For the first time ever METALSTOCK 2008 will be bombarding the inner city dwellings of SYDNEY over the easter weekend, Saturday 22nd March & Sunday 23rd March at The Manning Bar. This is a great chance for those who have not seen & experienced the Metalstock atmosphere , to behold & embrace its dedication to the metal cause. Although being an indoors festival in 2008, over the course of the two days, Metalstock will feature its best international headliner yet in KATAKLYSM from Canada, plus 14 of the mightiest Australian metal acts going around & 2 brutal offerings from New Zealand. As always Metalstock will be an all-ages event & ticket prices have been kept to a minimum to ensure value for money, leaving all brave hearted warriors more bucks for the merchandise, specials, drinks & food we will have on offer.
