Steel Panther at Keswick Theater

Steel Panther

Steel Panther have taken their parody of '80s glam metal to a whole new level. Through their undying commitment to sleazy lyrics, skin-tight leather, and genuine musical chops, the L.A. band have now reached the same level of fame as a lot of the groups they're aping. They've headlined Wembley and have toured with the likes of Judas Priest and Guns N' Roses.

Animals As Leaders at Union Transfer

Animals As Leaders

Guitarists Tosin Abasi and Javier Reyes, along with drummer Matt Garstka, make up the distinctive band that is Animals As Leaders. Their name alone represents the band's individual approach to producing and performing metal music, characterized by their signature instrumental sound. This much-anticipated jaunt will see them celebrate the 10th anniversary of their third studio album, "The Joy Of Motion," by performing the full album for fans!

GWAR at Franklin Music Hall

GWAR

Gwar is a heavy metal band formed in Richmond, VA, in 1984. The band is best known for its elaborate science fiction/horror film inspired costumes, obscene lyrics and graphic stage performances, which feature humorous enactments of politically and morally taboo themes. Their grotesque costumes make them easy to identify, and their science-fiction mythology theme only adds to the band portrayal of them being warriors.

Iron Maiden at Wells Fargo Center

Iron Maiden
