Psyched As Forever 2026 is officially on, taking over The Factory Courtyard + Factory Floor on Saturday 14 March - and this one’s special as we’re celebrating 10 Years of Psyched As!
Relocating to The Factory, in Marrickville, Psyched As is bringing in the big 1-0 the only way we know how: an epic line-up of bands, cold beers and questionable DJ sets by some of Sydney’s finest, AKA anyone with a USB, cause community.
Leading the lineup charge are DUST, bringing their slow, crushing, brain-melting psych heaviness. If you’ve seen them live, you already know. If you haven’t, consider this your warning, these guys rule and this set will rattle you to your bones.
The Laurels are back where they belong — on a Psyched As stage. Absolute Sydney psych royalty, jangly, hazy and timeless, whilst Turtle Skull make their PA debut towering fuzz-drenched sounds, stretching riffs - heavy psych at its finest.
Also tearing it up are Selve, serving sharp hooks and emotional punches with zero filler, and Frenzee, whose feral, pedal-to-the-floor punk energy is guaranteed to leave the room a mess (in the best way).
The day will also see the likes of Maia Toakley, Marilyn Maria, Sonic Reducer and Special Features grace the stages, a hand-picked crew of legendary legends bringing everything from indie-folk, to post-punk mayhem and everything in between.
And obviously, the Psyched As House Band will be in the mix - the heart, the chaos, the family - ready to throw down another unforgettable set stacked with familiar faces and 10/10 bangers.
Psyched As Forever celebrates the life and legacy of Richard ‘Millsy’ Mills, co-founder of Psyched As and all-round community legend. Now in its 4th year, the festival has truly hit its stride, and continues to donate a portion of ticket sales to Bula Bula Arts Centre in Rammingining, where Millsy worked and was very loved.
Get ready gang, this one's going to be EPIC. Neck warm-ups are NECESSARY, no bangovers here.
