Twelve European dates have been scheduled for Phil Campbell’s Bastard Sons this summer, including two as Judas Priest’s supporting act, as per Blabbermouth. Prior to his death in March, Phil Campbell, the guitarist for Motörhead, and his band, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons, were supposed to tour this year. Under the guise of Phil Campbell’s Bastard Sons, his sons and bandmates Dane, Todd, and Tyla will now perform a high-energy tribute to his work with Motörhead on stage to honour his legacy.
We are heading back to the stage, fueled by a mission that goes beyond the music. Following the passing of our father, Phil Campbell, the band is moving forward with an unwavering sense of strength, heart, and purpose, ensuring that the rock and roll flame he ignited continues to roar.
What began as a raw, high-energy family project has now matured into a powerful symbol of both tribute and evolution.
In the wake of our loss, the band has received prestigious invitations from festivals and titans of the genre, including Judas Priest, to perform in our father’s honour.
Fans can expect a show that is exactly what our dad would have demanded: loud, honest, and uncompromising rock ‘n’ roll.
From 1984 until 2015, Campbell was a member of Motörhead. He served as the band’s only guitarist during the final 20 years of the group’s existence, contributing to hits like “Orgasmatron,” “1916,” and “Bastards.” Motörhead abruptly ended with the death of its founder, Lemmy, in 2015.
