Their tour together was due to start in the US this week until it was pushed back to 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but Megadeth, Lamb Of God, In Flames and Trivium will still join forces for a special Metal Tour Of The Year streamed event on Friday (12 June).

The four bands are sharing live performances of special shows on Friday 12 June beginning at 2pm PDT / 5pm EDT / 10pm BST / 11pm CEST. The event will be hosted by SiriusXM’s Jose Mangin and will include exclusive interviews.
