SABBAT – Black Fire Over Canada 2026

Japanese black/thrash metal legends SABBAT will make their Western Canadian debut this October with three special shows in British Columbia, bringing their uncompromising metal attack to Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver.

The Black Fire Over Canada 2026 run will feature ARES KINGDOM and Canadian speed/thrash veterans WITCHES HAMMER throughout the three-date run, with different local acts joining the lineup in Nanaimo, Victoria and Vancouver.

Formed in 1984, SABBAT are among Japan’s most notorious black/thrash metal acts, and this long-awaited Western Canadian debut promises three nights of old-school metal mayhem.
