The joint co-headliner tour planned for this year by Kreator and Lamb Of God had to be postponed for known reasons. Now the bands are announcing the new dates for 2021.
The legendary German metal band Kreator and their colleagues Lamb Of God from the USA had planned a joint co-headliner tour through Europe for 2020. The Corona pandemic prevented this endeavor. Now both bands have announced the dates for a rescheduling of the so-called "State Of Unrest" tour. Kreator frontman Mille Petrozza: "Better late than never! We are very happy that we finally have good news for our wonderful and patient fan community. After our tour could not take place in March and April, we had hoped to make it up at the end of this year. That will not be possible either. We will make up the tour in 2021. With a new album, new production, and together with Lamb Of God and their current album."
Mark Morton, guitarist of Lamb Of God, is also looking forward to the new dates: "Even though it will now be later than we hoped, we are extremely happy that we can now confirm the new live dates for 2021. We can’t wait to return to the stages of Europe with our friends from Kreator and Power Trip."
Some concert venues had to be changed. Among other things, the obligatory Ruhrpott stop for a tour involving Kreator has been moved to the legendary Grugahalle in Kreator's hometown of Essen. Some dates are newly added. Tickets already purchased for the 2020 dates of the tour remain valid. Tickets are now available everywhere tickets are sold. Kreator and Lamb Of God can take Power Trip as the support band as originally planned.
The dates for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland:
26.11.2021 Berlin, Columbiahalle
27.11.2021 Leipzig, Haus Auensee (newly added)
28.11.2021 Munich, Zenith
30.11.2021 CH-Zurich, Samsung Hall
03.12.2021 Ludwigsburg, MHP-Arena
04.12.2021 Hamburg, edel-optics.de Arena (moved from Sporthalle, Hamburg)
05.12.2021 Saarbrücken, Saarlandhalle
10.12.2021 Wiesbaden, Schlachthof
11.12.2021 Essen, Grugahalle (moved from Turbinenhalle, Oberhausen)
Kreator's current studio album, "Gods Of Violence", was released in January 2017 and immediately reached number 1 on the German album charts. In February 2020, the live album "London Apocalypticon – Live at the Round House" was released. In March 2020, Kreator released a brand new single titled "666 - World Divided".
Lamb Of God released their current self-titled studio album in June 2020. It is the first album by the band from Richmond, Virginia, to climb into the top 10 of the German album charts.
