This year focusing on showcasing the best Australia has to offer the festival spans across July 2nd at the Manning Bar (18+) and July 3rd at the Factory Theatre (All Ages). Not wanting to keep anyone in suspense, this years line up is announced in full with the following bands playing.

So the lineup for Hardcore 2010 just got announced, and it looks like a lot of fun. I haven’t been since 2006, I went the two years before that, and they were all a lot of fun. The recent ones haven’t interested me that much. I like it how there’s not some big international band, and that it’s not in a massive venue either.

Also great that Canberra’s own I EXIST will be playing. As well as that you have the great combination of Mindsnare/Toe To Toe. It’s quite the lineup.
