ANNIHILATOR ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN HEADLINING TOUR


Thanks to the demand of metal fans across Europe, Metal legends ANNIHILATOR are proud to announce a much-anticipated headline tour in Europe this fall. The band has just returned from a hugely successful European summer festival trip, playing to hundreds of thousands of real metal fans at festivals like Sonisphere, Masters Of Rock, Hellfest, Kavarna Rock and others. Fan Footage of the last show in Bulgaria can be seen here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6hqMjxDdA

Also of note, ANNIHILATOR have signed up with Steve Strange at XRAY Touring (www.xraytouring.com).  Says Steve (agency director and Annihilator’s agent, also Eminem, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Queens of the Stone Age): “I am very proud to be working with ANNIHILATOR as their International booking agent and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with them. This is one band that you must see live.”

ANNIHILATOR mastermind and guitar legend Jeff Waters comments: “First off, it was an honor to play for so many incredible metal fans this summer. Seeing our good friends in bands and crews from around the world was a bonus. Secondly, I need to thank Steve at XRAY Touring for taking ANNIHILATOR on. His support is giving us opportunities we’ve not seen before. Lastly, for all you Euro-metal fans, get ready! We are going to give 110% for you, as you are the reason that ANNIHILATOR is still going strong and even stronger than ever: Thanks to the fans!!”
