There are a whole lot of great metal shows lined up for the last half of the year, just check out the gig guide to see what I mean (the front page only shows the closest 10 upcoming shows).
Not only are there some cool nights of local and Australian metal, but there are tours out the wazoo! With bands like Behemoth (with Hour of Penance), Enslaved, Amorphis, Soilwork, Sleep.. and that’s basically just October!
