New York thrash metal behemoths Anthrax have announced a tour to celebrate their 40th anniversary. Tickets for all UK shows go on sale at 10am on Friday 20 August.

Their latest album For All Kings was released in 2016, and was praised for its raw commitment to the fundamentals of the metal genre.
Drummer Charlie Benante says, 'Being that we can't get over there until 2022, we're going to make sure that every show will be an eventful one.
'We won't just be playing four decades of songs to celebrate our ongoing 40th anniversary – hey, we'll be giving YOU some history! – but we just might have some brand new ones for you as well. Can't wait to see all your happy, smiling faces!!!'
