German thrash pillars Kreator have announced plans to embark on a run of European festival dates as well as a handful of special headlining shows under the banner of the Demonic Summer Tour. 

The run is set to begin June 5th at Sweden Rock Festival and include stops at Tallinn Rock Festival in Estonia and Dynamo Metal Fest in the Netherlands to list just a few. The tour will feature a special set of deep cuts from Kreator, performing a setlist of rarities and selections that have not been included live for years - serving as a tribute to the band's lengthy tenure and enduring legacy. 

Additionally, the Demonic Summer run will feature a trio of intimate club dates in the band's home of Germany with supporting sets from Greek extreme metal giants Rotting Christ and American thrash revivalists Warbringer. 

The band shared in a statement of the tour, "Hordes! Join us this summer as we unleash chaos onto Europe’s biggest festival stages AND bring our deep cuts setlist to three EXCLUSIVE club shows in Germany with Rotting Christ and Warbringer. 

These intimate club gigs and special festival sets will be a celebration of our legacy, showcasing songs we haven’t performed live in years. If you’ve ever wanted to hear those hidden gems, now’s your chance!"
