KINGS OF THRASH! Back down under due to high demand! And with some extra special embellishments. For his first time in Australia, the original MEGADETH guitarist, Chris Poland, will be joining the group to perform the MEGADETH album Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? in its entirety, plus a Best Of set for their upcoming Australian shows. An extra bonus to this run of shows… a very exclusive, Q&A evening with the band themselves in Melbourne.
KINGS OF THRASH Wake Up…Australia! features GRAMMY® Award-winning, co-founding member of Megadeth, bassist David Ellefson, along with guitarist Jeff Young from the acclaimed So Far, So Good… So What! album and finally, after all these years, the original Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland, who recorded the first 2 extremely influential albums Killing Is My Business… and Business Is Good!, along with the multi-platinum worldwide smash, Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?
What an honour it is to reunite these original members of a groundbreaking genre and showcase an evening of early Thrash classics in MELBOURNE*, CANBERRA, BRISBANE, SYDNEY, ADELAIDE (First time) and then MELBOURNE AGAIN! If you were lucky enough to catch the band on their last tour of Australia in 2023… the shows were packed to the rafters and the VIP experience packages were sold out across the board. We were left wanting more…
So, we asked the fans… What would they want for a follow-up tour of Kings of Thrash in Aus? The resounding, definitive answer? What will now be known as the Kings of Thrash “WAKE UP…. AUSTRALIA!” Tour.
This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see this line up… doing this album… with these guys… rounded out most expertly with the esteemed Chaz Leon and Fred Aching, returning once again, upon demand.
