Black Plague Festival

Black Plague Festival is a black metal event at The Ed Castle on Currie Street, Adelaide, presented by Realm of Thorns and billed as Adelaide's only annual black metal festival. The inaugural edition on 29 August 2026 pulls together a national bill — Atra Vetosus from Tasmania, VileGloom from WA, plus Spectral Dominion, Sons of Erebus, Abendrot, Noctivagus and Asmodeus — spanning black metal, black/death and black/noise. A small room, a single day, and a rare dedicated home for the genre in South Australia.
