Istanbul: American metal band Megadeth, one of the pioneers of the thrash metal genre, will take the stage at KucukCiftlik Park, Istanbul, on Sept. 22.
According to Anadolu Agency, after their concert in Trkiye last June, where tickets sold out in just 15 minutes, the band will perform only in Istanbul during their European tour, aside from their upcoming shows with Disturbed, an American heavy metal band.
Megadeth, with drummer Dirk Verbeuren, bassist James LoMenzo, guitarist Teemu Mantysaari, and guitarist/vocalist Dave Mustaine, will perform songs from their new album for the first time for their Turkish fans.
Formed by Dave Mustaine, who left Metallica, Megadeth released their debut album “Killing is My Business… And Business is Good!” in 1985.
Dave Mustaine was ranked number one in the 2009 Top 100 Metal Guitarists list. He has been nominated for the Grammys 13 times and won the Best Metal Performance award in 2016 for the song “Dystopia” from their album of the same name.
