Best Metal & Hard Rock from September 7 - November 7

in Raleigh

Buckethead at Lincoln Theatre

Buckethead

Legendary guitarist Buckethead is heading out on tour! Real name Brian Patrick Carroll, Buckethead has spent his whole onstage career behind a Halloween inspired mask, with a KFC bucket perched on his head. His ominous appearance has created an almost mystical aura around him, backed up by his transcendently good guitar playing, blending metal, blues and prog with stunning effect.

Staind and Breaking Benjamin at Coastal Credit Union Music Park

Staind and Breaking Benjamin

Rock legends Staind and Breaking Benjamin are heading out on a co-headline tour this fall. Hot off the Tailgate Tour, Staind show no signs of Falling as they hit venues up and down the country, with Breaking Benjamin also just having warmed up on a spring tour of their own. Both bands are ready for you, so what are you waiting for? Get your tickets today!

Kreator at The Ritz

Kreator

Get ready for the heavy riffs and blistering solos of three of the most iconic bands in metal history, as the legendary bands ANTHRAX and KREATOR join forces with TESTAMENT for a monumental thrash metal tour that will shake the US to its core. KREATOR, thrash metal titans, have been waging their unholy war for almost 30 years, releasing a staggering 15 albums. Their latest album charted in the top ten in seven countries, showcasing their relentless dedication to the thrash, proto-black, and death metal genres.

Sepultura at The Ritz

Sepultura

Alongside thrash, groove, and death metal pioneers Pantera, Machine Head and Testament, Brazilian heavy metal icons Sepultura have taken their place as one of the metal genre's most influential acts. Over three decades after the release of their debut album Morbid Visions, the hard-rocking outfit hits the road to say farewell! The quintet will spend September and October saying goodbye to their fans with the help of Jinjer, Obituary and Jesus Piece.
