MEGADETH ANNOUNCE NEW TOUR DATES FOR RUST IN PEACE 20th ANNIVERSARY TOUR

BAND TO PERFORM LANDMARK ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY TO HIT THE ROAD WITH TESTAMENT AND EXODUS BEGINNING MARCH 1


The mighty Megadeth will join forces with Testament and Exodus for a month-long jaunt that will find these thrash titans crisscrossing the nation on the ‘Rust in Peace’ 20th anniversary tour. These will be incredibly special shows that will delight Megadeth fans, as the band will be playing their landmark, genre-defining album, 1990’s Rust in Peace, in its entirety, in addition to other Megadeth set list favorites.

Megadeth’s latest, ENDGAME, was released in September 2009 and received some of the highest critical accolades of the band’s career. The band performed on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and was nominated for yet another Grammy – the eight nomination of their storied career- for “Head Crusher.” Megadeth also enjoyed heaps of praise in the press, from outlets as varied as New York to Revolver to VH1’s “That Metal Show” to PopMatters. With ENDGAME, Megadeth have once again ascended to the top of the metal world.

Sal may not be my name, but you can most certainly give me a cavity search.


On topic: They're going to the 3 lamest cities in Canada :(

[Wolfbeckett]

Maaaaan I want to go to this but the one close to me is on a Wednesday and it's a 2.5-3 hour drive so I would probably have to leave work early that day and take the next day off, I just don't know if I can afford that time off considering I am already taking off 3 days in mid April for Coachella. I need to think seriously about this one.

What? I don't see Toronto there;)

[Oscar-Rio]

Toronto may suck, but at least there's **** to do here. I suppose Calgary has the mountains nearby, Edmonton has a big shopping mall if that's your thing, and Saskatoon.....well...they have a nice section of the Trans-Canada Highway going through their city decorated by many nice trees.

Everytime Saskatoon gets a show that Winnipeg doesn't, the universe weeps

Poor Winnipeg :( Too far east to be part of the "cool" prairies, and too far west to be considered part of the "better" part of the country. Truly a red-headed middle child.

Being from Calgary, we really do only have the mountains. And rednecks. Many, many rednecks.

As for this tour, i've seen Megadeth 4 times now, I'm not sure I'm too keen on seing them again, though. Testament intrigues me more.

[mrpoopsy]

Just ordered my tickets for Hollywood Palladium

CANT WAIT

Ive seen Metallica twice havent seen megadeth yet

[JohnTheDrummer]

Why Spokane!?!?!? Dammit... what a line up X-(

[ffwarrior47]

Gah! I want to see Megadeth and Testament! [not the biggest Exodus fan]

On a side note, does anybody know if the big four thrash tour rumors are true? I know the "big four" are all playing Sonisphere, but i wonder if it will become a full fledged tour... I wonder how much tickets would cost..

You guys have rednecks too? I thought that was an American thing, or did they migrate there?

[kiggidykev]

We call them "cowboys" though

[WingsOfSteel]

Hey, I live in Spokane! I gotta get some tickets fast!

[SteveoKnievo]

Since American Carnage got rescheduled and I have little patience, I'm gonna try to see them in Memphis on account that I don't want to wait until July.

[mercuryshadow09]

Do they wear Canadian tuxedos? (http://theenvelope.latimes.com/media/photo/2007-12/34446411.jpg) Sorry I couldnt resist!;)

[kiggidykev]

That's just plain hot

[mercuryshadow09]

That's just plain hot

Thanks, I know I look a bit like Justin Timberlake, I gotta shave!

[justin19954]

I'm going to the Scranton concert. :D

[DrumStix]

Rust In Peace DLC...coming soon? :(:(:(

[RicoTheAwesomeCat]

No stops in Illinois?
Lame.

My cousin in law has called it the only city that only has one side to the political spectrum. And hey, we got the Stampede. Oh wait.

We're Texas north. Oil, cowboys, generally regarded as bat**** insane. Only thing is we're better. More oil, more mountains, more insane.

I would try to see this if I went to concerts.

[CPT BJ]

If only there were some UK dates.

Why Spokane on the 1st!?! I'll be there by the end of March, that'd be a perfect way to cap off a cross-country move. Dammit!
