Best Metal & Hard Rock in Richmond

Underoath at The National

Underoath

Christian metal-rockers Underoath are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their fourth and breakthrough album, 'They're Only Chasing Safety,' in the best way possible: with a new tour! Kicking off in early fall, this tour will showcase all songs from the album as well as fan favorites. They're ready to give you a night to remember, so don't miss it!

GWAR at The National

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.

Queensryche at The National

Queensryche

Kings of heavy metal, Queensryche, return to the road with a brand new tour this spring, supported by fellow metal band 'Armored Saint'. Fans can expect to see them performing both their self-titled EP and debut album 'The Warning'. Don't miss out on seeing Queensryche live when they come to a city near you!

Beat - King Crimson Tribute at Carpenter Theater

Beat - King Crimson Tribute

The music of King Crimson is celebrated by a group of musicians that are less "tribute band" more "supergroup"! Legendary guitarist Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danney Carey join former King Crimson members Adrian Belew and Tony Levin to tour a show performing the best bits from the legendary prog-rockers' three 1980s entries, Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair... plus potentially a few surprises!

Babymetal at The National

Babymetal

A musical fusion the likes of which the world had never seen or heard before, Babymetal first turned ears and heads when they released their self-titled debut album in 2014. Don't miss feisty, pint-sized performers Su-metal and Moametal in all their pig-tailed, metal pop glory as they hit US shores for their 2024 tour, taking names and filling arenas with their unique sound.
