..man, glad to hear/see both Anthrax and Exodus are STILL on top of their game! To see 2/3 of the 'Headbangers Ball' tour (1989) in action again, was really a treat.
I'm not very familiar with Black Label Society, but they served as a good 'interim' band. Zakk Wylde and crew showcased their style and abilities rather impressively..
Anaheim, CA@City National Grove Of AnaheimThe show was unbelievable. House of Blues makes you feel like you are part of the show. They did a video tribute to the band that got the crowd so pumped up for Anthrax. The band went full throttle from the first cord to the last. It's really noticeable how appreciative bands are about being able to hit the road and play in front of a live audience. House of Blues puts you right in the mix and creates such an energy from both the band and fans that you can almost touch it.
Boston, MA@House Of Blues BostonVenue was pretty convenient given that’s it’s in the city. Modem and clean
Most importantly, all 3 bands brought it and out on a great show. I’ve seen Anthrax on festival bills but seeing them headline and put on a full show was great. So much energy and great songs.
Chicago, IL@Radius ChicagoSimply one of the finest thrash metal bands in the world, doing what they do best. It's a first for me watching Anthrax live tonight (why it's taken me 40 years to do it, I'll never know) and a first gig ever for my son, who's just 15. Anthrax smash it for at least two generations tonight.
It's pounding, intense and relentless. Even from the back of the room, frenzied mosh pit in close proximity in front, the sound batters you. Most of the Anthrax standards are there and it's an absolute joy for me to scream out 'I Am The Law' and 'Efilniklufesin' as the years roll away again.
I'm a teenager again, loving Anthrax. I look at my son, ecstatic and grinning. He knows how I feel.
Nottingham, United Kingdom@Rock CityVenue is AMAZING! Sound was GREAT. Sworn Enemy was great opener, than Municipal Waste, fast and furious! Than come Anthrax... This is their 40th year in the business. So many great albums, so many great songs. They could and they should have set of 20+ songs for at least two hours show, as this tour was only in UK with 8 concerts.
Apart from sound and delivery, which was great, I was and I am extremely disappointed in setlist!

This was my fifth or sixth Anthrax concert, I've lost count, and at all those shows they are playing 5 songs from Among The living?!?!? Hello! This is not 1987! There are lots of great songs you should play! From Persistence Of Time just one song!?!?!? From State Of Euphoria one cover!?!??! Same for Worship Music!?!??! From the actual album NOT A SINGLE ONE?!?!?!?
For me this is not celebration of 40 years long career, it was once again celebration of Among The Living!!! Guys move on!!!! I am sick of those songs!! I have payed 45 pounds for a ticket at I got once again 5 same old songs from Among The Living?!?!? This is robbery and insult to the fans!!!

I've been a fan of Anthrax since the mid-90's, and this was my first time seeing them live. What an incredible experience! Amazing performance! Incredible introduction.
I also brought my 15 year old son and this was his first concert ever, and he's a newly minted Anthrax fan. I'm so proud to see this music pass down to a younger generation. He even caught a guitar pick at the end.
From Philly with love, we thank you Anthrax!
Philadelphia, PA@The Fillmore PhiladelphiaIt is hard to rate a show that did not fully happen. Hatebreed was very good. Energy was intense. Then, the stage "broke".
Due to a safety issue, their set was shortened. No other bands played. Refund is expected per gentleman who made the announcement on stage.
How do you rate something that did not get to be completed?
How do you take emotions out of the rating system and make it a low score because your disappointed you missed the remaining bands?
It would have been nice if the gentleman who made the announcement would have let everyone know the reason why it was cancelled.
I would go and see any of the bands again. This does not change my opinion.
Thank you.
Rochester, NY@Rochester Main Street ArmoryAnthrax sounded great! Definitely a “must see” even if you’re not a big fan.
It’s notable that we heard one song written after 2015. They’ve put out great albums in the last decade. But, this was fine since the show celebrates this epic band’s 40th birthday.
Love the venue. Cincy did a great job with the venue update.
Cincinnati, OH@The Andrew J Brady Music CenterAdmittedly I was bummed that Anthrax cancelled. That's putting it lightly. Ive wanted to see them for ages. However, I completely understand that health is more important in some cases. Musicians are people too.
Hatbreed played Bonded by Blood by Exodus in tribute to them and that got me out of the funk I had when I got to the venue. The killed it. BLS annihilated the show. Entrance, sound, solo battle, most bad ass fist bump of all time. Will see them both again.
Pits were gnarly.
Look forward to hopefully seeing Anthrax in the future.
Austin, TX@Stubbs BBQWas the greatest show I have seen in a long time
And then Chuck D to join them on stage for Bring the noise at the end was fantastic. I thought it was a little short for they had a slew of songs that needed to be heard.
Los Angeles, CA@Hollywood PalladiumAbsolutely brilliant set from one of the best thrash metal bands of all time. I definitely got got in a mosh 🤣🤘🏻 but it was the Warrior dance that I enjoyed the most couldn’t of wished for a better support band for Slayer but I’d gladly go see Anthrax on their own tour.

I CAN KEEP GOING ALL DAY BUT ALL YOU YOUNGSTERS ARE ALREADY LOST AND ONLY KNOW WHO METALLICA AND SLAYER ARE
Auburn, WA@White River AmphitheatreThe show was phenomenal! Anthrax and their team went beyond what would be expected of anyone for a VIP experience. I can't say enough on how that experience is worth the extra money! If you have the opportunity to get tickets and VIP passes I highly recommend it. Anthrax rules! 😘🤘
Minneapolis, MN@ArmoryAnthrax is still holding strong, they played all the crowd-pleasers, plus weaved in the new album which kept the crowd riled up.
Killswitch Engage was high-energy “new” Metal that’s got the whole crowd fired up. I wasn’t as familiar with their catalog, but was blown away.
Still not used to shows that start at 6:45p, so I missed Havok, unfortunately, but have seen them before and everyone I talked to was saying that their set was great.
The venue is one of my favorite as a relative-newcomer to Minneapolis, and reminds me of The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco.
Cons: The Security guards need to lighten up when 400 people stream out between bands for a cigarette or fresh air and keep them contained in a pen made from police barricades when there’s two feet of fresh powder on the sidewalk.

Great show \,,/ also VIP meet & greet! Only2 small things Lights were a little brutal on eyes hard to see anything on stage, and way too hot! But otherwise seen ANTHRAX 10 times since 1988 (3 times this year in 9 months ) had most fun last night! KILLSWITCH! \,,/ killed it\,,/
Portland, OR@Roseland Theater
The show was Kick Ass! Kind of bummed that Charlie was out sick so Jon Dette filled in. Charlie is one of my favorite drummers! The pit was pretty crazy for both Kill and Thrax! Loved Indians and I am the Law most. A+++ Show.... You cant beat the Marquee for these shows
Tempe, AZ@The Marquee
Anthrax was alright, enjoyable. This coming from someone who knew none of their songs. I was there for other bands. The venue was fine but they need to solve the parking/road access after the show because it's absolutely ridiculous, I wouldn't go back there unless it was a band I could not miss.
Auburn, WA@White River Apmphitheater
Anthrax still has it! It was a disappointingly short set (they weren't the headliner so their time was limited) but it was a solid set. They kicked things off with Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't which was a great way to start things off. They covered the big ones off their classic albums (Caught In A Mosh, Indians, Antisocial, Got The Time), played the Dio/Dimebag tribute In The End, and then a couple of new songs off their forthcoming new album For All Kings. A great show. It just needed to be longer.

Well....The concert was good . The place the Gasometer halle is really good. Kvereltak was very powerful but I think too loud. Anthrax had a better sound . Slayer ! Yes! My favourite band! I think the bands gave everything to entertain us.
Wien, Austria@Planet.tt Bank Austria Halle Gasometer B
crobot was ok. not my thing but they were good. Anthrax was phenomenal, as always. I did expect a longer set from them. they played mostly the classics: Indians, mad house, etc. volbeat headlined. my friends I went with didn't care for them but I thought they were spot on. Michael can sing.
