James LoMenzo will rejoin Megadeth for the Metal Tour Of The Year. James played on 2007’s United Abominations and Endgame from 2009, before being replaced by David Ellefson in 2010.
“I’m happy to announce that former bassist and Megadeth alumni James LoMenzo has graciously stepped in on the Metal Tour of The Year,” Dave Mustaine told MetalTalk. “Tour rehearsals just began, and we cannot wait to start crushing North America.”
“I’m super stoked to be rejoining Megadeth for the upcoming Metal Tour of the Year,” James LoMenzo says. “There are no better fans than Megadeth fans. I can’t wait to get out there and shred some Megadeth music with you all.”
The tour sees Megadeth co-headlining with Lamb Of God, with the bands being joined by Trivium and Hatebreed.Â
The rescheduled tour will now kick off on Friday, August 20th in Austin, TX and hit a further 27 cities before wrapping in Quebec City, QC, on Saturday, October 2nd.
