Malta Metal Weekend returns this year in November

In 2025, we first unleashed a new beast upon the Mediterranean: The concept of Malta Metal Weekend didn’t just debut – it detonated! With giants like Dream Theater, Opeth, and Apocalyptica leading the charge, we shattered the silence and rocked the island to its very core.

But we aren’t done with you yet.

In 2026, the madness returns with a vengeance. Prepare yourself for three nights of auditory devastation this November, as we reclaim the Eden Arena in the heart of St. Julians. For one long weekend, we are turning the island’s nightlife capital into a true sanctuary of steel.

Three Nights. Thirteen Bands. World Class Venue. Pure Mayhem.

Whether you worship at the altar of 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 bang your head until you drop. Malta Metal Weekend is coming for you….
