Kings Of Thrash recently announced their “Anarchy In The UK” tour with special guests Andry and Hellgrimm. The tour is set to kick off on October 24th and run until November 2nd. The tour will feature none other than Grammy-winning bassist David Ellefson and guitarist Jeff Young, drummer Fred Aching and singer/guitarist Chaz Leon.
The tour promises to be an electrifying experience for fans as Kings Of Thrash makes its UK debut, paying tribute to the birthplace of heavy metal. This tour has special significance as it coincides with the 30th anniversary of the band’s groundbreaking album Youthanasia, which was certified platinum (US) and gold (UK) and represents a milestone in Ellefson’s illustrious career.
“We are absolutely thrilled to finally bring Kings Of Thrash to the UK, in many ways the origins of heavy metal,” said David Ellefson. “Even more so as we celebrate some highlights of the 30th anniversary of the album ‘Youthanasia’. The UK has been a fantastic supporter of our music for over 40 years, so it will be great to bring our fans rare tracks and highlights from some of the most monumental albums in thrash metal history.”
Jeff Young says: “I can’t wait to get back to the UK! The last time I played there was with Megadeth at Castle Donington in 1988 at the Monsters of Rock festival, so this return is long overdue!”
In addition to celebrating the Youthanasia anniversary, the tour will also feature selected pieces from “Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good, So Far…So Good… So What!” and “Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?”, promising an unforgettable experience for both long-time fans and newcomers.
The Anarchy In The UK tour is a testament to the Kings Of Thrash’s enduring legacy and their tireless commitment to delivering stirring performances that captivate audiences worldwide.
