A Massive Triple-Bill Metal Experience Hits Melbourne:

Melbourne is set for an explosive night of heavy metal as three premier tribute acts unite for an unforgettable live experience celebrating the power and legacy of Anthrax, Iron Maiden and Pantera. Taking place at Stay Gold, Brunswick on Friday Feb 20, 2026, this high-energy showcase brings together some of Australia’s finest musicians for a full-throttle tribute to three of the most influential bands in metal history.

Headlining the event is Among The Living, Australia’s ONLY Anthrax tribute act. Renowned for their precision, intensity and authentic thrash delivery, the band brings the classic Anthrax sound to life with a set packed full of audience favourites — including Indians, Caught in a Mosh and I Am the Law. With Anthrax returning to Australia in March 2026, this performance serves as the perfect warm-up for fans gearing up for the official tour.

Joining them is Powerslave, Melbourne’s faithful and sonically powerful tribute to Iron Maiden. Capturing the spirit of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Powerslave delivers soaring vocals, dual-harmony guitars, galloping bass lines and the larger-than-life stage presence that Maiden fans know and love. Expect iconic anthems such as The Trooper, Run to the Hills and Powerslave performed with exceptional skill and passion.Rounding out the lineup is Stronger Than All, the hard-hitting tribute to Pantera. With crushing riffs, thunderous grooves and the unmistakable attitude of one of metal’s most groundbreaking bands, Stronger Than All brings Pantera’s biggest tracks to life — including Walk, 5 Minutes Alone and Cowboys From Hell. Their raw energy and authenticity make them one of the most exciting Pantera tributes in the country.

Together, these three acts create a powerhouse night of metal designed to satisfy long-time fans, modern metalheads and anyone craving a night of loud, electrifying live performance.
