Well, here we are again, getting ready for the announcement we've been waiting for - the return of UNIFY Gathering in 2022 and you better believe we're keen AF for a trip back down to Tarwin Lower after a year off. If you missed it last night, an email was sent out via the UNIFY mailing list with video information about the festival's return including a reminder of the dates, when the lineup will be dropping and when tickerts go on sale.
As usual, we've collated all the info you need and compiled it in our Rolling Coverage below which we'll update when any new piece of information comes into us. Think of this as your one-stop-shop for all things UNIFY.
Now let's get started with what we know so far...

Lineup Clues
- UNIFY 2022 will host an all-Australian lineup!
- According to the UNIFY Gathering 2022 event page - if they get over 5000 people ‘going’ in the event they'll leak one of the bands on the lineup - so quick, head to this link and say you're coming!!!
- Going off the festival's previously released teasers, bands that have songs featured in promo videos usually end up on the lineup (e.g. Thornhill was in this teaser and played the 2019 festival) so with that said could The Amity Affliction be playing judged on the above teaser? CONFIRMED
- This IS one of the bands on the lineup... Pridelands = P-Ride-Lan-dz!
