MUDU - Ballarat

Get ready to bang heads at Metal United Down Under (MUDU) Ballarat — the long-running celebration of Aussie heavy music under one banner; uniting the metal scene across the country since 2014.

On Saturday 23 May 2026 the Painted Lady will be your pit for a night of pure metal insanity. Doors open at 8:00 pm and entry is $20. Tickets at the door.

Fall and Resist bring their ferocious blend of melodic death and metalcore and crushing live energy. Distorta will showcase their groove-laden heavy assault that’s become a staple of the local scene. Emerge are ready to showcase their goods on the Ballarat scene. Autophagia will continue to hit hard with their uncompromising blend of extreme metal and the whole night will be open by new band A.S.O..

This is a night for metalheads old and new — fierce riffs, pit-ready grooves and community spirit under the MUDU banner. With thanks to the Painted Lady and Metal-Roos Entertainment.
