Blabbermouth reports that John Bush will headline a run of European shows in summer 2027 called the "European Stomp Tour 27," performing material from the four ANTHRAX albums he sang on, with a mix of festival and club dates.
According to Blabbermouth.
Blabbermouth reports that vocalist John Bush has announced his first-ever European headline run, billed as the "European Stomp Tour 27," scheduled for summer 2027. The announcement initially lists six countries – the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, Hungary and Austria – but the full itinerary in the same release includes additional dates in the Czech Republic, Belgium and the Netherlands, so the tour covers more territories than the opening summary suggests.
Bush will perform material from the four ANTHRAX albums he recorded with the band: Sound Of White Noise, Stomp 442, Volume 8: The Threat Is Real and We've Come For You All. The press text says the setlist will mix well-known anthems with deeper cuts that have not been played live in years.
The schedule combines festival appearances and headlining club shows. The announced dates include festival slots such as Wacken Open Air (July 30), Brutal Assault (August 5), Motocultor (August 21) and Summer Breeze (August 19), alongside club dates including Electric Ballroom in London (August 14) and Plaza Club in Zurich (August 10). The release provides a full list of cities and specific dates.
The announcement also notes Bush revisited this material at three U.S. shows in December 2025 and at the Milwaukee Metalfest in June 2026. For those performances he was joined onstage by CATEGORY 7 members Phil Demmel, Mike Orlando and Jason Bittner, with Joey Vera on bass; the release states CATEGORY 7 bassist Jack Gibson was unavailable due to a scheduling conflict.
