Council Ov Evil Bastards Sydney is set for Saturday, 13 September 2025 at The Vanguard, one of Newtown's most acclaimed live music venues. Hosted in the heart of Sydney's vibrant Inner West, this live metal event promises to deliver an electrifying evening for fans of the underground heavy scene. Tickets are available via Moshtix, the official ticketing company for The Vanguard events, ensuring secure booking and entry for all attendees.

The lineup features Hybrid Nightmares, Miruthan, and Holur – three powerhouses known for pushing the boundaries of progressive extreme metal and death metal in Australia. Hybrid Nightmares, in particular, have cultivated a cult following with their concept albums and immersive stagecraft. Miruthan and Holur bring crushing heaviness and technical riffage, making this Council Ov Evil Bastards Sydney show an essential stop on their national tour circuit. All three acts are celebrated for their relentless live energy, drawing crowds who thrive on the raw power of Sydney's underground scene.

Attendees can expect a night of blistering guitar riffs, growling vocals, and immersive lighting in The Vanguard's intimate yet high-impact setting. The event typically runs from 7:00pm into late, with band merch available and plenty of space for headbanging on the floor. Fans should prepare for a high-decibel experience, meeting like-minded enthusiasts and soaking up the atmosphere of one of Sydney's best alternative live music rooms. The Vanguard's superior acoustics and moody ambience add to the sense of underground spectacle.

The Council Ov Evil Bastards Tour is a recurring showcase of Australia's heaviest acts, with stops in multiple cities. This Sydney edition forms part of a broader national series curated by Brimstone Bookings and Ironjaw Bookings, both trusted names in local metal promotion. Compared to similar shows, this event stands out for featuring a multi-band, all-original lineup that represents the cutting edge of the city's alternative music movement.

Tickets are on sale via Moshtix and advance purchase is strongly advised due to The Vanguard's limited capacity.
