Two of the biggest bands in heavy metal \u2013 Megadeth and LAMB OF GOD \u2013 will be joining forces on a co-headline tour across North America this year, presented by SiriusXM.\u00a0And to add to the firepower of this already formidable tour, Trivium and In Flames are joining,\u00a0making this THE must-see heavy music package of the year. Tickets will go on general sale Friday, February 14 from livenation.com<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Megadeth, fueled by Dave Mustaine\u2019s triumphant return to the stage following his diagnosis and recovery of throat cancer, will embark on their first North American tour since 2017. Speaking on the epic announcement, Megadeth\u2019s leader and frontman, Dave Mustaine says, “Hello me! I\u2019m back again, better than ever and coming to a town near you with Lamb of God, Trivium and In Flames. If you want high octane metal madness this is the tour for you.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
LAMB OF GOD\u00a0released their first new music in five years last week with the single \u201cCheckmate.\u201d The track is the first to be released from the band\u2019s self-titled eighth studio album, due out May 8,<\/sup>which is one of the most anticipated and important metal records of the year. Commenting on their upcoming co-headline run, Mark Morton, lead guitarist of LAMB OF GOD, adds, \u201cThe world has never needed heavy more than it does today and top to bottom, this tour delivers! LAMB OF GOD has toured with and been friends with all of these bands for years, but for all of us to be on the same bill is something extra special. Come early and stay late. This is THE metal tour of the year.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trivium\u2019s Matt Heafy adds, \u201cWe are happy to be a part of the biggest real metal tour of the year.\u00a0This tour is the main event and represents heavy metal and the culture that goes with it.\u201c<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
With In Flames singer, Anders Frid\u00e9n stating, \u201cWe were honored to be asked to join this package. We were actually supposed to take this summer off, but of course we couldn\u2019t say no. After playing shows with all of these guys for years, 2020 is going to feel like a kick ass reunion. See you on the road, Jesterheads!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
