Thrash metal titans Testament may have dropped one of the meanest new albums in a while with Para Bellum last year and they may have a banger of a tour lined up for the U.S. this spring, but they announced an European/U.K. tour earlier today that looks to kick all kinds of ass, too.
Set to run in conjunction with the yearly summer festival season, Testament’s tour cycle for across the pond sees them playing numerous headlining shows with some killer supporting acts. We’re talkin’ Death Angel, Metal Church, Armored Saint, and Hellripper. Come on, now.
The entire run kicks off on June 29 in Antwerp, Belgium and comes to a close on August 16 in Eindhoven, Netherlands. In between, they’ll play venues in Poland, Germany, Sweden, France, and Spain.
You can find the full list of tour dates, along with the U.S. tour dates, below. Tickets for the E.U./U.K. run will go on sale this Monday, February 2 at 10 a.m. CET.
