Cancer Bats celebrating 10 years of Hail Destroyer

by Ryan Minic | Dec 7, 2017

How’s that for a party? Cancer Bats will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their 2008 album Hail Destroyer next year.

The band will be doing a couple hometown shows in Toronto where they’ll be playing the album in its entirety. They’ll be taking over Lee’s Palace on April 20th and 21st.

If you’re trying to catch the guys sooner, you’ll have a chance to see them a few times before the anniversary shows. In January they’ll be doing a couple gigs as Bat Sabbath — the band’s alter ego where they perform Black Sabbath covers.

Here’s their schedule going into 2018:

Jan 05 North Vancouver, BC @ Cobalt (performing as Bat Sabbath)
Jan 06 North Vancouver, BC @ Cobalt (performing as Bat Sabbath)
Mar 16 Winnipeg, MB @ The Park Theatre
Apr 20 Toronto, ON @ Lee’s Palace
Apr 21 Toronto, ON @ Lee’s Palace
