Dr. Colossus

Killfest returns in 2023 for a one day heavy music festival which will be held in the grounds of the historic Old Kilmore Gaol on November 25th. Presented by Quirky Sounds and Kilmore Racing Club, Killfest 2023 features a stellar line-up: Nicholas Cage Fighter, Dr Colossus, All This Filth, Primitive, Artifact, Duneeater, Deadweight 80, Resistance, Firestorm and Firing Squad The festival site was a gaol from 1859 until 1891 when it was decommissioned and used as a butter factory. In the 1960s it became a private home and was a restaurant in the 1990s before reverting again to a private home in 2004. Today, the gaol is used for commercial purposes. Its bluestone walls and exterior appearance are the only original features that have been retained. In what will be a picturesque and some would say fitting location for a metal event, the Old Kilmore Gaol is the perfect backdrop for Victoria’s re-emergence as the live music capital of Australia. Proudly supported by Kilmore racing Club, Kinglake Distillery, Daemco, Dexters Hot sauce, Tooborac Brewery, Heavy, Dangertone Studios, Snake Safe Victoria and 2nd Life Blasting and Restorations. Tickets are $40 early bird, $50 pre-sale (plus booking fee) and $55 on the door. In memorium and commemoration of the late, great Alexi Laiho, organisers are proud to once again name the stage after the founding member of Children of Bodom. Tickets can be purchased through Eventbrite. This is an 18+ event.
