Megadeth and Lamb Of God are pleased to announce a co-headline show at OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday 14th November 2015. The show will coincide with the release later this year, of Megadeth’s 15th Studio album, and Lamb of God's blistering new album 'VII: Sturm und Drang' will be released later in July.
Formed in 1983, Megadeth are one of the true pioneers and innovators of metal music. The band has sold more than 38 million albums worldwide and have just finished recording a new studio album – due for release later in 2015. This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the release of their seminal debut album “Killing Is My Business…And Business Is Good”.
June 2015 saw Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine pick up the Golden God Award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2015 at London’s Indigo at The O2.
Dave Mustaine says, “Having just finished an amazing record full of high-energy heavy metal with Chris Adler, Kiko Loureiro and David Ellefson, I am excited to announce this tour and see all of the metal fans come out for this one. I literally can’t wait to hit the stage again!”
After headlining the second stage at the Download Festival last month, Virginian metal titans LAMB OF GOD are delighted to return to the UK as co-headliners this November. Hailed by Metal Hammer as "their finest outing in a decade", Lamb of God's blistering new album 'VII: Sturm und Drang' will be released July 24th. Respected longtime drummer Chris Adler recently joined the Megadeth ranks as well, so will perform with both bands each show.
"I have to say that it's definitely exciting to be announcing this one! I'm more than pleased to let the world know that Lamb Of God will be sharing the bill with thrash metal legends, Megadeth, for five shows in the UK and Ireland, from November 9th-15th! It's been almost a decade since we've had the opportunity to tour with Megadeth, and we're absolutely thrilled to be teaming up with them once again for these very special UK dates.
Also appearing will be our good friends and long-time co-conspirators Children Of Bodom and Sylosis. This lineup is unstoppable! If you're not stoked about this bill, then you very simply do not like heavy metal! Take a plane, take a boat, hitch a ride, take the tube, bring your Wellies…see you there!" – Mark Morton, Lamb Of God.
Support comes from Children Of Bodom and Sylosis.
