Site Updates

Ignore this post - the site is fixed and back up and running for submissions 

Hi everyone, since switching to our new webhosts we are having an error 406 issue which means new bands can not be added to the listings.  We're aware of the issue and trying to fix it asap so please bear with us until the fix is sorted.  You can still add gigs to the website, just not new bands, so if a band is not on the website that is supporting please add them into the extra info field, do not bother creating a new band as it will vanish into the cosmos!!

In the meantime here's a poster for the upcoming Opeth and Alcest tour, tickets can be found here.

We're not updating the site news this week as we will be too busy at Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands.  To keep up with everything going on over there (if we can get a wifi signal!) then follow us on twitter, like us on facebook and search for us on instagram @metalgigs \m/

Just a very quick update for you all and a random photo of Godsized with an impressive beard.  This is just to let you know that gig listings are continuing to be updated, but news posts have stopped, i didn't want people to come on the site and think it's not being updated, it is on the listings page, just not on the news. I'd like to thank all the bands, promoters, and the public who are adding listings to help keep every one of our 10,000+ visitors a month in the know about the latest gigs.  

Due to ongoing personal family matters I will not be updating the news for the foreseeable future, but will continue with the listings side.  To all those that have offered to help during this period, the best thing you can do is add gigs if you see they are missing and keep the site listings fresh whilst I deal with the ongoing matters. Keep an eye and follow the facebook page as i will be using this for tour announcements and news updates from now on.  THANK YOU to all those that have reached out, your support is appreciated, Antony Roberts (Metalgigs owner).

Hello Mud, it's me again, in my misfitting Wellington Boots!!

No Megadeth aren't playing this year, but we are heading off to Donington to catch the likes other M's by way of (Iron) Maiden, Motorhead, and Mastodon, plus many more.  You can check out more info on the festival at the official site here.

From previous years we know...

Metalgigs will be away at Roadburn for the next week.

Site creator Antony will be helping shoot and update the Roadburn website with lots of photos over the festival, so why not head to www.roadburn.com to catch up on what's happening.  This year's line up is amazing as always with Sleep, Yob, Necros Christos, Disembowelment, Agalloch, Ulver, Voivod, The Obsessed, Jesu and many, many more.

We're updating a large section of the site backend at the moment to incorporate the band directory so gigs are not currently being updated.  We will be live with the full site first week of June, in the meantime like our facebook page and follow our twitter to keep up to date with all the latest gig announcements...
