Iconic rock act Megadeth makes a stop in Halifax

Hard rock titans Megadeth will be wrapping up a Canadian tour in Halifax.

Set to perform at Scotiabank Centre on May 15, the longtime thrash metal act will be supported by Bullet for My Valentine and Oni.

In a release, bandleader Dave Mustaine said, “we cannot wait to bring Megadeth's Crush The World tour to the Great White North – I'm still riding high from our Sold Out Budokan show with Marty Friedman last week, but there is no letting up, and it's your turn, Canada. Get ready!”

Tickets for the event go on sale on March 9 at 10 a.m. and will be available online at ticketatlantic.com, evenko.ca and livenation.com.

The band's Cyber Army Fan Club and VIP packages are now on sale at megadeth.com.

Last year, Megadeth released their sixteenth studio album, debuting at the top of the charts during its first week of sales.

It was also the highest-charting Megadeth album of all time globally.
