Queensland, get ready. One of Australias true heavy metal pioneers is back for a rare coast-side throwdown
Formed in Melbourne in 1979, Bengal Tigers helped forge the early Aussie heavy metal sound, blending classic riffs and NWOBHM energy into a live show built for diehards. After returning to the stage in 2024 and reigniting the fire on tour, they dropped Cry Havoc (2025), a hard-hitting release that captures the iconic Tigers sound while winning new fans worldwide.
