The band are currently prepping for a packed month of European festival performances and club shows, kicking off this week with performances at Download Festival and Into The Grave.
MUNICIPAL WASTE’s Tony Foresta commented,
“Its been way too long since The Waste has done a proper UK headliner. To say we are excited is an understatement. We couldn’t even wait till after Download to tell everyone. We are equally as chuffed to bring a diverse and crushing duo of openers Gel and Undeath. If anyone knows how we can get a Buckfast sponsorship for this please reach out. CHEERS!”

Since 2001, MUNICIPAL WASTE have uncompromisingly stuck to their guns as hard-partying and even harder-hitting torchbearers of 21st century thrash metal.
The Richmond, VA quintet Tony Foresta [vocals], Ryan Waste [guitar], Philip “Landphil” Hall [bass], Dave Witte [drums], and Nick Poulos [guitar] – have transformed from a cult favourite into metal mainstays for a generation.
Along the way, Decibel touted ‘The Art of Partying‘ in its coveted Hall of Fame and asserted it “revved up interest in thrash and inspired a fresh wave of youthful new bands.
Metal Hammer christened ‘The Art of Partying‘ one of “The 50 Greatest Thrash Metal Albums Ever,” while Loudwire pegged ‘The Art of Partying‘ as “The Best Thrash Album of 2007” and ‘Hazardous Mutation‘ as “The Best Thrash Album of 2005.
The guys have sold out countless shows on multiple continents and piled up tens of millions of streams in the process.
