Megadeth + Lamb of God Announce Massive 2020 Tour… And It’s Not Mayhem Fest
Megadeth and Lamb of God have just announced a massive co-headlining tour that will take up a large chunk of 2020. The North American shows will also feature Trivium and In Flames as support for the entire run.
This will be Megadeth's first headlining tour in North America since Dave Mustaine was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. Now 100-percent free of the disease, Mustaine is back at the helm of thrash and ready to crush with Megadeth. "Hello me! I’m 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," Mustaine says.
Lamb of God guitarist Mark Morton adds, “The 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.”
“We are happy to be a part of the biggest real metal tour of the year. This tour is the main event and represents heavy metal and the culture that goes with it," Trivium's Matt Heafy states, while In Flames' Anders Friden gushes, “We were honored to be asked to join this package. We were actually supposed to take this summer off, but of course we couldn’t 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!”
