Mayhem and Marduk Play Belgrade Tonight, Swedes Open
The Death Over Europe Part II tour stops in Belgrade tonight, and the first batch of tickets sold out in under 24 hours.
Exactly one hour and twenty minutes separates the two starts of tonight’s concert at Zappa Barka: Marduk takes the stage at 8:00 p.m., and Mayhem follows at 9:20 p.m. Doors open at 7:00 p.m., so anyone who wants to catch both bands from the first note to the last needs to be inside before the first wall of guitars starts.
Norway’s Mayhem and Sweden’s Marduk play on Saturday, October 3, 2026, as part of the Death Over Europe Part II tour. The schedule was published yesterday, and the evening looks like this:
- 7:00 p.m., doors open
- 8:00 p.m., Marduk
- 9:20 p.m., Mayhem
How Much Is Entry, and Are There Tickets Left?
A presale ticket costs 4,900 dinars, and on the day of the concert it is 5,500 dinars, but only if any remain by then. According to the portal Headliner, the early bird tickets sold out in less than 24 hours. The daily Danas, in an earlier preview, reported that early bird tickets cost 4,300 dinars and could be bought through the Hangtime website.
The sources also disagree about printed tickets. Danas wrote in its preview that they would soon be available, while Headliner says they are already on sale at Katakombe bar and Zappa bar. Anyone counting on the box office at the door should check with one of those two venues to see whether anything is left.
Who Are Mayhem and Marduk?
Mayhem was formed in 1984 in Norway and is counted among the key bands of the second wave of Norwegian black metal. The albums “Deathcrush” and “De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas” remain genre landmarks, and later releases, among them “Grand Declaration of War”, “Ordo Ad Chao”, “Esoteric Warfare” and “Daemon”, show that the band has not stuck to a single sound in more than four decades. According to figures cited by Danas, Mayhem has played nearly a thousand concerts in more than 60 countries, and the current tour marks 40 years of the band. The lineup is Necrobutcher on bass, Hellhammer on drums, Attila Csihar on vocals, and Teloch and Ghul on guitars.
Marduk is six years younger. It was formed in 1990 in Norrkoping, Sweden, and took its name from a Babylonian deity. The founder, Morgan Steinmeyer Hakansson, known as Evil, wanted from the start to build one of the most radical bands of his generation, and over its career the band has released 15 studio albums in a sound that mixes black and death metal. Alongside Morgan, the permanent lineup includes vocalist Mortuus, whose real name is Daniel Rosten and who is also the founder of Funeral Mist, and drummer Bloodhammer.
Belgrade audiences have not had a chance to see Marduk for a long time: according to Danas, the Swedish band returns to the local stage after seven years. Mayhem, as the same previews put it, is the headliner this time, so the running order is clear and known in advance: the older band closes, the younger one opens, and there is enough time between them to get to the bar and back.
