Formed in New York City in 1981, Anthrax is considered one of the pioneers of the thrash metal subgenre.

"It’s been about four years since we last toured the UK AND Europe, so these dates ARE LONG overdue!” said the band. “We can’t wait to bring the noise to you, and maybe surprise you with a song from our brand new album coming later this year. So get ready to rage friends, this time, we ARE coming!!”

“This is possibly the most irresistible thrash package ever put together,” added Kreator, who were formed in Essen, Germany, in 1982.

“These will be some of our biggest shows in Europe, so we are bringing a huge production and plan to tear it up every show!”

Tickets to the Dublin show start from €72.20 and go on sale this Friday at 10am via ticketmaster.ie.
