To celebrate their thirtieth anniversary Helmet has announced a headline tour of 30 cities across Europe. Beginning in Prague on September 3rd, the tour will take the band through 14 different countries including a headline Irish show in the Button Factory this October.

The New York rock legends will play a 30 song set from across their eight critically acclaimed studio albums, as well as rarities from older EP’s and singles – with the possibility of a few covers mixed in for good measure. There will be no opening acts on any of the shows.

 “The day John, Peter and I auditioned Henry is the day I consider to be the beginning of Helmet. The year was 1989 and I think the month was May. I love playing this music more than ever with my current bandmates, Kyle, Dan and Dave. To celebrate 30 years of recording and touring we decided to play 30 songs a night in 30 cities in Europe and 30 more cities in the USA. We hope to see you all there.” says founder and frontman Page Hamilton.
