Anvil Announce Eastern U.S. Tour Dates

Weirdly specific conspiracy theorist Steve “Lips” Kudlow and his band, Canadian speed metal legends Anvil, are launching out on a tour of the eastern United States this April. Coming along with them will be New Jersey-based metal darlings Midnite Hellion and, in a move that’s unusual for a metal band, the other opener is a comedian rather than a band, namely comedian Don Jamieson.

On their official Facebook page, Midnite Hellion hyped the tour, saying:

“MIDNITE HELLION is hitting the road with Anvil and Don Jamieson. The three-pronged metal monster package will be trekking through the eastern half of the US in April and May of ’25.

“We love touring, and we love touring with our friends. Anvil and Midnite Hellion have become a must-see package. With Don Jamieson along for the ride, the fans are in for a treat every night!

“Midnite Hellion has expanded, and we absolutely cannot wait to unleash the new power! Get ready for a show like you have never seen or heard before!”

Meanwhile, Jamieson simply wrote on Instagram:

“Thrilled to be back on the road with my friends in Anvil!”
