Heavy metal outfits Megadeth, Lamb of God, In Flames and Trivium have announced their rescheduled summer tour dates for next year, which will launch in Clarkston, Michigan at the DTE Energy Music Theatre on July 9 and finish off at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 10.

Ticket holders for this year’s cancelled shows will be able to use their tickets for the 2021 tour dates, although refunds will also be provided for ticket holders who request them. This tour was originally scheduled to kick off on June 12, however the COVID-19 pandemic had forced the postponement of these shows for the rest of the year.

Megadeth, Lamb of God and Trivium held a live stream event to coincide with the launch date of their cancelled tour, where they showed prerecorded footage from past live concerts. Megadeth released footage from their 2016 concert at St. Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, New York, Lamb of God streamed their surprise House of Vans show in Chicago from earlier this year, while Trivium shared their 2019 DreamHack Dallas performance.

Megadeth’s David Ellefson stated that he was in the studio working on the group’s new album, which was reportedly on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Lamb of God shared a performance of three songs in isolation earlier this month, along with a new music video for their single “Gears.” In Flames most recent studio album I, The Mask came out last summer, while Trivium’s latest record release What The Dead Man Say came out this April.
