MEGADETH To Play Indonesia, Korea

August 16, 2007

MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine has posted the following message in the "Forums" section of the band's web site:

"I will check in later when we know more, but we have officially confirmed Jakarta, Indonesia with my good friend Tommy Pratama, and Seoul, Korea with our good promoter H. J. Jeon too.

"I am so excited to go back to South Korea; it has been a long time and I love the people (especially because of learning so much about Korea for my Chodan). And Jakarta was such a different experience that I doubt I would ever have been able to take all of Indonesia in. However, I would love to go see the waves, but sea snakes scare me, and I seem to remember the surf being great down there, but something was ominous and dangerous about surfing there.

"Anyway, I will see great waves the following week in Australia, and while we still are unconfirmed for China, India, and Malaysia, we are still working on making those dreams come true!"

MEGADETH's U.S. tour this fall kicks off in Anchorage, Alaska on September 4, taking the band through 24 U.S. cites ending up in Norfolk Virginia on October 6. Support on the dates will come from IN THIS MOMENT and THE CONFESSION.

The artwork for MEGADETH's upcoming box set, "Warchest", has been posted online at this location. The 4-CD+DVD collection features more than six hours of digitally remastered content, hand-selected by Mustaine, including 30 audio and video tracks making their global release debuts, and an additional three tracks that have never before been released in the U.S. "Warchest"'s October 2 release caps Mustaine and Capitol/EMI's in-depth MEGADETH catalog remastering and restoration campaign, which has encompassed the band's Capitol studio albums, while also adding new audio and video collections to the band's arsenal.

MEGADETH's latest CD, "United Abominations", has sold 122,000 copies in the United States since its May 15 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
