AMPED UP 2026 Saturday, October 24th | 2PM 'til Late Brewtown, Upper Hutt.

New Zealand’s loudest night of mean as rock & metal mayhem is locked and loaded. Join us here at Brewtown for AMPED UP 2026, featuring SIX of NZ’s heaviest hitters!

DEVILSKIN Headline this epic line-up, delivering precision, power, and the searing vocals of Jennie Skulander. VILLAINY Hard-hitting, hook-driven rock with an alternative edge—big riffs, soaring vocals, and stadium-sized energy. TADPOLE They’ve re-emerged with purpose, sounding sharper, heavier and more certain of who they are than ever before. HEAD LIKE A HOLE High-octane Wellington rock legends, hitting the stage with their raw, chaotic energy and unapologetically outrageous live shows. WRITTEN BY WOLVES Unleashing cinematic, genre-bending rock—blending huge anthems, electronic textures, and explosive energy into a powerful modern sound. THE BOONDOCKS High-energy riff-rock duo, delivering punchy riffs, raw attitude, and crowd-moving anthems. Loud, gritty, and built for sweaty, full-throttle live shows.

Six bands. One stage. No second chances.

As always, Brewtown will be serving up heaps of unbeatable beverage options from our festival bars ft. craft beer, bourbon, wine and non-alcs. And we’ve got a line-up of serious feeds from the best local foodies.
