Tyla, Todd and Dane – Phil Campbell’s offsprings – featuring Julian Jenkins (FURY) on vocals keeping the flame and the spirit alive as PHIL CAMPBELL’S BASTARD SONS after the tragic death of their father. With their 2026 summer gigs this combo gives proof of their capabilities as a fantastic live band. Their mix of Mötorhead songs and their own material is a great mix of metal, hard rock and rock ‘n’ roll. Lemmy and Phil will be watching proudly from heaven. Rounding up the package as support was JAKE & THE CONVOLUTION.
