Armored Saint & Metal Church
Armored Saint and Metal Church share the bill at The Canyon in Agoura Hills, with Livekill opening the night. Armored Saint is billed with vocalist John Bush, Joey Vera, Phil Sandoval, Jeff Duncan, and Gonzo Sandoval. The Los Angeles band’s set draws on a four-decade run of heavy metal, including the material and approach represented by Punching The Sky: crushing metal, melodic hooks, and epic songwriting. Metal Church follows with its blend of traditional metal and thrash-inspired intensity, before Armored Saint closes the bill.
Armored Saint formed in Los Angeles in the early 1980s and has remained a respected, enduring presence in heavy metal for more than four decades. They are known for powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and high-energy performances, while continuing to make music that honors their history and sounds current. Metal Church emerged from the Pacific Northwest metal scene in the early 1980s, becoming an influential American heavy metal band with a worldwide following. Their landmark albums include Metal Church, The Dark, and Blessing in Disguise. The band is associated with thunderous riffs and soaring vocals, and is celebrated as a driving force in heavy metal history.
The Canyon’s appeal is its dinner-and-concert format: you can make a full evening of a show, with table seating paired with dinner service or general-admission access to the concert floor. The calendar ranges from touring performers and tribute acts to themed nights, often with opening acts before the headliner. Expect a ticketed event, and check the listing for your show’s seating and dining arrangements; some events specify a two-drink minimum. Doors commonly open early enough to arrive before the music, though timings vary by event. The venue is at 28912 Roadside Drive in Agoura Hills, in the Conejo Valley, and current official listings continue to advertise shows there. It’s a practical choice if you want dinner and live music under one roof.
