Gather ’round, young warriors, now and saddle up your steeds; Newfoundland’s Metallica tribute band, Metal Militia, has announced a show at the Rock House.
Metal Militia has been playing shows between St. John’s and Corner Brook since 2019. The band brings an incredible variety of hits like “Master of Puppets” and “Enter Sandman.” They also play some deep cuts that Metallica themselves have seemingly forgotten about, such as “Jump In The Fire” — a song that has only been played four times since November 2010, and not once since April 2016.
The band played last in Corner Brook in December, 2025, drawing their setlist from various albums like Kill ‘Em All and ReLoad. This time around, the band is promising a show featuring songs from Kill ‘Em All to the self-titled Black Album.
As of right now, Metal Militia appears to be the sole act on the bill. Organized by Steady Entertainment, the show is scheduled for May 9, 2026. This is a 19+ event, and the band will take the Rock House stage at 9 pm.
This is a great event for rock and metal fans to sing and mosh to the songs from one of the most influential metal bands on the planet. It also serves as a great warm-up for the coming of Canadian rock band Three Days Grace, who will play a two-night run of shows at the Mary Brown’s Centre just a few days later on May 11.
It is an absolute can’t-miss night for not only metal fans, but music fans in general, and some might say it has the potential to be the biggest show at the Rock House this year.
Advance tickets are on sale now, starting at $35.
