Good news for those who love the proggy sounds of Symphony X as well as the thrash attack of Overkill; the two groups will be headlining a tour together this fall, bringing the best of both worlds to eager metalheads everywhere.
The tour starts in Massachusetts in September and ends in New York, hitting up almost the entire U.S. with 24 tour dates. This should be a pretty good run, since Symphony X are going to be touring in support of their new record, and celebrating the 15th anniversary of releasing their first ever album.
Another cool thing about this tour is that neither of the groups are headlining. I guess the logic here is that they are both such big names, and come from two different scenes, so they both deserve equal billing time. Instead, they are going to be taking turns headlining, so be sure to check the show info ahead of time to figure out whom is playing when on the night they are in your town.
