Testament Announce U.S. Tour for the 35th Anniversary of ‘Practice What You Preach’
Thrash metal titans Testament have announced a string of special shows for later this spring that fans — especially those that enjoy the 1989 album Practice What You Preach. Dubbed the ‘A Night With…” tour, this special run of shows will feature special setlists chock full of deep cuts and clasissic ballads along the way.
Set to kick off on April 30 in Tucson and coming to a close on May 25 in San Diego, with stops along the way taking place in Brooklyn, Baltimore, Milwaukee, and more.
Speaking of the tour, vocalist Chuck Billy gave some more detail about what fans should expect on this run.
“We are getting ready to ‘Practice What You Preach’ across the U.S. this May. We will be performing the album ‘Practice What You Preach’, telling stories, playing a few acoustic tunes, and finishing out with the best of deep cuts. This will be an evening with Testament you don’t want to miss! Horns Up!”
Similarly, guitarist Eric Peterson said fans will not want to miss these shows.
“This will be a night to remember! We’ll have some cool tales to tell about making the record, and where we were at that time in our career. ‘Practice What You Preach’ was our third full-length, major label release and our most commercially successful album at that time. We’ll be playing songs you’ve probably wanted to hear forever that we never did, but will do in the ‘Evening With Testament’!”
