In August, it was revealed that Five Finger Death Punch, Megadeth and Bad Wolves would head out on tour together across Europe.

Full details have now been released, with Ivan Moody and co. headlining, with Megadeth and Tommy Vext’s Bad Wolves joining them as special guests in early 2020.

Five Finger Death Punch will also play a show in Ukraine and two in Russia before the tour gets under way.

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory says: “The lineup is massive. Bad Wolves were the break out band of recent years and are certainly bringing the heat. 

“Megadeth needs no introduction, they are absolute legends. Dave Mustaine’s contribution to this genre is simply immeasurable. I consider him one of the founding fathers of not just thrash but heavy metal in general, because his riffs and guitar playing have influenced everyone that was in Megadeth’s blast radius – and that’s a big radius.”

Mustaine adds: “Hindsight is always 20-20, but looking back it’s still a bit fuzzy. Looking forward, you’ll be in trouble if you don’t come see us with Five Finger Death Punch in early 2020. You don’t wanna miss it. See you soon!”

Tickets will go on general sale from 10am this coming Friday (September 13).
