FIREBALL Fest. returns to Lotte Taoyuan Baseball Stadium this 11/14–11/15, having already revealed international acts including Fire EX., Dragon Ash, Sambomaster, Crystal Lake, EGO-WRAPPIN', and Japanese girl group HANA. Today (9/16) the festival drops its explosive final lineup in one go: Grammy-nominated American punk powerhouse FEVER 333, popular Japanese hardcore punk band Northern19, Golden Melody Best Rock Band TRASH, Taiwanese rap icon and Golden Melody king Soft Lipa, double-Golden (Melody and Horse) Hakka songwriter Sheng Xiang, youth favorite Guandu Teens, newly-crowned Golden Melody Best Hakka Album winner Han Huang, sci-fi rock newcomer Yō-Yō, punk rock band Pangoo, and pure American-punk-blooded band DESTROYERS.

American punk powerhouse FEVER 333 makes their Taiwan debut at FIREBALL Fest.! Northern19 brings pure Japanese melodic punk

Grammy-nominated for Best Rock Performance, heavy punk-rock band FEVER 333 fuses rap, metal, and hardcore into ferocious, socially charged live sets that always leave crowds electrified. Having played FUJI ROCK's main stage, FIREBALL Fest. marks a rare recent Asia appearance for the band — and their first-ever Taiwan show.

From Niigata, Japan, and over 20 years into their career, melodic punk soul band Northern19 is known for blistering tempos and endlessly hooky melodies. Having last played Taiwan in 2015, they return after more than a decade away, bringing a dense, high-velocity wall of sound to the ballpark.

Soft Lipa, Sheng Xiang, and Han Huang join as Golden Melody winners — Sheng Xiang is dying to see Flesh Juicer

Taiwanese rap icon Soft Lipa, who won Golden Melody Best Mandarin Male Vocalist and Best Mandarin Album for "Home Cooking Music," makes a surprise return after 2 years, bringing his signature hip-hop cadence fresh off his new album "Canal," his first in 6 years. Sheng Xiang, who won Best Original Film Song at the Golden Horse Awards and Best Single Producer at the Golden Melody Awards for the "The Great Buddha+" soundtrack, has spent years rooted in land and culture, making his second FIREBALL Fest. appearance this year. Sheng Xiang jokes that playing FIREBALL Fest. always "feels like stepping out of the bullpen to play a real ballgame," and name-dropped who he's most excited to see: "Flesh Juicer, because my daughter loves them." Newly-crowned Golden Melody Best Hakka Album winner Han Huang brings a fresh style of Hakka music to move the punk crowd.

TRASH previews a new song, repeats their boast: "Sorry, but the biggest mosh pit has to be ours"

Making their second FIREBALL Fest. appearance, Golden Melody Best Band TRASH fondly recalled sharing a stage with their idols THE BONEZ last time as an unforgettable day. Asked if they're confident they can open a bigger pit than host band Fire EX., TRASH showed their survival instincts: "Who'd dare act up in front of the hosts? But sorry — the biggest pit has to be ours." They also teased a surprise for fans: "Stay tuned for a new song live!" Longtime Taiwanese punk bands Pangoo and DESTROYERS both return, alongside rising NTU band Guandu Teens and distinctive independent act Yō-Yō, showing off the raw power of Taiwan's cross-generational, multilingual rock scene.

This year's FIREBALL Fest. brings together top creators from the US, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Korea, and Taiwan. Early-bird tickets have already sold out, with presale tickets counting down on limited supply.
