Thrash lifers Testament have confirmed a spring tour schedule that will coincide with the 35th anniversary of their third full length studio album, Practice What You Preach. The tour begins April 30th in Tucson, AZ and closes out May 25th at the House of Blues in San Diego.
Additionally, the band will perform at major US festivals including Sonic Temple in Columbus, OH on May 9th, Welcome to Rockville on May 18th in Daytona Beach, FL. and have recently been confirmed for Louder Than Life festival in September in Louisville, KY.
The tour being dubbed, 'An Evening with Testament' frames the thrash legends as songwriters and storytellers, revisiting the music and the lasting memories from the seminal 1989 release. Testament frontman Chcuk Billy shared, “We are getting ready to Practice What WE Preach across the US this May. We will be performing the album 'Practice What You Preach', we will tell stories and play a few acoustic tunes and finish out with a best of deep cuts. This will be an evening with Testament you don’t want to miss, Horns Up!”
Testament guitarist Eric Petersen also weighed in on the news. "This will be a night to remember! Like all of our shows, we have a great time, but an evening with Testament will mean just that! Story telling, deep cuts never before heard, plus Practice What You Preach was a milestone for us, and now will be performed in its entirety. We’ll have some cool tales to tell about the making the record and where we were at during that time in our career."
Petersen added, "'Practice What You Preach' was our third full length Major Label Release and our most commercially successful album and, at that time – our biggest selling album ever- when records were actually being sold. We're looking forward to bring some of our classics in an acoustic set to go along with songs you’ve probably wanted to hear forever that we never did, but will do in the 'Evening with Testament'!”
