ANTHRAX: Warsaw Rehearsal Footage Posted Online

June 25, 2010

Video footage of ANTHRAX playing the song "Madhouse" in rehearsal prior to the June 16, 2010 opening concert of the "Big Four" tour at the Sonisphere festival in Warsaw, Poland can be viewed below.

METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX — the so-called "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal — played together for the first time in history in front of 81,000 fans in Warsaw.

According to Billboard.com, a DVD of the Sonisphere concert in Sofia, Bulgaria — which was beamed via satellite in HD to cinemas and was seen by more than 100,000 fans globally — is set to be released later this year. TV deals have also been struck for sets from Sonisphere and in Britain ITV2 will screen highlights from the U.K. festival. VH1 will show Sonisphere in the U.S.

In the U.K. it was screened in 79 cinemas. "At the Odeon in Leicester Square in London there was a mosh pit, and at the end of the show they had a stage invasion, which is just phenomenal to even think about," says promoter Stuart Galbraith. "Not only are we hitting the territories that we're playing with this tour, [with the cinecast] we've taken the 'Big Four' and Sonisphere into countries we haven't been able to get to this year."

Sonisphere is now in Bucharest and Istanbul (both June 25-27) and then travels to Madrid (July 9-10),Stockholm (Aug. 7) and Pori in Finland (Aug. 7-8). It wraps up with two nights at the 50,000-capacity Knebworth (July 30-Aug. 1).
