Our biggest supporters, The Basement Canberra, hosted us once again and made the night super smooth and fun to be involved with. All the bands gave it their all Auld Artifact BOUDICCA Daniel Kelly Music The Loom of Time and especially Trollgasm giving their final ever performance! Orpheus Omega Triple Kill Saralisse all brought their A game as well & will be heading to Melbourne this weekend to see if they can live up to the heights and hype Canberra set!

It simply wouldn't be Questfest without them, please welcome the final band of Questfest 2022 - Questlemania the one and only Beast Impalor ! Beast return to QF but not as you may expect! Read this important message from the band: An important beast blast! The maestro of marrow, the skeletal sensation that shakes the foundations, the bony blast beater himself has decided to take some time away from the stage and focus his energy into other creative outlets but he will still be floating around our merch table happy to lend a hand, arm or toe. So we have had to source a much fleshier monster masher to take over the reigns, and our latest creation will make his first appearance alongside a new look live lineup of Beast Impalor at Questfest!
