It appears to be happening! Megadeth and Lamb of God have announced the rescheduled tour dates of their epic summer co-headlining trek with Trivium and In Flames. Tickets go on sale this Friday (7th) at 10am via this location. The tour is currently set to kick off on August 20th in Austin, TX, and will run through October 2nd. All previous purchased tickets for any of the rescheduled dates will be valid for the new date.
Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine comments:
“Can you hear that sound of armies on the march – of destruction on the horizon? That’s this tour, coming for you. We cannot wait to return to the stage and I promise you you do NOT want to miss these shows. You’re not going to know what hit you!”
Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe adds:
“It’s been far too long since we got together to do our thing— by ‘we’ I mean bands, road crew, bus drivers, truck drivers, local venue staff, vendors, audience, parking lot attendants, the freaking janitors- the whole damn enchilada. ALL OF US. TOGETHER. Everyone has been waiting, but the time has come to put the puzzle back together— I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been more ready to hit the road with lamb of god. See y’all in a few months with Megadeth, Trivium, & In Flames.
Over a year with no live music? These shows are gonna be INSANE…”
Trivium’s Matt Heafy expresses:
“The Metal Tour of the year couldn’t be stopped by anything. It is still happening, and we can’t wait to bring back shows with this monumental tour. We’re ready. Are you?”
In Flames’ Anders Fridén states:
“I can’t really describe how good it feels to be really talking about going on tour, let alone The Metal Tour of the Year. This setup is long overdue and we can’t wait to finally make it happen.”
