Veteran metal vocalist John Bush will present a special run of live performances in December 2025 showcasing the music he helped create during his decade-long tenure as the frontman of Anthrax.
Bush will perform songs from all four albums he recorded with the band: “Sound of White Noise” (1993), “Stomp 442” (1995), “Volume 8: The Threat Is Real” (1998) and “We’ve Come for You All” (2003).
“I’ve talked about doing this for a long time—and now, I’m finally doing it,” Bush said. “Fans constantly tell me how much those records meant to them and how they miss hearing those songs live. It’s very humbling. The wait is over.”
The set list will include the well-known anthems and deeper cuts that haven’t been performed live in years.
Tour dates:
December 13th – Los Angeles, CA @ Whisky A-Go-Go
December 18th – St. Charles, IL @ Arcada Theatre
December 20th – New York, NY @ Racket
Joining Bush on stage will be his Category 7 bandmates: Phil Demmel, Mike Orlando and Jason Bittner, along with his longtime Armored Saint partner and best friend Joey Vera on bass (Category 7 bassist Jack Gibson has a schedule conflict).
“These guys are incredible, badass musicians, and it hit me—why look anywhere else?” Bush said. “They’re already right here. It was a total no-brainer.”
Category 7 will open each night with its own set before returning as his backing band for the Anthrax material.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. local time Friday, Aug. 1.
In addition to his time with Anthrax, John Bush has fronted metal band Armored Saint since its inception in 1982.
