Armored Saint will join Metal Church for a North American co-headlining tour this Fall! “The Metal Saint Tour 2026” will commence on November 2nd in San Juan Capistrano, California and runs through November 21st in Agoura Hills, California. Additional support will be provided by LiveKill.
Comments Armored Saint vocalist John Bush, “Two classic metal bands from the ‘80s on tour together doing headline sets and both with brand new awesome records out [Armored Saint with Emotion Factory Reset and Metal Church with Dead To Rights]. If you call yourself a metalhead and you don’t come to this show when we roll into your town, you better have a damn good excuse. AS and MC. Let’s do this!”
Comments Metal Church guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof, “It’s incredibly exciting to be getting back on the road with our friends and an honor to be sharing the stage with one of America’s finest metal bands! Definitely a show you won’t want to miss!”
