For over three decades, Phil Campbell carved his place in rock history as the guitarist of Motörhead, the legendary power trio that defined the sound, swagger, and grit of heavy music.
Now, the Welsh shredder is bringing his own powerhouse band, Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, to Australia for the very first time this September.
Formed in 2016, the band features Campbell’s three sons, Todd, Tyla, and Dane, proving that sometimes musical genius really does run in the family. Fronted by the formidable Joel Peters on vocals, the group has quickly established itself as a festival favourite, tearing through stages at Wacken, Hellfest, Graspop, and even supporting Guns N’ Roses across European stadiums.
