Borderline Destruction Wellington - Metalcore Edition ft The Ascended (Aus)

BORDERLINE DESTRUCTION — NEW ZEALAND 2026

Borderline Destruction is coming to New Zealand for the very first time.

Bringing together some of the heaviest and most uncompromising names from across Australia and New Zealand, Borderline Destruction is a celebration of metalcore, hardcore and modern heavy music — built for those who like their music loud, aggressive and unapologetic.

Headlining the inaugural NZ edition are The Ascended from Melbourne, Australia, bringing their brand of melodic, crushing metalcore across the Tasman for a special run of New Zealand shows.

Joining them are Cryfor, Synthesis of Self, Soulstroke, intheirimage and Broken By Design, delivering a stacked lineup of local and international heavy music.

One night. Six bands. No holding back.
