Australian extreme metal fans have just been handed one of the best live music bargains of the year, with Shred Fest 2026 launching a limited time ticket sale ahead of its mammoth September run across Australia and New Zealand.
Pick up your Shred Fest tickets for just $60 for the next 60 hours, this is a rare chance to catch one of the year’s biggest technical metal line-ups at a heavily discounted price.
Headlined by German progressive death metal masters Obscura and American technical death metal heavyweights Fallujah, Shred Fest promises another showcase of blistering musicianship, crushing riffs and relentless intensity.
The Australian bill is rounded out by Perth death-doom outfit Ashen, who will appear on most Australian dates, while Sydney’s Anoxia joins the festival in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne. Additional local acts will also feature at every stop, giving each show its own unique flavour

It’s been a long time coming, and we’re ready to deliver a relentless set for our fans down under.
