Anthrax, true pioneers of thrash metal and undisputed members of the legendary Big Four, join the lineup for the next edition of Rock Imperium Festival, taking place on July 3rd, 4th and 5th, 2026 at Parque El Batel in Cartagena. Since their explosive arrival in the 1980s, Anthrax have left an indelible mark on the history of metal, fusing the fury of hardcore punk with the power of heavy metal to create a unique sound that broke boundaries with creativity and irreverence. Classics like ‘Fistful of Metal’, ‘Among the Living’ and ‘Persistence of Time’ made them icons for an entire generation, while more recent records such as ‘Worship Music’ and ‘For All Kings’ have proven that their fire still burns bright. With over four decades of relentless activity, eleven studio albums and a live show that’s pure dynamite, Anthrax will hit Cartagena to deliver a crushing performance, proving once again that their reign over thrash remains as strong as ever.
