Tickets / Registration

O come, creatures of the night!

Bear witness to BLACK PLANET: A Celebration of Australian Dark Music.

Descending for the first time as a full-spectrum gathering of darkness, Black Planet hosts 3 stages across two iconic venues: The Bendigo Hotel & Nighthawks. Built for devotees of sonic extremity and shadow culture, this inaugural edition transforms the night into a living cathedral of sound, atmosphere, and chaos.

The night will be separated into 3 spaces:

The Ossuary (Bendi Main Room) - A shrine to brutality and all things heavy

The Void (Bendi Upstairs) - A chamber devoted to noise, ambient, drone and experimental

The Black Hearts Lodge (Nighthawks) - A sanctuary of goth, darkwave, post-punk and nocturnal romance

Headlining Black Planet 2026 is THE AMENTA - One of metal's most uncategorizable acts, THE AMENTA have been synthesising the ugliest aspects of death, black, and noise into a unique maelstrom for over 25 years. Well known across the world for their intense live shows, THE AMENTA combine speed, anger, and weird sound with smoke and strobes to create a brutal, overwhelming experience.

Joining them across the 3 stages are: Mammon’s Throne, Hybrid Nightmares, Victoria K, Küntsquäd, Bentham’s Head, Knife, Npcede, Živa, Inaugural, Chiffon Magnifique, Blood In The Champagne, Dystropolis, Palliative, Blood of a Pomegranate, Military Position, Anocht, AnnaBortionist, Serene Ailment, Angellis Taliuu, and Koolooz.

Presale Ticket Price (excluding booking fee): $65 early bird, $75 pre-sale
