Megadeth will continue to tour in 2024 promoting their most recent album “The Sick, The Dying… and the Dead” and they just announced shows in Peru, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador and Mexico next April. There is still no information if the band’s guitarist Kiko Loureiro will be part of those shows since he is still not touring with the band due to personal matters.
“April of 2024 Megadeth returns to South America to support our latest record, ‘The Sick, The Dying, And The Dead!’, and I always get excited because there is something truly different about South America. I don’t know what it is… but whatever IT is, they come by it naturally. We are also planning a really big surprise for where ‘Aguante Megadeth’ all started in Buenos Aires, too! So… if you can, DO NOT MISS THAT SHOW!” Dave Mustaine said.
The band is currently formed by Dave Mustaine (Guitar and vocals), James LoMenzo (Bass), Kiko Loureiro (Guitar – Not touring) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums).
