In addition to the Megacruise, frontman Dave Mustaine revealed to radio host Full Metal Jackie that they will also embark on the inaugural “Kegadeth” tour in 2019, which will be a traveling metal and craft beer festival headlined by Megadeth.
“If I went chronologically down the list of everything that’s going on right now,” began Mustaine. “We’re working on wrapping up the music [for a new Megadeth album]… And we are working on the Megacruise. We’re working on Kegadeth, which is a metal music and craft beer festival that we created based around the [Megadeth-branded] À Tout Le Monde beer. Then next year we hope to have a record out.”
Megadeth’s new album will be the follow-up to the Grammy-winning 2016 disc Dystopia.
