Following the enormous success of their 2021 co-headline U.S. tour, metal titans Megadeth and Lamb Of God have today announced the second U.S. run of their aptly named The Metal Tour Of The Year. Joining them will be special guests Trivium and In Flames.
Produced by Live Nation, the second part of this epic metal tour will begin on April 9th in Las Vegas, Nevada and hit a further 21 cities before wrapping in Allentown, Pennsylvania on Sunday, May 15th. Full tour itinerary below.
The tour will be part of Live Nation‘s Live Stubs initiative which provides digital, collectible NFT ticket stubs to ticket holders. Reimagining ticket stubs as digital collectible NFTs, Live Nation‘s Live Stubs will mirror the unique section, row, and seat of each ticket purchased, allowing fans to collect ticket stubs once again — this time with more capabilities. Live Stubs will automatically be included with tickets on select Live Nation shows in North America. Fans will be able to view, share, gift, trade, and resell their live stubs on Livenation.com. These are collector items and will not replace the digital tickets needed to physically enter the show.
Tickets and VIP packages for all artists go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, January 14th at 10 a.m. local time via MetalTourOfTheYear.com.
