Metal United World Wide is returning once again in 2023! After several successful years, with exception during that pandemic we’d all rather forget, Metal United World Wide is continuing its quest to unify metalheads around the globe.
This year on September 30th, metal bands and fans across the world will once again converge on venues to celebrate the greatest genre of music there is. In case you have been sleeping on this incredible concept, let’s get you up to speed.
In 2014, Michael Lüders bought to life Metal United Down Under. This involved 14 shows across Australia being hosted on the same night, under the Metal United banner. Nine years on, the event has cemented itself within the Aussie heavy scene, and year after year, bands and fans gather on a specified date to give the country a taste of metal. Some say the rumbling of bass amps, and thundering of double kicks can be heard from the remotest of remote cattle stations in the outback*. (*possibly be a complete fabrication)
As if this project wasn’t ambitious enough, Michael set his sights on going bigger. If Australia could be united by metal, why couldn’t the world? And thus, Metal United World Wide was born. In 2018, Metal United World Wide made it’s debut, being hosted in a staggeringly impressive 43 countries, with 64 cities presenting shows, and around 400 bands participating.
MUWW 2023 is gearing up to be as momentous as its predecessors, holding fast with its objective of overcoming distances between the widespread individual communities of the world of metal. On September 30, 2023, metalheads the world over will be gathering to hail the metal, and bands from across the spectrum of metal subgenres will showcase their talents.
The MUWW team are tirelessly, but excitedly, working away in preparation for this year’s event. You’re probably thinking by now, “This sounds so badass, I wish I were involved!” and you can be! If you’d like to jump aboard the event as an organiser, media partner or supporter, let us know! After all, unity is the vibe we’re all about, and we encourage everyone with a love for metal to participate and contribute.
There are so many exciting details yet to be revealed. MUWW 2023 is coming, and you’re going to want to be ready for it!
