✔️ Metal Alliance Tour w/Overkill/Crowbar/Havoc/Black Fast/Invidia/The Dood/Half Ton Hammer Overkill has been through its fair share of lineup changes since the ‘80s, but frontman Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth has always been there to lead the New Jersey thrash-rock lords through the many sonic mutations they’ve explored over the course of 18 studio LPs (including this year’s The Grinding Wheel, which happens to be the last one featuring Ron Lipnicki, who has been drumming with Overkill for the last dozen years). This show is a metal fan’s playground and gets started early thanks to a 5 p.m. door. (State Theatre, St. Petersburg) INFO
