Pioneering metal band Anthrax set for London gig
 

Legendary American heavy metal pioneers Anthrax will be hitting London this year as part of a world tour, it has been confirmed.

The band, who were one of the originators of thrash metal, will appear at the O2 Academy in Islington on 15 March, in a concert sure to attract a large amount of UK based fans.

Formed in 1981, the band endured turbulent beginnings, chopping and changing members before finally settling on a steady line-up, which laid the foundations for their success over the years.

Despite going through seven lead singers, the band can fall back on a number of classics to justify each decision, including albums such as Among the Living and Sound of White Noise.  

Renowned for their pioneering steps into uniting metal with other musical genres such as rap, Anthrax are a band not to be missed and will provide the perfect live music experience. Combine the concert with a stay at one of the fine hostels in London, a great base to rest your head after the gig.
