The three thrash metal icons are set to play 30 shows.
Testament, Exodus, and Death Angel have announced a 2020 U.S. tour. The trio of thrash metal icons will hit the road for a 30-show trek starting on October 6 at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, CA. After running across the country, The Bay Strikes Back Tour returns to California to wrap up on November 27 at The Fox in Oakland.
General admission tickets for the tour will go on sale on Thursday, July 1 at 10:00 AM local time HERE. Blabbermouth will have a ticket pre-sale starting Tuesday, June 29 at 10 am local until Tuesday, June 29 at 10 pm local (PW: TITANS).
“Finally, we are able to announce this suspended tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Testament’s Eric Peterson. “We are totally excited to get out on the road again and continue where we left off supporting our newest release Titans of Creation! Along with our brothers of thrash Exodus and Death Angel! Get your tickets now! Horns up!”
Exodus guitarist Gary Holt states, “YES! Finally back on the road! This time we are bringing the ‘Bay Strikes Back’ to our own shores with our good friends Testament and Death Angel! To say this is awesome would be an understatement! Cannot wait!”
“At last the wait is over,” Death Angel said in a statement. “We couldn’t be more pleased to announce the continuation of ‘The Bay Strikes Back Tour’ with our brothers Testament and Exodus! This leg takes us across the United States to bring our brand of Bay Area Thrash to live onstage, coming soon to a theater near you. Join us for a long-overdue release of some serious pent-up energy! We’re gonna blow the roof off these joints! Come be a part of these explosive performances. See you soon!”
Before heading out on the tour, Testament are set to perform at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Danville, Virginia on September 9.
