Hotter Than Hell returns in 2024 with another monster lineup headlined by Australia’s very own Regurgitator.
The 90s and early 00s nostalgia fest has gathered an impressive bill that also includes international punk act Less Than Jake (SA and QLD only) performing their hit album Hello Rockview and frequent Aussie visitors Unwritten Law (WA and VIC only) playing their self-titled third album (also known as the Black Album) in its entirety.
But it’s not just the overseas acts who make this lineup up great, with Jebediah playing their seminal debut Slightly Oddway and Little Birdy showcasing their classic album Big Big Love.
Adalita (VIC only), The Beanies (VIC and WA only) and The Kickons (WA only) round out the 2024 edition of Hotter Than Hell.
Taking to social media to reveal the lineup, organisers commented: “Hotter Than Hell has crawled out of the depths of hell and is back to bring you some classic summer festival vibes like the good old days. For a monster 2024 edition with one stage, no clashes.”
The first leg of the festival takes place at Dunsborough Tavern in Dunsborough on Saturday, October 12. Hotter Than Hell then heads to York on Lilydale in Mt Evelyn on Saturday, October 19, Coopers Ale House in Gepps Cross on Saturday, October 26 and Kirwan Tavern in Townsville on Saturday, November 2. The final event takes place on Saturday, November 9 at Chardons Corner Hotel in Brisbane.
Tickets start from just $85, which is a bloody bargain when you consider the lineup.
Pre-sale kicks off at 11:30am local time on Monday, July 22. You can register here. General sale tickets go on sale from 11:30am local time on Wednesday, July 24.

Regurgitator are excited to get back on the road after playing a ton of shows earlier this year in support of their most recent album Invader. “We were pretty set on taking a decent break after the high-paced energy of making our latest album, Invader,” the band said in a statement. “As we rolled along over this great land and saw how much you poured your hearts into enjoying our Invasive tour performances, the Hotter Than Hell folks reached out, wanting us to continue the momentum for another run of their festival dates at the end of the year. We took a deep breath and said, ‘What the hell’… let’s keep the heat on eleven.”
Less Than Jake will already be in the country for their own tour in October but jumped at the chance to be part of Hotter Than Hell 24. “Can’t believe it’s been six years since we’ve partied with our friends down under! Way too long!” drummer Matt Yonker said.
“Australia is one of our favourite places to play. Other than just being a beautiful place to visit, I’m always amazed at how attractive the people are down there, must be the water! We also all appreciate just how on point the coffee game is. No joke, you get an A+ on coffee consistency, I’m not sure I’ve ever had bad coffee there! Aussie audiences easily hang with the rest of the world. I think they may even be a touch crazier. And that’s a compliment, I’m really looking forward to the mayhem.”
Unwritten Law was meant to tour Australia last year but had to cancel, so they’re also pumped to be added to the lineup. “With the last Hotter Than Hell being the last tour we did before the world shut down, it holds a special place in our hearts. We’re thrilled to come be a part of it again! We’ll be playing the Black album in full and that’s always been a good time.
“What’s not to love about Australia? Grab some twisties, get a pub feed, down a VB and have a surf! Honestly though, we love the people. It’s no joke that it’s our second home. We even have a full-blooded Aussie in our band now! We just feel so accepted in the culture, it’s a crazy thing to have that kind of connection to someplace that’s so far away from where we’re from. Music is magic.”
