A week after we raised our swords to the 25th anniversary of Manowar’s landmark album Kings of Metal, the upstate New York metal band announced a string of dates in their home country. The only issue is that the nine date swing ignores the Northeast entirely, kicking off in Michigan and ending in California. From there, the band heads to Russia and northern Europe.
“We are excited to tour on American soil again!” says bassist Joey Demaio in a presser. “Our American fans have loyally stood with us, united as one. Many of them have traveled across the continent and even to Europe to celebrate with us. These shows will be unforgettable, massive feasts of True Metal with everyone’s favorite MANOWAR hymns!”
On these dates, Manowar will perform the full Kings Of Metal MMXIV album along with other classics from their catalog.
We’re pretty sure the last time Manowar were in New England, they played Worcester. Hopefully, they come back this way later in 2014. Here are the full dates…
