STEEL PANTHER is back to melt your face (and possibly your ethics) one last time stateside before they jet off to corrupt Europe. Their “Feel The Steel 15th Anniversary Tour” is dropping a final round of U.S. gigs, because apparently, America hasn’t had enough spandex-related incidents yet. Kicking off in Vegas on August 16 (because OF COURSE it does) and crumbling to a close in Kansas City on September 20, this chaos caravan hits Anaheim, Biloxi, and even Charles Town, West Virginia—wherever that is. Tickets go live June 6. Pray for your credit card.

Meanwhile, Europe’s about to get STEEL-IFIED. The boys start their overseas rampage June 16 in Glasgow, roll into sold-out London on June 17 (no surprises there—you guys are hardcore), and wrap July 6 in Geiselwind, Germany. Oh, and they’ll also crash festivals like Download (UK), Lisää Löylyä (Finland—say that three times fast), Tons Of Rock (Norway), and Rockmaraton (Hungary). Pack your leather pants and duct tape.
Fun fact: Seven months ago, their debut album “Feel The Steel” went gold in the UK. Yes, the British—masters of tea and sarcasm—bought 100,000+ copies of an album with songs like “Death to All But Metal.” Priorities!
The 15th-anniversary reissue? It’s got two bonus tracks originally reserved for Japan: “You Don’t Make Me Feel Dumb” and “I Want Your Tits”—because subtlety is for jazz bands. Shoutout to producer Jay Ruston (the guy who’s polished everyone from ANTHRAX to Corey Taylor’s diary entries) for making this nonsense sound legit.
