Adelaide’s powerhouse phenomenon LOADED BILLY is storming into the 2025 Adelaide Fringe Festival this March with their explosive show ‘HEAVY ARTILLERY’ presented by WizzBang Media. Experience arena-sized anthems and earth-shaking energy as Loaded Billy brings their signature sound to the Gov Gibson Stage, promising an unforgettable live performance.
Fresh from the studio and riding high on their critically acclaimed ‘Legend’ album released through Wormholedeath Records – the album has dominated music platforms with over 100K Spotify streams.
“We are so excited to get back out there playing live because we are very much a live band. We feed off our fans and the energy we create when playing our songs with our arena rock soundscape. As we say, ‘it’s toe tapping, head banging riff driven pleasure,” the band declares.
2024 has been nothing short of legendary for Loaded Billy, marking their triumphant signing to Wormholedeath Records and garnering international acclaim. Their masterful blend of hard rock earned them the #12 spot on Vianocturna2000’s ‘International’ Best Hard Rock album 2024, commanding the Top 10 charts six times worldwide, and capturing the attention of over 100 media outlets across Australia and beyond. Their electrifying performances at RawFest and Churches of Steel have only fuelled their unstoppable momentum.
Channelling the raw power of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and invoking the spirit of titans like early Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Budgie, Loaded Billy delivers an auditory experience that industry insiders have dubbed ‘insanely talented,’ ‘stadium rock,’ ‘unique,’ and ‘an emotional experience.’ This world-class band promises to make their Fringe debut one for the history books.
Joining this hard-hitting lineup are THE SEXELS, Adelaide’s answer to high-voltage rock ‘n’ roll. Led by the magnetic Laken Angelik, their sound is a perfect storm of Amyl & The Sniffers meets Black Sabbath. Having shared stages with legends like Airbourne, Killing Heidi, and The Meanies, The Sexels are ready to ignite The Gov with their supercharged performance that will send shockwaves through the crowd.
Solidifying this unstoppable lineup is TERRA AXIS – raw, unapologetic, and electrifying – the grunge rock powerhouse you can’t ignore. Forged in the fires of 90’s rock, with their crushing riffs and fearless songwriting, these Adelaide rebels redefine the boundaries of hard rock. From the gravelly depths of Craig Whales’ vocals to Jeremy Prowse’s razor-sharp lead guitar, they tackle society’s darkest scandals with a powerful conviction that demands your attention. Religion, politics, fascism – nothing is off-limits. This isn’t just a band; it’s a musical revolution waiting to detonate.
Witness the evolution of Adelaide’s music scene at this unmissable Fringe Festival event.
