For now, the band has launched a mailing list at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megacruise.com\">http:\/\/www.megacruise.com <\/a>through which subscribers will be &#8220;the first to know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In June, Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine told &#8220;Rock Talk with Mitch Lafon&#8221; that the band would be launching their own festival\/tour. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got a huge festival that we&#8217;re gonna be announcing,&#8221; Mustaine said. &#8220;It&#8217;s really a big deal. It&#8217;s kind of the equivalent of Gigantour, but it&#8217;s a much fresher idea. We&#8217;ve got that set up in about 10 cities in April, and then we&#8217;re gonna do it again for a three-day weekend in the middle of the year, and we&#8217;re gonna do probably about another 10 of those dates at the latter part of the year.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMegadeth is an American heavy metal band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1983 with its roots in thrash metal, a genre that its founder, singer\/songwriter and guitarist Dave Mustaine helped pioneer. The band has since released 14 studio albums.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMustaine&#8217;s musical roots began early on listening to AC\/DC and Led Zeppelin, and took form in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal when he co-founded Metallica. Megadeth emerged in 1985 at the forefront of the thrash\/speed metal scene with their seminal debut &#8220;Killing Is My Business\u2026 And Business Is Good&#8221;, and continued on a blistering path of albums and tours throughout the decade.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: Lambgoat<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Megadeth\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Megadeth\/<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEGADETH has revealed plans to stage the inaugural Megacruise in 2019, though further details have&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71897","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71897"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71897\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71900,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71897\/revisions\/71900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
