Megadeth has announced the second leg of their co-headline tour with Lamb Of God dubbed ‘The Metal Tour Of The Year‘. Trivium and In Flames will be on the tour as well to support. In Flames was previously scheduled to take part in the tour but were unable to due to COVID-19 complications.
Dave Mustaine of Megadeth had this to say about the tour:
“‘The Metal Tour of The Year‘ is exactly what it sounds like – a night of some of the best heavy metal bands in the world – live and loud. Anyone who came to a show last year knows what I mean, only this one’s going be even better. Do not miss out.”
Lamb Of God‘s Randy Blythe:
“It was great to get out on the road for an incredible tour last summer with Megadeth, Trivium and Hatebreed so we figured we’d do it again! We look forward to hitting new cities with Megadeth, Trivium and In Flames, who we’re happy to have over for leg 2!”
Trivium‘s Matt Heafy:
“‘The Metal Tour Of The Year‘ was one of the strongest, most incredible Metal tours in ages – it’s namesake nothing but accurate. How do you follow that up? By doing it again – even bigger, even better, and have it play everywhere it didn’t on the first leg. MTOTYII – let’s do this.”
In Flames‘s Anders Fridén:
“We are excited to finally be able to join our dear friends in Megadeth, Lamb of God, and Trivium on this year’s, ‘Metal Tour of The Year‘! We can’t wait to be back on the road in America and to reunite with you all. Don’t miss this tour it’s a juggernaut.”
