ANTHRAX Adds Second Saint Vitus Bar Show For This Weekend; Tickets Available Today

With all tickets having sold out in less than a minute for Anthrax’s Saint Vitus Bar show tomorrow night, the New York thrash/metal titans announce that they will play a second show at the venue on Saturday, September 17.  Doors are at midnight and Anthrax will take the stage at 1:00am (Sunday).  Tickets are priced at $50 and go on sale today (Friday, September 16th) at 12 noon EST.  Login here to make your purchase. As with tomorrow night’s concert, proceeds from Saturday’s show will go to benefit Gilda’s Club NYC.

Anthrax is confirmed for Saturday’s Revolution Rock Festival in Connecticut and will take the stage at 1:30pm to insure they get to Brooklyn in time for the Saint Vitus show. The band has already begun to kick around ideas for a different set list and other surprises for Saturday’s show.

“With tomorrow night’s show having sold out so quickly, we decided to do a second one to bring more awareness to Gilda’s Club NYC,” said Anthrax’s Scott Ian. “Two shows in one day – it’s going to be amazing, so come on down.”

Gilda’s Club NYC was founded in 1995 in memory of Gilda Radner, the talented comedienne and original cast member of Saturday Night Live who passed away in 1989 from cancer.  GCNYC’s mission is to support, educate and empower cancer patients and their families.  

Thrash metal legend and Stern Show superfan Scott Ian is taking over Howard 101 today (Friday, September 16th) at 11 PM, ET for a docu-concert that will feature a special presentation of the band’s epic performance recorded live from last year’s Loud Park Festival in Japan, coupled with the stories behind the concert and more from the band’s 35+ year history.

Plus, not only will Scott dive into his rich musical history, but he’ll also be going back into the Stern Show vault to resurface some of his finest moments on the show, from his first ever appearance to the infamous 1997 incident in which he avoided criminal charges by calling in live to offer an apology to George Steinbrenner after he was caught sneaking around the Yankee’s spring training camp in Tampa, Florida, and so much more.
