Megadeth in Wembley

Megadeth is an American thrash metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1983 by guitarist and vocalist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson. The band is known for albums including Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?, Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction, as well as songs such as “Holy Wars... The Punishment Due,” “Peace Sells” and “Symphony of Destruction.” In 1990, Megadeth joined Slayer, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies on the European Clash of the Titans tour; the following year's North American run also featured Anthrax and Alice in Chains. Dave Mustaine created Gigantour in 2005, and its inaugural bill paired the band with Dream Theater. The Rust in Peace 20th Anniversary Tour followed in 2010, when the album was performed in full, and the band later appeared with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax at the Big Four concert held at Yankee Stadium in 2011.
