Life's A Beach 2026: the metalcore festival in Melbourne, Australia
Life's A Beach is a festival dedicated to melodic metalcore and modern extreme music. Held at Riviera Beach Club in Melbourne, this annual gathering brings together 8 artists from the Australian and international alternative metal scene for a day of concerts by the sea, mixing mosh pits and beach atmosphere in a unique contrast.
The 2026 edition features a top-tier metalcore and deathcore lineup. Among the headliners: WE CAME AS ROMANS, American electronicore pioneers, Polaris, Australian metalcore icons, and Thy Art Is Murder in brutal deathcore.
The musical palette explores modern heavy metal frontiers with melodic easycore, alternative rock, and progressive metalcore. Caskets, Ocean Sleeper, and Reliqa bring the local touch to this celebration of melodic extreme music, between devastating breakdowns and catchy clean vocals.
On February 14, 2026, Melbourne will celebrate metalcore by the sea. An alternative and brutal Valentine's Day. Check the lineup and book your tickets.
