Mega-rockers Megadeth are about to launch a North American tour and have announced some added dates for a European leg of their tour next year that will begin a multi-year/ nation tour of final dates.  Black Label Society and Testament will be joining Megadeth on the European dates.

Frontman Dave Mustaine said, “this isn’t about saying goodbye.  It’s about celebrating everything we’ve built together over the last four decades. Every city has its own story, every crowd has given us unforgettable memories, and we want to come back to celebrate that with the fans who ma de it all possible.”

He added, “when we started talking about this tour, we wanted it to be a true celebration of metal.  Black Label Society and Testament are bands we have tremendous respect for, and having them join us makes these shows even more special. This line-up represents decades of heavy music, and it’s going to be an incredible night for the fans.”

Tickets for the European dates are on sale to the general public now.

Earlier this year, Megadeth released their 17th and final new album.
