Metal of Honor’s  SHREDFEST returns May 2nd for the show’s 10 year Anniversary! with the biggest Shredfest lineup in history!

Headlining this monster of a show are Australian metal royalty, MORTAL SIN!! Absolutely one of the greatest bands to ever emerge from this country! They are coming back after a 15year break for a massive 2026 tour and we are lucky enough to have them coming to Brisbane to destroy the stage at SHREDFEST!

Also coming back after a 10 year break, one of the best thrash bands to ever come out of Brisbane, MALAKYTE are back for a very special, one night only performance!

Joining them are a host of some of the top Australian tourers around, coming to Brisbane, the likes of Adelaide thrash kings HIDDEN INTENT, Melbourne crossover thrash maniacs PIZZA DEATH, one of the best powermetal exports this country has ever seen and the first interstate band Metal of Honor ever worked with back in 2007, Sydney’s DARKER HALF!

And thats not nearly all! Metal veterans crushing the world since 1979, BENGAL TIGERS are coming to Brisbane for the first time in decades! Along with an army of interstate metal visitors! LIVEWIRE, T-REX AUTOPSY, PYREFLY, KÜNTSQUAD, THRAXAS, EVOCATUS & PLAGUE DWELLER!

But Shredfest wouldn’t be Shredfest without some of the best bands Brisbane has to offer! LACERATION MANTRA & IDLE RUIN lead the charge with AEON NEXUS, AT THE SNAKES (an At the Gates tribute by SNAKE MOUNTAIN), ASYLUM, 308, ZAGTAR, PISTON FIST, the final ever show for SYMBOLIC WEAPON, NUCLEARSAURUS REX, AHLES, REGULAR GONZALES, VOMITBOMB, ADRIATIC, FUC, MERGATROYD, AWAKEN THE HATE, CORPSE WAGON, NECROSTASIS, THE DISTAINED and your winners of the public vote, opening the show in style, BURN THE KINGDOM
