Produced by Live Nation, the rescheduled trek will hit a further 27 cities before wrapping in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada on Saturday, October 2.

This is a return to MEGADETH for LoMenzo, who joined the group in 2006 and appeared on two studio albums, 2007’s “United Abominations” and 2009’s “Endgame”. He was eventually let go from MEGADETH and replaced by original bassist David Ellefson.

“The Metal Tour Of The Year” features MEGADETH alongside co-headliners LAMB OF GOD, as well as TRIVIUM and HATEBREED.
