Onslaught (UK) + The Prophecy 23 (DE) + Toranaga UK

Onslaught returns to Willemeen with the comeback of vocalist Sy Keeler. The British thrash metal band has been active since 1982 and has released seven studio albums, including classics with tracks such as Power From Hell, Killing Peace and 66'Fucking'6. World tours with Slayer and Motörhead and a place in the Metal Hall of Fame complete their track record.

In 2025 they celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album with the new double album Origins of Aggression, and this release comes with a world tour that also stops in Arnhem.

Support comes from The Prophecy 23, a German thrash metal band that has been mixing old-school thrash with death metal, hardcore and punk for more than twenty years - what they call "Fresh Metal" themselves. Toranaga UK closes the evening: a band that started in 1982 as part of the NWOBHM, later switched to thrash metal, disbanded in 2006 and made a comeback in 2010. They have one full album, two EPs and a single to their name.
