German thrash metal legends KREATOR have officially announced their 2025 summer festival tour, along with three exclusive headline shows in Germany. These intimate club concerts will feature special setlists, packed with rare and fan-favourite tracks. Supporting KREATOR on these special nights will be Rotting Christ and Warbringer.
A Special Experience for Metal Fans
Frontman Mille Petrozza shared his excitement about the upcoming tour:
“This summer, KREATOR will unleash chaos on some of Europe’s biggest stages. But we also have something truly special planned for our fans – three exclusive club shows in Germany, alongside a selection of festival performances featuring a unique setlist filled with rare and much-loved tracks from our archives.
These intimate club gigs and special festival sets will be a celebration of KREATOR’s legacy, bringing back songs we haven’t played live in years. If you’ve ever wanted to hear these hidden treasures in a live setting, this is your chance!
For the club shows, we’re bringing along two incredible support acts: Rotting Christ, with their dark and epic soundscapes, and Warbringer, thrash metal warriors known for their unstoppable energy. Together, we will turn these nights into an unforgettable metal celebration.
Germany and beyond – get ready to raise the ‘Flag of Hate’ as we dive deep into the history of KREATOR. Let’s make this summer a season of metal madness to remember! Hail the Hordes!”
