NW METAL CALENDAR
Last updated on 4/2/24.
ANNOUNCEMENT: As a public service, we started this page many years ago to list upcoming metal shows in the Seattle area (and sometimes elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest) as we become aware of them.
WARNING: We get our information from press releases and web sites for the venues for the shows, but we can’t guarantee that what we find and post here will stay accurate as time passes, so check it out for yourself. We don’t promise to update the info if a show is canceled or a band drops off a tour or the venue changes. So before you show up to buy tickets at the door or online, check with the venue to make sure nothing has changed.
CAVEAT: Sometimes our editor doesn’t list a show because he’s unfamiliar with the bands, or because he missed an announcement or forgot to check a venue’s calendar. If you’re a band or a venue and you want us to add your info here, or if you’re a music lover who thinks we ought to list an event you know of, leave a comment below or send an e-mail to: islander@nocleansinging.com

Don’t forget Isis at Neumos on June 1!
Thanks for that tip! It’s now added. (We clearly need to pay more regular attention to the Neumo’s calendar.)
Well fuck, it looks like Isis broke up — but according to the band’s statement, they will complete the current tour — which will be their last. Here’s the statement:
http://isistheband.blogspot.com/2010/05/isis-has-reached-end_18.html
Wow, fuck, Finntroll and Barren Earth on the same bill? That’s epic as hell. Of course, no Swedish tour. WTF?
Epic is the word. So sorry for no Sweden . . .
How about The Power of the Riff tour on Aug 19th at Neumo’s?
Man, thanks for that one! I just added it up above.
Although it would be awesome, I’m pretty sure Tesseract won’t be playing on the Periphery/Textures show. Also, you have the date wrong: it’s on the 22nd, not the 26th!
I take it back – it looks like Tesseract will be playing after all! They’re not listed on the posters though. But still, the show is on September 22nd.
Thanks for catching that goof. I’ve fixed the date now — and yes, Tesseract is still listed as performing on the Studio Seven web site.
Funeral Age is playing with Decapitated on October 14th at Studio 7 as well. Please update the info.
Done. Man is that going to be a helluva show.
Very awesome! Thank you very much!
The Ocean is playing with Devin Townsend too!!!!!!!
Wowee. I just updated that.
Super Happy Story Time Land is going to be the only local opener for Deicide on March 18th
Cool! I just added SHSTL to that lineup.
NOV. 15 TDWP, Whitechapel, Enter Shikari, For Today at Roseland Theatre Portland Oregon
Go to the upcoming shows section of truemetalseattleforums.org for the most comprehensive listing of upcoming Metal shows, both local and national.
No
Huntress and Holy Grail opening for Dragonforce on May 5th. Those are the bands many people will go for me thinks.
This should be updated to combine these two shows:
NOV 10 at Showbox SoDo: GWAR, DevilDriver, Cancer Bates, Legacy of Disorder
NOV 10 at Neumos: Napalm Death, Municipal Waste, Exhumed, Attitude Adjustment, Martha Splatterhead’s Revenge
Holy shit. Thanks for that news. I just updated the calendar. Also added that Lamb of God/In Flames show on Dec 16.
March 31st, Metal Alliance 3 at Showbox SoDo. Anthrax, Exodus, Municipal Waste, Holy Grail, plus more TBA.
Dayum! I just added that to our calendar (thanks Dan).

Krystos, Last Bastion, Lb! (Pound)
at 2 Bit Saloon
Mayhem Festival is happening July 3rd. There are some pretty good bands on the list, like Behemoth, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, Machine Head, and Mastodon. And some…not so exciting bands as well.
Man, thanks for that tip. I’ve been hunkered down in a cave the last 2 weeks and missed that announcement. That’s a really mixed lineup, but the awesome part of it is pretty fuckin awesome. I just added it to this page.
There’s definitely a variety. I’m curious to see how all the different stages work, timing-wise and such.
June 19 – Studio Seven: Melechesh, Vreid, Lightning Swords Of Death, Reign Of Lies.
Why must this be on a Wednesday?
That is one badass line-up. I’ve added it to the calendar (thanks for the tip).
Looks like Warbringer’s playing that Overkill/Kreator show as well.
Thanks for that tip. I just added them. That’s going to be quite a show,
Naam is playing Highline on 07/24/13: http://www.bandsintown.com/event/6783350?artist=Naam&came_from=123
Thanks — added this.

Just added that — thanks for the tip.
where’s church of misery? December 4th or 5th
I just added that — it’s Dec 3 at The Crocodile. Thanks for the tip.
I am a die hard metal fan from speed metal to the darkest deepest sickest heaviest metal on earth…..i moved from the Tri state area recently to a place near Detroit Lakes Minnesota…..Any Venue info in the area would be greatly appreciated…ihave been to near 5000 shows in my life and growin up near NYC you can only imagine all the venues in a 10 mile radius let alone a 100 mile radius….i come out here and KAPOOT lmao…Please help I NEED MY METAL!!!!!! ….Im not that far from Fargo dakota but its an hour away….BUT for metal its well worth the ride…i know i can research venues but maybe you can help…that would be DEATHTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…Hornz metal Brethren !,,!-!,,!
Oh man, I feel your pain. Unfortunately, about all I have time to do for this page is try to keep up with what’s happening in the Seattle area where I live, updating it about once a week. It’s really the only part of this site that’s purely local.
i’m from Minneapolis and honestly it’s your best bet for Metal. some bands out of Minneapolis are; False, Tvaer, Hive, Panopticon, Wolf Blood, Circadian Ritual. as far as venues St. Cloud has the Red Carpet Night Club and Minneapolis has a ton of venues (a lot ran through First Ave) and Extreme Noise record store is always worth checking out when you can for records and local show flyers. Detroit lakes is a bit of a drive so this info might not be great for your situation
I don’t know if this is anything people here will be interested in, but Feb 11- at El Corazon, Chelsea Grin (and several other irrelevant bands.)
Yes, I’l add that — and thanks.
Sunday, Jan 26th at Highline – Chapel, Weregoat, Old Skin
https://www.facebook.com/events/257552921067347/
Goddamn, that is one hell of a show. I’ve added it to this page.
I love you
Very kind of you to say so. That makes two of us.
Under the section blogroll on this page, when you click on Northwest Metal Alliance, it comes up with a septic tank on it.
FYI
Ooops! Well, the Northwest Metal Alliance link is obviously defunct. Why it’s redirecting to that septic tank site, I have no idea — not my doing, though it is kind of funny. Anyway, I’ve deleted the link. Reminds me that I need to clean up the blogroll, which I haven’t done in… forever.
I think you have the wrong date for the Carcass show, should be March 29th. \m/
Thanks for catching that error! I’ve corrected the date.

Hi. Drummer Oz here in Seattle interested in djent music, etc. I’m versatile if needed for other styles, but I love myself some breakdowns. Moved from so-Cali. 16 years playing drums and id like to hit the stages around the world with a good team. Anybody out there? I also rent a studio space in Fremont. I’m down for short term gigs as well. I’m 24 and ready to go. I also play a little guitar amd plenty of piano/keys. I have some recording equipment as well. Worked hard to get up here. I’d like for a longer term partnership with people who have passports willing to follow through for tours after we spend the next couple years together inspiring people to get on their feet with the things we can collaborate through our rhythms and lyrics. There’s no question about dedication, I only want those who are seriously dedicated to rock out and open up for starters other bands. If anyone is out there, please feel free to message me via email. Thanks. -Oz.

Ok, I thought it was weird there was 2 similar shows this week.

*10/24
Fucking rad! Thanks!
Awesome resource! Thanks!!!
You’re welcome!
My doom band Autumn Mourning is playing our first show Oct 23rd at the Redmond firehouse. If you could add it that would be great.
I’ll add it.
Iron Maiden – April11th – Tacoma Dome
Woah… yes, I think I’d better add that.
By any chance, do you know a good site to be aware of all the west coast shows? Thank you!
Sorry, I don’t.
You, my friend, are rad!
Thank you!
you forgot Helloween man! (I believe it was March 8)
Whoops, I meant March 6
Got it — thanks. Just added it to the calendar.
You forgot to delete the rescheduled venom show on the 23rd and Black Breath is playing on the 17th of December @ neumos.
Keep up the good work!
Many thanks — I made those changes, plus added a few other items discovered while perusing the Neumos calendar. I’ve got some more updating to do later today.
What time does Nashville Pussy go on tonight?
Don’t know. Four bands before them and El Corazon says the show starts at 8:30.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
🙂
I know you mostly list Seattle shows, but Portland Has a pretty rad little Festival called Famine Fest (Feb 19+20). Mitochondrion, Auroch, Sadistic Intent, Acephalix, Noothgrush, and twenty other bands. Might be worth fighting the I5 traffic
Thanks — I finally got around to adding that beast of a fest, as well as the Northwestern Black Circle Festival in April.
I personally like the idea of seeing what is going on all around the Pacific Northwest. I know Seattle, Portland, and sometimes Olympia are not the only places doing shows. The NW is getting too big for that anyway, other places need to step up, and get coverage.
I agree. When I first started this calendar more than six years ago, that was my aim. But as time has passed and I’ve gotten busier with other aspects of the site, it’s been tough to make time to track down shows outside the Seattle area on any kind of regular basis.
Im looking for some bands that have a sound like Red Fang in the NW. If anyone can throw some names my way I would appreciate it. Cheers
Also Act of Defiance (former megadeth and others) on Feb 5th at El Corazon
Trivium is coming to studio seven on Feb 7th, I believe
Thanks, I’ve added this show and the Feb 5 show at El Corazon, plus some others.
Friday April 1st 2015 Lluvia
Portland, Or
https://www.facebook.com/events/1735901463310885/

Noctambulant and Embryonic Devourment are playing in Olympia on the 28th at the Crypt
https://www.facebook.com/events/775848079204612/
Studio Seven has nothing on their page for that day.
Thanks. I don’t know whether I screwed up in the first place or the venue changed, but either way, I fixed it.
Red Fang at Real Art Tacoma Saturday April 16
Thanks — adding that now.
My guys have a couple of great shows coming up. Great calendar, thank you! Got you bookmarked now. 🙂
Please see the link for show details, but we’ve got this Friday 26th in Longview, then a couple of shows in April, one at Studio Seven with Ghost Ship Octavius, and one in Bremerton.
http://www.disciplesofdissent.com/shows
Thanks for adding the show on April 22nd to the calendar! Disciples of Dissent are also opening for Soulfly at Studio 7 on the 15th May.

May 13, RISHLOO @ the Crocodile!
Hi! I don’t really get one thing. Malevolent Creation was supposed to be playing in Studio Seven on April 18.
But this show is not on calendar anymore and no info on band’s FB page either. Does anybody know anything about that? I’m very frustrated
I don’t remember how I found out that the show was canceled, or why it was canceled, but it really is not happening.
Thanks a lot for this info. And it’s very sad. Terribly wanted to see them. They never play in Seattle for some reason.
Aug 5th @ Barboza: Monolord
Ah cool, thanks. I’ll add this.
June 16 at Studio Seven: Ill Niño with Bobaflex, Terror Universal, Saint Diablo, and Casualty of God
Thanks. I’ve now added that.
If you are a fan of Funeral Doom and live anywhere near Seattle, you need to go see Temple of Abandonment play at the Highline. These guys demo just made Skepticisms come back look like a joke. Hoping I catch it myself.
Saturday 8/27
Power from Hell, Crurifragium, Vomicus, Hereticon
Black Zia Cantina 15212 6th Ave SW, Burien, Washington 98166
Now added to the calendar, thanks.
Hey, I have a new venue up in Everett called Obscurus. The next show with Metal is August 13 with Dilapidation, Noceur (sp?), Pill Brigade and Subliminal Genocide. September 3 is a Mechanismus sponsored Industrial with 9 bands and 3 djs, more info to come but this one will be a sellout crowd already. I am looking for black metal show bookings for a night in September and October if anyone is interested.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks — I’ve now added this to our calendar.
Disciples of Dissent have a show in Wenatchee with Sporicyde and Headwound on Saturday! I know Wenatchee is a way out there, but these are local Seattle area bands, out to create some mayhem and madness in eastern WA! Will be a great show..
http://disciplesofdissent.com/event/1668730/304607658/snatchee-records-presents
I did add that show to our calendar.
Thanks so much! 🙂
Are you gonna add the suicide silence, whitechapel, carnifex, and oceano concert at studio seven sept 29th @7:30 should be on here wtf
Yeah, definitely. I haven’t had a chance for the last two weeks to do a complete survey of venues and update this with new shows. Going to do that this weekend.
Butcher Babies has replaced Havok on the Megadeth show on 9/27
Thanks — I made that change in the calendar.
The ocean collective announced a show at studio 7 on November 3
Why do you have two dates for the Neurosis show? I only see one on the 19th, which is unfortunately sold out.
I don’t remember why I did that. They’re now playing in Vancouver on the 20th. I’ve corrected it and also added the two dates in Portland on Nov 25-26.
Update for the September 29 show at the Highline:
Devils Of Loudun w/ Rhine, Ashes Of Existence, Ghostblood (no Without Mercy)
October 1 @ Twilight Cafe in Portland – A Flourishing Scourge w/ Rhine, Where Lovers Rot, Saola

Thanks. I’ve corrected the Highline listing and added the others to the page.
Puddle of Mudd!? NO WAY MAN!!!
I don’t think one person who reads this blog is interested in going to see Puddle of Mudd, but thanks for letting us know about your guilty pleasure!
I have to get my amusement where I find it. At least now I have proof that there is at least one person that reads through everything carefully. 🙂

Hey dude, not an addition to the list but just wanted to thank you for doing this. I check this frequently and without it I end up missing a lot of shows, I’m pretty busy/depressed so this helps a lot.
Thank you very much for this comment! And it reminds me that I haven’t updated the calendar in a week or 10 days — which I’ll do soon.
Agreed! I’ve been checking this regularly for years – it’s really nice not to have to go to every single venue’s website looking for shows of interest. Thanks for doing this!
great to visit seattle
The May 23 show at Studio Seven says 2 Sirens, should be Sirenia.
Sorry about that. I’ve corrected it.
Anyone from Sacramento going to this, please let me ride with:
JUN 11 at Highline: Blood Incantation, Qrixkuor, Demoncy, Triumvir Foul
Haven’t seen cough and wounded giant on that windhand show anywhere but here. Where’s that line up coming from? Neumos says they’re playing with hell and UN which is fucking sick…
I originally got the info from a Relapse Records press release, but Neumos obviously knows what they’ve scheduled. I’ve changed the calendar to match what Neumos is showing.

No, sorry.
Have you tried Way Back Machine (archive dot org)? Copy the URL of this page and paste it into the way back machine to see older snapshots of this webpage. I checked, there’s a ton of snapshots.

Cauldron and Amulet @ The Highline on Octover 14th.
Hi there. I almost had heart attack yesterday, when i saw that Cannibal Corpse are playing at one club and Cryptopsy with Belphegor are playing at another one ON THE SAME DAY. And i was planning to see them both and i thought this was the MOST retarded thing in the world to make death metal shows like this. But just now i double checked it and it appears there is a mistake on your calendar. Belphegor+ Cryptopsy are playing on NOV 27. So, it’d be nice to correct it. Thanks.
Oh hell! Sorry for almost causing a heart attack, and thanks for letting me know about my goof. I fixed it.
Friday, Sept 29th @ 9 Bewitcher, Substratum, Kommand, Pragmatic Chaos at Obsidian Oly
Thanks. It’s on the calendar now.
Wait, you live in Seattle too? Have you gone to any shows in Seattle recently and I’ve ran into you and not realized it? Are we best friends? Are you my buddy Sam?
🙂 I do live in the Seattle area but I’m not Sam.
I saw Inquisition a few weeks ago and that was badass, even though Uada stole the show. Did you catch it?
Looks like the Soulfly show is exclusively tracks from Nailbomb’s classic Point Blank album. Should be a fun show.
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/max-cavalera-on-nailbombs-point-blank-we-just-wanted-to-make-heavy-music-with-a-fk-you-attitude/
We’re playing a few shows coming up:
October 28th w/ Infernal Legion, Effluvia & Grim Ritual @ Erebus in Kelso
$7 November 11th w/ Trojan Swamp Monster, Dilapidation, Effluvia & Oxygen Destroyer @ Erebus in Kelso
$7 December 2nd w/ Drawn and Quartered, Effluvia, Nekro Drunkz & Witch Vomit @ The Valley in Tacoma
Thanks — I’ve got those all on our calendar now.
So is this calendar dead? It used to be an awesome source of shows…
Not dead, I just haven’t had a chance to update it thoroughly in a couple of weeks.
Just so you’re aware, the main link to the NW Metal Calendar on the main NCS site and Google currently links to a version with mostly shows from September and October, with only 5 shows currently listed taking place at any point in the future. I see you’ve updated the real list, but it’s currently only accessible after browsing through to the end of the comment pages. For the sake of all Seattle area metal fans, please fix this at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
I’m not sure why that has been happening. I just made some changes in the way the comments are displayed. Has that fixed the issue?
Effluvia,Ensepulcher, Putrefication & Apraxic is playing Friday December 8th at Twilight Cafe and Bar
1420 SE Powell Blvd, Portland, Oregon 97202
$13 @ the door
That’s a cool line-up and I’ve added it to the calendar.

Thanks very much for that tip. I’ve added it.
Wiegedood at the Highline September 21st!
That’s very exciting news. Now on the calendar.
According to the facebook page for Korpiklaani, they’re playing with Arkona on November 13 at El Corazon, not October.
Thanks for catching that mistake. I’ve corrected the goof.
Geoff Tate’s operation mindcrime is playing the neptune Aug 29th. Looks like they are playing Operation Mindcrime in it’s entirety and a couple of other queensryche classics.
Would you consider any shows coming up “Don’t miss it”? I like metal but there’s so many bands I’m not familiar with!
any Slayer fans in the Seattle/Everett area?
Mournful congregation/mortuary drape/satan have stolen the year for me as best shows, but I feel a lack of good death/black metal in fall/December, which feels like an awful shame for these gloomy seasons.
It would be an awful shame — which reminds me that I need to update this calendar. Maybe something else new has appeared on the horizon that’s in keeping with the gloomy season.
OCT 2 at Neptune Theatre: Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Battle Beast
http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/kamelot-announces-fall-2019-north-american-tour-with-sonata-arctica-and-battle-beast/

Across the water from Seattle guitar and vocals kinda guy. Trying to start a band, preferably some extreme metal. If not black metal than doom or death for sure. Kinda just fucked like the most of us. Looking for some mates just to let out everything at a good jam session, who knows where we go.
