WITCHGRINDER—with Van Diemen and ELMS at Altar Bar

WITCHGRINDER RETURN TO TASMANIA — OCTOBER 16

After two years away, Witchgrinder are finally making their return to Hobart, Tasmania. Taking over Altar Bar on October 16 for one hell of a night.

We’ll be unleashing a heavy-hitting set of old favourites and fresh new material, bringing the industrial fuelled aggression, crushing riffs and chaos that Witchgrinder live shows are known for.

This is one of the last shows of 2026 before we head into the studio to begin work on the next chapter of Witchgrinder. Expect things to get loud, dark and seriously heavy.

Joining us on the night are local heavy hitters Van Diemen and ELMS, getting the night started early and warming up the crowd with some serious noise.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTWe acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita. We pay our respects to their elders both past and present and acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded.

SAFE SPACEWe believe in safe and positive spaces where all people are welcome and respected. If you experience or see something that doesn’t look right, please report it to one of our friendly staff.
