The Australian heavy metal scene unites once again as Metal United Down Under (MUDU) returns for its 11th year of celebrating the raw power of homegrown metal. This year, MUDU will take place across multiple cities in Australia on Saturday, April 26, 2025, showcasing the incredible talent found within our heavy music community. 

This year's Installment of MUDU in Melbourne will be taking place at the legendary Bendigo Hotel, notably one of Australia's most iconic venues. Featuring some of Australia's finest heavy acts including: Dreadnaught, Alarum, Monoliyth, Kuntsquad, Kniver and MORE!

Michael Lueders, founder of MUDU and the force behind Black-Roos Entertainment, reflects on the event’s core mission:
“MUDU is all about both the music lovers and the bands celebrating their day for what metal is: hanging out with their metal brothers and sisters for a good time with great music and company! Uniting our local metal communities, working together – not against each other – with the aim of creating the strongest music scene possible!”
