Canadian heavy metal band Anvil (recently spotlighted in hit doc Anvil! The Story of Anvil) is set to launch their first major tour in more than a decade.
Read more about the rocking doc in the Documentary magazine article "This Is Anvil: Heavy Metal Doc Follows Band's 30-Year Quest for Fame."
"The Anvil Experience" will be a 30-date North American trek in support of both the September 15 release of their most recent CD, This is Thirteen and the October 6 DVD release of Anvil! The Story of Anvil. The tour kicks off on January 7, 2010 and includes dates in New York and Los Angeles..
Audience members will be treated to a screening of Anvil! The Story of Anvil, before the group (singer/guitarist Steve "Lips" Kudlow, drummer Robb Reiner, and bassist Glenn Five) takes the stage for a set of heavy Anvil classics.
For the hardcore fans, a limited number of 50 "VIP Anvil Experience" packages will be made available for each show. Those include a ticket to the concert, a copy of the This is Thirteen CD, a copy of the Anvil! The Story of Anvil DVD, a fanny pack (a constant fashion companion of Reiner's as seen in the film), and a meet 'n' greet with the band.
VH1 Fan Club Pre-Sale tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 6, with the regular on-sale starting Friday, October 9.
