Onslaught have announced a European tour starting in September.
The thrash metal veterans celebrate the 30th anniversary of their second record The Force this November.
The band will also headline Titanfest at the Tufnell Park Dome on November 19 – which organisers scheduled especially to coincide with the album milestone.
Guitarist Nige Rokett says: “Onslaught are super-stoked to be headlining Titanfest 2016. The lineup for this year’s festival is really cool, with lots of diversity, but with one common theme – great British metal. We’re looking forward to another awesome show in London.”
Onslaught will be supported by Mors Principium Est, No Return and Blaakyum on their mainland dates – followed by Beholder and Anihilated on the UK and Ireland shows in November.
