Best Metal & Hard Rock in October 2024

Iron Maiden at Centre Bell

Iron Maiden

Prepare yourself for Iron Maiden's most explosive live spectacular ever as the British heavy metal outfit return to North America on their extravagantly staged The Future Past tour. With more Pyro, light, flame effects than ever and even an entire replica Spitfire in working in perfect fusion with their hard rock tunes, this is THE event Maiden fans won't want to miss.

Opeth at Theatre Olympia

Opeth

The Swedish heavy metal gods return to North America for a special series of concerts. Led by Mikael Akerfeld, Opeth have forged a reputation as one of the genre's most experimental forces, following in the footsteps of their progressive rock idols by incorporating jazz, classical, folk and blues influences into their sprawling - and hauntingly melodic - tracks.

Beat - King Crimson Tribute at Theatre Maisonneuve

Beat - King Crimson Tribute

The music of King Crimson is celebrated by a group of musicians that are less "tribute band" more "supergroup"! Legendary guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danney Carey join former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to tour a show performing the best bits from the legendary prog-rockers' three 1980s entries, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair... plus potentially a few surprises!

Kreator at M Telus

Kreator

Get ready for the heavy riffs and blistering solos of three of the most iconic bands in metal history, as the legendary bands ANTHRAX and KREATOR join forces with TESTAMENT for a monumental thrash metal tour that will shake the US to its core. KREATOR, thrash metal titans, have been waging their unholy war for almost 30 years, releasing a staggering 15 albums. Their latest album charted in the top ten in seven countries, showcasing their relentless dedication to the thrash, proto-black, and death metal genres.

Sepultura at Theatre Olympia

Sepultura

Alongside thrash, groove, and death metal pioneers Pantera, Machine Head and Testament, Brazilian heavy metal icons Sepultura have taken their place as one of the metal genre's most influential acts. Over three decades after the release of their debut album Morbid Visions, the hard-rocking outfit hits the road to say farewell! The quintet will spend September and October saying goodbye to their fans with the help of Jinjer, Obituary and Jesus Piece.
