Nuclear Blast announces the US leg of The Bay Strikes Back Tour, featuring thrash legends Testament (pictured above), Exodus, and Death Angel. The 30-date trek will kick off on October 6 at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, CA and will make stops in Austin, New York, and Detroit before concluding at The Fox in Oakland on November 27.

Testament's Eric Peterson comments, "Finally we are able to announce this suspended tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic! We are totally excited to get out on the road again and continue where we left off supporting our newest release Titans of Creation! Along with our brothers of thrash Exodus and Death Angel! Get your tickets now! Horns up!!!!!"

Exodus' Gary Holt states. "YES!! Finally back on the road! This time we are bringing the Bay Strikes Back to our own shores with our good friend's Testament and Death Angel! To say this is awesome would be an understatement! Cannot wait!!"

Death Angel comments. "At last the wait is over!  We couldn’t be more pleased to announce the continuation of The Bay Strikes Back Tour with our brothers Testament and Exodus! This leg takes us across the United States to bring our brand of Bay Area Thrash to live onstage, coming soon to a theater near you. Join us for a long-overdue release of some serious pent-up energy!  We’re gonna blow the roof off these joints! Come be a part of these explosive performances. See you soon!"
