Spartacus Entertainment has announced a special one-off intimate U.K. show with Brazilian thrashers SEPULTURA. This will be the last show on the band's European jaunt in March, and only U.K. gig. The concert will take place on March 31 at the Carling Academy Islington, London. Tickets are on sale now from www.ticketweb.co.uk or call 08700 600 100. Please note this is an early evening show. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. The concert will also feature the cream of the U.K. underground metal scene, with main support coming from London booze-hounds THE INBREDS, and an additional appearance by Portsmouth riffers VALLENBROSA & MALEFICE. And to make the show even more special, Kevin Bond (SUPERJOINT RITUAL) will be making a special appearance onstage with THE INBREDS.
Commented Spartacus Entertainment mainman Dean Leverett: "This is going to be a great show and it's not often SEPULTURA play such an intimate venue. Considering this is the only U.K. show, at least for a while, makes it all the more special! With the addition of Kevin from SUPERJOINT RITUAL appearing onstage with THE INBREDS, this is the place you need to be on the 31st of March."
