In 2025, we unleashed a new beast on the Mediterranean for the first time: The idea of Malta Metal Weekend didn’t just make its debut – it exploded! With giants like Dream Theater, Opeth and Apocalyptica leading the assault, we broke the silence and shook the island to its core.
In 2026, the madness returns with force. Get ready for three nights of acoustic destruction this November, as we reclaim the Eden Arena in the heart of St. Julians. For a three-day stretch, we turn the island’s nightlife capital into a true steel sanctuary.
Three nights. Thirteen bands. A world-class venue. Pure chaos.
Whether you love Extreme Metal, live for the legends of Classic Metal, or crave the soul of Melodic Metal, we have the arsenal to satisfy your hunger. The amps are humming. The stage is set. Get ready to headbang until you fall. Malta Metal Weekend is coming for you….
