're asking you to pledge your support before the full line up is announced.  The thing is, we believe that we’re pledging to something much bigger than a festival. We’re pledging to become founding members of a community that won’t take no for an answer. A community that will shape LEGION MUSIC FEST for the future and, more importantly, the future of the hard music scene in Australia in general. We have the opportunity to do something that’s never been done before and show bands and music markets all over the world that we have strength in numbers and that the fans can and will mobilise to protect the industry that we love. 

- Is there an age restriction? 

No. LEGION MUSIC FEST is an all ages event. Under 15’s are required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The challenges involved in establishing a sustainable music festival in Australia are many and varied and we are committed to working on these issues to help this event work long term. 

Predominantly due to Australia's distance away from countries where many touring artists reside, costs such as artist fees and international travel costs involved in attracting acts to join a festival lineup can really blowout. Additionally, internal artist costs such as airfares, accommodation and freight can also add up to a huge amount with a large touring party. 

It's important we are realistic and limit the size of these events to facilitate sustainablitity. This will help us keep ticket prices down and reduce major production costs. 

We will be limiting capacities for the 2017 east cost shows at a total of 10,000 people each show.

We know that there’s definitely a chance that this thing could grow into something pretty big in future years, but we want to make sure that we stay realistic and grow slowly.

The last thing we want to do is bite off more than we can chew and end up by making you line up for hours at the toilets and bars and piss you off by having too many bands play at the same time.

We pledge that we will always keep an awesome festival experience top of mind with everything we do .
