Slayer and Megadeth Team Up for the “American Carnage” Tour

Slayer and Megadeth are teaming up to co-headline the “American Carnage” Tour with Testament.

This tour will mark the first time that Slayer and Megadeth will have toured the U.S. together since 1991′s “Clash of the Titans” tour.

“American Carnage” will kick off on January 18 in Seattle, WA for a 26-date trek across North America that will include the six Canadian dates postponed earlier this month.  Tickets for most shows go on sale this Friday, November 20.  Ticketmaster is offering a special presale for most shows from Wednesday November 18 at 10am until Thursday November 19 at 10pm.

In celebration of the upcoming tour both Megadeth and Slayer have decided to roll back the price of select tickets at every U.S. show to the “1991 price” of $10.00. Tickets at this special price are limited.

Both Megadeth and Slayer will be on the road in support of new albums: Megadeth’s 2009 album, ENDGAME, and Slayer’s World Painted Blood, the band’s 10th studio album, hit stores November 3.  Testament’s The Formation of Damnation:  Special Tour Edition, will be released on February 23, 2010, with special unreleased bonus tracks.
