[News] CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF DESTROY ALL LINES

20 shows to celebrate 20 Years!

Established in 2003, from humble beginnings Destroy All Lines has grown to become one of Australia’s largest and most trusted concert and festival promoters. Specialists in rock, punk and metal that we grew up listening to, but ever expanding. We are a small team of music lovers.

Over the years we’ve been very lucky to work with artists we love including:

The Offspring, Parkway Drive, American Football, The Pogues, Deftones, Anberlin, Happy Mondays, The Used, Northlane, Trivium, Millencolin, Primal Scream, Knocked Loose, Slowly Slowly, Bring Me The Horizon, One OK Rock, Karnivool, Slipknot, Turnstile, Polaris, Babymetal, Descendents and so many more.

We created Good Things Festival and partnered with Slipknot to bring Knotfest to Australia. Through this time we’ve remained 100% independent and Australian owned in a world of large corporate competitors.

To celebrate this milestone we’ve put together 20 Shows for 20 Years showcasing artists we love and invite you all to share in the celebrations.

We could not have done all this without you. Without further adieu, we present to you…
