Unify Gathering was an annual Australian music festival held in South Gippsland, Victoria, featuring artists of various genres including rock, metal, and punk. The festival has been discontinued since 2023.
History Originally started in 2015 as a two-day music and camping festival, the event expanded to three days in 2017; with attendance increasing from 3,000 in 2015 to 5,000 in 2016, and 7,500 for 2017 and 2018. In 2019, the festival moved to a new location in Tarwin Meadows, a short distance away from the previous site at the Tarwin Lower Recreation Reserve. After being forced to cancel the 2021 instalment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival returned in 2022 with an all-Australian lineup. It did not take place in 2023, and was instead replaced by a series of mini-festivals titled Unify Off The Record held in Mackay, Adelaide, Wollongong, Hobart and Frankston from May to June.
