MEGABUSTER: ALL AGES METAL CONCERT
Saturday May 30th, 2026 @9:00 - 11:00 in Main Events
Power metal forged in pixel fire.
Five joystick rebels unleash the ultimate fusion: blazing prog-power riffs, 8-bit nostalgia, and anime-level intensity. Born from Final Fantasy soundtracks, cheat-code fury, and infinite E-Tanks, MEGABUSTER doesn’t just play video game music – they respawn it. Riffs that slam harder than Dark Souls. Solos faster than Sonic on infinite rings. Keyboards dialled to 300% pulverization. Every track is a power-up, every live show a full raid, every fan a party member in the boss battle. Transforming classic OSTs into majestic, face-melting prog-metal anthems. This band already started in New Game+ mode – armed with memes, mayhem, and pure 32-bit destruction.
Your weekend pass includes access to CaperCon’s first all ages metal concert featuring MegaBuster. Loud, live, and already included. No pass? No problem! Entry is $10 with every dollar being donated to Horizon Achievement Centre.
