Category 7 Live at Racket NYC – Concert Photos (Dec 20, 2025)

CATEGORY 7, featuring the unmistakable voice of John Bush, delivered a powerful and highly distinctive live performance at Racket in New York City on December 20, 2025. The show was structured in two clearly defined parts, beginning with a full set of Category 7 material that showcased the band’s identity and momentum as a modern heavy metal project.

The second half of the performance shifted focus to the Anthrax era recorded with John Bush, creating a moment of direct connection to a defining chapter of Bush’s career. During this portion of the set, Bush performed “Strap It On” live for the first time ever, a moment he noted on stage was inspired by an online fan petition.

Adding further significance to the night, Joey Vera (Armored Saint) handled bass duties, reinforcing the deep lineage of musicianship behind the performance. The atmosphere inside Racket reflected both celebration and authenticity, capturing a show that felt intentional and genuinely memorable.
