The boys from MEGADETH are coming to crush Pine Knob this summer. The 33-city, nationwide tour "Destroy All Enemies" comes to our area on Saturday, September 21st. They're bringing along MUDVAYNE, and ALL THAT REMAINS as well.

Their last record is "The Sick, The Dying...  and The Dead!" It was released in September of 2022 and is one of the best Megadeth albums in years. It's just solid from start to finish. The press release backs up my claims by saying, "Performing classic hits from Rust In Peace, Countdown to Extinction, and more, the tour also brings Dave Mustaine and bandmates back to North America to perform their latest studio album, The Sick, the Dying… and the Dead! Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest-ever songwriting, the tour offers an equally ambitious live performance that delivers on all fronts."

The release continued with some words from founder Dave Mustaine: “Our ‘Crush The World’ tour has been a tremendous experience for the four of us. We are all playing tight, which has made it possible for me to focus on solos and singing. We are playing more songs than ever and closer to each other, onstage AND off. I’m excited to see Mudvayne and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”

Megadeth Tickets On Sale Friday

Tickets go on sale Friday, April 26 at 10 a.m. at 313Presents.comLiveNation.com, and Ticketmaster.com. An exclusive presale for the Cyber Army/Megadeth Digital begins today, Tuesday, April 23, at noon at Megadeth.com.

It's been a few years since I last saw Megadeth, so this is on my must-see list for this summer. I was lucky enough to see and meet them on the classic Clash of the Titans tour in the early 90s with Slayer, Anthrax, and a fairly unknown band called Alice In Chains. It's crazy to think that tour was more than three decades ago.
