Mid-week show update.

Next week, we'll be announcing the fourth and final band for our benefit gig which is happening on Saturday, 13th December at the Leadbeater Hotel in Richmond. They will join such legends as Black Majesty Official, Damnations Day, and the (where have they been all this time?) EYEFEAR.

Peter has designed our t-shirts. Pre-orders are closing on Monday (8th Dec). Here's the link: https://merch.pbsfm.org.au/products/screaming-symphony-t-shirt

We will have a run of t-shirts available on the night but it certainly won't be in the hundreds (and definitely not in the thousands) :)

As for ticket pre-sales, really awesome so far (yes, it's even surprised us and we've been going to local gigs forever). Tickets are available here: https://theleadbeaterhotel.oztix.com.au/outlet/event/95355990-6088-49b0-9fcd-e566f459e2d0

Oh, a little birdie told me that we MIGHT have an EXTREMELY limited print-run of A1 (or was it A0?) sized posters available for sale on the night. And when I say limited, I mean less than a handful which means if you're not there when the doors open you might miss out. On thick cardboard, too, not standard paper.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Screaming Symphony: The Last Stand

After 27 years on-air, Screaming Symphony is turning the amps up one last time.

The legendary PBS metal show that’s been shredding the airwaves since the late 90s is saying farewell.

It’s all happening on Saturday December 13 at The Leadbeater Hotel in Richmond with our good friends Black Majesty Official, EYEFEAR, Damnations Day, and one very special guest (to be announced soon).

As the first radio show of its kind in Australia to focus exclusively on progressive and power metal, Screaming Symphony has been a fierce supporter of the national scene, championing local legends, and introducing listeners to the global sounds of steel. Known for its wit, detailed reviews, wild energy, and surprisingly broad fanbase including plenty of non-metalheads, the show has been one of the most entertaining corners of the PBS grid.

From broadcasting live three times from Wacken Open Air in Germany, the world’s biggest metal festival, to unexpected crossovers with Hamish and Andy, Screaming Symphony has done it all.

Come down, raise your horns, and help send off a PBS institution that’s been banging heads and breaking boundaries for nearly three decades.

Saturday December 13 at The Leadbeater Hotel
1 Church St, Richmond.
Doors 7.30pm
Tickets: https://theleadbeaterhotel.oztix.com.au/outlet/event/95355990-6088-49b0-9fcd-e566f459e2d0

Presales: $35+BF (Future PBS Members), $30+BF (PBS Members)
At the door: $40 (Future PBS Members), $35 (PBS Members)
