Rob Zombie & Megadeth have announced a co-headlining tour for this spring.
The two-week trek, which marks the first time the two bands have toured together, kicks off May 11 in Holmdel, NJ and encompasses high-profile appearances at several rock festivals, including M3 Rock Festival, Rock On The Range and wraps May 26 at Rocklahoma.
Rob Zombie will headline Rocklahoma, co-headline Rock On The Range (with Incubus), and will close all shows on the Megadeth dates.
This will be Rob Zombie's first concert tour since last summer's "Hell On Earth" co-headline trek with Slayer. Zombie spent last fall and winter shooting his sixth feature film, "The Lords of Salem" which he wrote and directed and is making with the producers of the "Paranormal Activity" franchise. With principal photography completed, the film is currently in post-production.
Never one to play it safe, Zombie — with guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D and Ginger Fish on drums — will bring his legendary stage show out in full force on these dates. Audiences will get what they expect from a Rob Zombie show — an amped-up, non-stop barrage of sin, sex and Satan guaranteed to rip your face off, a true rock and roll spectacle at its finest.
The tour will come on the heels of Megadeth’s critically acclaimed return of the traveling festival Gigantour, created and curated by frontman Dave Mustaine. Rave reviews have poured in for the festival, which also features Motorhead, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil.
