Thrash greats Testament, Exodus and Death Angel have announced "The Bay Strikes Back" tour which will have them out together this fall. "Finally we are able to announce this suspended tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic," writes Testament's Eric Peterson. "We are totally excited to get out on the road again and continue where we left off...Horns up!!!!!"
You may recall all three bands were on the 2020 European "Bay Strikes Back" tour when members from all three bands contracted COVID. Testament were also originally set to tour North America in spring of 2020 with The Black Dahlia Murder and Municipal Waste.
