Dragon Productions, Metal Hammer & metal.de Present the Legendary 40 Years of DESTRUCTION Tour 2023

German Thrash Metal Titans Celebrate a Milestone in Heavy Metal History

Dragon Productions is proud to announce the highly anticipated 40 years anniversary tour of the iconic German thrash metal band, Destruction. This monumental tour marks a significant milestone in the band's career and holds immense meaning for the heavy metal culture worldwide. With shows across the UK, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and more countries soon to be announced, this tour promises to be a legendary experience for metalheads everywhere.

Schmier, Destruction's esteemed singer/bassist, shares his excitement, stating, "This 40 years anniversary tour is for sure a huge milestone of my career! It is still very special to me to be able to perform and tour after all these years. When I started the band, we could not imagine that we could get that far, create such a legacy, and go on for so long. It is a big gift, and I wanna share it with our fans on this European tour! Music is magic, and THRASH Metal is my lifeblood!

Daniel da Silva from Dragon Productions expresses his pride and honour as the booking agent for Destruction, Enforcer, and Razor, stating, "Crafting this project and bringing together such an incredible tour package for the European metalheads has been an absolute privilege. It took months of incessant hard work, but again persistence driven by endless passion for the metal culture paid off. I couldn’t be more excited to present this unforgettable metallic experience and invite metal enthusiasts to be a part of this monumental celebration. Horns up!"

With a powerful, tight-knit lineup and an arsenal of thrash anthems spanning four decades, Destruction has evolved into an intense live act. Schmier proudly declares, "For me, there is no doubt. DESTRUCTION have evolved to a very intense live act. All the years on the road and even the difficult times have shaped us. We have grown into a strong tight unit. The set-list will be just killers – no fillers. A 40 years legacy gives us so many strong thrash anthems to choose from. It will be a pleasure to celebrate our history and heritage with our fans! Do not miss out – see you in the pit, lunatics!"

Due to health reasons followed by an injury, RAZOR was forced to cancel all of their upcoming shows in Europe this year (for full statement please visit the band’s FB page). As replacement, we are proud to announce the American 80’s speed/thrash legend WHIPLASH!

The 40 Years of DESTRUCTION tour is a testament to the band's enduring impact on the metal scene. This is a rare opportunity to witness a band that has become synonymous with thrash metal culture, and fans are encouraged to secure their tickets now.
