SYSTEM OF A DOWN AND
LINKIN PARK Tribute
We are starting 2026 with a bang with our two biggest tribute bands on the same bill!
Aerials have been packing out Crowbar year after year with their high octane renditions of System of a Down, and they’ll be back to perform their biggest set yet! Expect all the SOAD favourites, along with plenty of rare tunes and a stack of new additions that Aerials never covered in Sydney before, fronted by their phenomenal singer who actually nails that Serj Tankian sound.
Points of Authority are bringing you the old school Linkin Park vibes, performing the Hybrid Theory album from front to back, followed by a selection of Meteora hits. Their dual vocalists deliver both the signature Chester cleans and screams, along with the Shinoda rap flow.
These two tribute bands have sold out Crowbar every time they’ve teamed up for a lineup, so don’t wait long to snatch up your tickets!
Brisbane based 3 piece band Krave are making the trip to Sydney to serve up heavy alt rock riffs, with powerful female vocals and an energetic live show.
Fuzztronica are the lineup’s wildcard act, kicking off the show with their mash up of rock, hip hop, punk, and electronica. Blending incredibly danceable hard rock riffs and out of this world synth sounds, they are sure to blow you away.

Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy anniversary tribute
In 2005 the emo and pop punk realm was blessed with two genre defining albums in the form of Panic! At The Disco’s A Fever You Can’t Sweat and Fall Out Boy’s From Under The Cork Tree. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of these groundbreaking releases, Catastrophe Gigs presents both records performed live in full at Mary’s Underground.
Ruffians are taking on Panic’s debut masterpiece, from the electronica infused pop punk, to the baroque emo anthems, equipped with a horn section and the most Brendon Urie-sounding vocalist you will ever hear. If any band can do A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out justice, it’s this talented bunch from Newcastle, whose own music has taken a heavy dose of inspiration from P!ATD.
Radioactive Man will deliver Fall Out Boy’s sophomore album with the passion and dedication that it deserves, bringing the old FOB live show energy and nailing all the parts on this phenomenal album. Featuring the massive hits like Sugar We’re Going Down, A Little Less Sixteen Candles and Dance Dance, along with heaps of fan favourites, the 2005 release is stacked with iconic emo tunes from start to finish.
Both cover bands have 60 minute slots and will close out their sets with extra Panic and Fall Out Boy hits after playing each album.
