Billy Strings Reveals He-Man Theme & Guests For 2026 Halloween Show In Baltimore

Billy Strings will bring the world of He-Man to Baltimore’s CFG Bank Arena this Halloween. Billed as “Heartbeat Of Eternia,” the October 31 concert will feature five special guests joining Strings and his band for the latest installment of their themed Halloween tradition.

Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, Alwyn Robinson, Chris Sterr and Jimmy Olson will participate in the show. The announcement artwork also lists Strings’ regular bandmates: fiddler Alex Hargreaves, banjoist Billy Failing, mandolinist Jarrod Walker and bassist Royal Masat.

“By the power of grayskull!! We have the music!!” Strings wrote on social media. He promised “a night of tunes that would make the sorceress proud,” adding, “Dust off your power sword and unleash your inner battle cat!! Eternia awaits!!!”

The announcement arrived with artwork modeled on vintage Masters Of The Universe toy packaging and a soundtrack featuring guitarist Ozielzinho’s electric guitar interpretation of the He-Man theme. Check out the announcement below:

Strings’ Halloween productions have incorporated costumes, special guests and setlists tied to each year’s theme. Past celebrations drew from The Wizard Of Oz in 2021 and The Lord Of The Rings in 2022 before the guitarist staged the wrestling-themed Van Andel Scramble in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2023. Both Tuttle and Hull were among the guests at the wrestling extravaganza.

Baltimore became the setting for Strings’ Halloween festivities in 2024, when “O Billy, Where Art Thou?” brought the Coen brothers’ film to the stage with participants from the movie and its soundtrack. Last year’s Universal Monsters-inspired “Meet Me At The Crypt” featured Strings as The Wolf Man, Robinson on drums and an assortment of cover debuts.

The Halloween concert follows an October 30 show at CFG Bank Arena. Both nights are sold out. Watch a livestream with a nugs subscription.
