2022 music festivals in Southern California — who’s playing and how to get tickets
Megadeth To 'Destroy All Enemies' In Upcoming North American Tour
Following their 'Crush The World' Tour and a run of European festivals, legendary thrash band Megadeth are coming back to North America later this summer with their 'Destroy All Enemies' run.
Set to kick off on August 2 in Rogers, Arkansas and coming to an end in Nashville, Tennessee on September 28, the tour will hit 34 different venues all over the U.S. The tour will include two stops in Los Angeles, along with stops in other major markets like Las Vegas, Boston, and St. Louis.
Truth be told, without any other dates in Canada and Mexico, I don't know why this wasn't called a U.S. Tour, but that's neither here nor there. Coming along with Megadeth this time around will be Mudvayne and All That Remains.
Frontman Dave Mustaine said he was stoked for the coming run of dates.
"We are all playing tight, and that has made it possible for me to really focus on solos and singing, we are playing more songs than ever before, and we are closer to each other, onstage AND off. I'm excited to see Mudvayne, and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES."
You can find the full list of tour dates below. Tickets are available right now.

Weekend Poll: What's The Best Post-Reunion MEGADETH Album?
Megadeth disbanded on April 3, 2002 after vocalist and guitarist Dave Mustaine was diagnosed with radial neuropathy. Mustaine worked on a solo album throughout the next two years, but thanks to contractual obligations, had to release it as Megadeth. That record was The System Has Failed in 2004, and Megadeth has been back together ever since.
So this weekend, I've got one question for you – what's the best post-reunion Megadeth album? Vote below! We'll close this out on July 1 at 9am EST and publish the results later that day.

Megadeth Working On Next Record
Megadeth are "actively working" on their next studio album.
Megadeth have been busy in the studio making the follow-up to 2022's 'The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead!'
Bassist James LoMenzo told Portugal's 'Metal Global': "We're actively working on music right now.
"We're talking with Dave [Mustaine, Megadeth's singer/guitarist] every day. Dave really wants to do another record and just get something fresh out there."
James didn't appear on the previous outing, with session player Steve Di Giorgio recording the bass parts, as he had only just replaced David Ellefson, who was let go amid a sex scandal.
He said: "The last one I thought was great.
"When I had just joined the band, they just finished recording it. I begged, I pleaded, I said, 'I know, I know, I know, but could I please play bass on this?' 'Cause there's a few things I had heard were so great.
"And they were, like, 'We've been doing this for two years. We just have to get on the road. It's done.' I was, like, 'All right.'
"But Steve Di Giorgio did an amazing job. I really love the way he played on this. And I enjoy playing his style."
Dave was going through treatment for throat cancer in 2019, but still soldiered on with the record.
However, the hardest part of all was dealing with "chemo brain".
He told Total Guitar in 2022: "I think it did (distract him), to a degree.
"The toughest part wasn't the process of going through all the radiation and chemotherapy, a lot of the cancer medication they gave me fucking with my memory really bad.
"They call it chemo brain, so I've been having a hard time staying in the moment, but it's getting better."
And when asked whether he's thinking of retiring, Dave insisted for as long as he can still pick up and play his instrument, he'll keep shredding.
He replied: "When I got sick I had been talking a lot about playing out a little less.
"Now, if anything, I want to tour more and just carry on until the end when I actually can't do it anymore.
"I'm not talking about the time when I don't want to do it anymore.
"I mean when it's not possible for me to do.
"When I can't do it, that's when I'm not gonna want to do it."
