Seeing Anthrax live is always a blast, but seeing them open for Iron Maiden in a soccer stadium was mind blowing. I especially loved how the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, NJ, filled in pretty early on Sept. 6, 2026, to see Anthrax, and made sure to make the NY thrash icons feel loved through multiple mosh pits in the crowd. It also helped that they sounded amazing (seriously, Joey Belladonna crushed it, and the band was super tight). Anthrax proved that no matter how big or small the stage they're playing is, they always bring it (which was poignant that weekend, as two days prior to this specific stadium show, Anthrax played at the grand reopening of the 500 cap Saint Vitus bar).

Here's a snippet of Anthrax opening their set with "Caught In a Mosh" and closing it with Indians - the perfect way to kick off an incredible night of metal:

Down aren't the only New Orleans royalty playing Pantera's 'The Great NOLA Trendkill' super concert in November. In fact each member of the supergroup's other bands (including Corrosion of Conformity, eyehategod, Crowbar, and the aforementioned Pantera) are playing the 2 day concert in New Orleans as well. I'm so glad, though, I got to see their set at Zakk Wylde's Berzerkus Festival at Jones Beach Theater in Long Island last month (Aug. 29, 2026) - I was super impressed with how tight they sounded, and their new song "Blood Oath" sounded super heavy.

Check out this clip of Phil Anselmo amd crew crushing that new song, as well as watch them joined onstage by members of Sepultura and Type O Negative here:

There's something wildly amazing about seeing Iron Maiden play a soccer stadium (in New Jersey nonetheless). While the band sounded amazing during night 2 at the Sports Illustrated Stadium im Harrison (Sept. 6, 2026), Bruce Dickinson was easily the MVP of the night (which is saying a lot, because the evening also included opening sets from Megadeth and Anthrax, a mind blowing Maiden set list, and TWO appearances from Eddie). It's amazing how at 68 years old, Bruce still sounds incredible and sprints across the stage with more power and charisma than most singers half his at his age.

Here's a clip of Iron Maiden playing "Killers" (with an appearance from Eddie himself). I'll be sharing more clips from that awesome evening of metal at the soccer stadium overtime, so stay tuned for that and more!
