Dark Angel at Worcester Palladium

Extinction Level Event 2025

Okay Worcester, here’s the sitch: Dark Angel is coming right here. And they’re bringing the thrash metal apocalypse with them. The end of the world is near, and on Friday, September 26th, The Palladium is gonna be ground zero for a night's scream sesh, shredding, and circle pits that may or may not summon another dimension. This is your warning for the best night of our lives. Sure it’s a banging show — but it’s also Dark Angel’s first major tour in over thirty years. Yeah. Thirty loooooong Years. The 2025 Extinction Level Event Tour is a full-throttle comeback that feels more like a ritual than a concert, and Worcester’s getting a front-row seat to the madness. They’ve been quiet for a long time — too long — but now they’ve re-emerged from their thrash crypt with a brand new album, a lineup that’s more locked-in than ever, and a righteous fury that could knock the paint off the walls. This night at The Palladium is going to be one of those shows — the ones people talk about for years, the kind where you lose a shoe, find a friend, and maybe question the structural integrity of the floor. With Sacred Reich, Vio-Lence, and a rotating gang of support acts like Hirax, Midnight, Void, and Interceptor joining in across the tour, it’s basically a traveling metal festival disguised as one night of mayhem. But in Worcester, all eyes are on Dark Angel. This is their moment.

And yeah, it’s gonna be emotional. This is their first full tour since the passing of founding guitarist Jim Durkin, and his wife Laura Christine has stepped in on guitar to carry his legacy forward — which is badass in the most metal way possible. They’re playing harder than ever, and this tour is about power, catharsis, and blowing the roof off every venue that dares to host them.

So if you like your metal fast and feral— this is it. Don’t miss the resurrection. Don’t miss the new era. Don’t miss this absolute monster of a night when Dark Angel tears The Palladium to pieces.

Bring earplugs, maybe. Or don’t if you’re rolling like that for the night. We believe in you. See you in the pit, Worcester.
