Finland's power metal juggernauts Battle Beast are heading out for their debut Australian tour in March 2026, hot on the heels of their seventh studio album Steelbound.
Known for crafting anthems rather than mere songs, Battle Beast has built their reputation on massive riffs and unbridled energy. Their sound represents a triumphant evolution that fuses classic heavy metal with ’80s-tinged hard rock, cinematic synths and infectious pop hooks – all with hurricane-force intensity.

The band’s credentials speak volumes. Multiple platinum-selling albums across Europe, sold-out tours worldwide, and stages shared with metal heavyweights Sabaton and Nightwish (who’ve even covered a Battle Beast track live). They’ve also collaborated with Amaranthe, cementing their status as what Metal Planet calls “modern metal titans and a must-see live show.”
Battle Beast Australian tour dates:
- Tuesday 10 March – Perth, Magnet House
- Wednesday 11 March – Adelaide, Lion Arts Factory
- Friday 13 March – Melbourne, Max Watts
- Saturday 14 March – Sydney, Manning Bar
- Sunday 15 March – Brisbane, Crowbar
Frontwoman Noora Louhimo’s excitement is palpable: “We’re beyond excited to finally bring our beastly sound to the land of endless horizons and killer crowds. Australia’s metal scene has been calling to us for years – get ready for a night of pure escapism, headbanging fury, and memories that’ll last a lifetime!”
The five-date tour kicks off in Perth on 10 March before hitting Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and wrapping up in Brisbane on 15 March. Each show promises the theatrical, high-energy performance that’s earned them praise as “not just another metal band” but “a phenomenon.”
Pre-sale tickets go live Friday 24 October at 9:00am local time, with general public sales following on Monday 27 October at 9:00am local time via The Phoenix.
