SLAYER, MEGADETH: New 'Canadian Carnage' Dates Announced

November 16, 2009

Canadian concert promoters Gillett Entertainment Group (Groupe Spectacles Gillett) have announced the new dates for the "Canadian Carnage" tour featuring SLAYER and MEGADETH. The trek, which was originally due to begin on November 8, was called off after SLAYER frontman Tom Araya was ordered to undergo an immediate surgical procedure for a back injury, thought to be related to his on-stage activity.

New "Canadian Carnage" tour dates featuring SLAYER and MEGADETH:

Feb. 16 - Colisée Pepsi - Quebec City, QC
Feb. 19 - Air Canada Centre - Toronto, ON
Feb. 20 - Centre Bell - Montreal, QC
Feb. 22 - Moncton Coliseum - Moncton, NB
Feb. 23 - Metro Centre - Halifax, NS

San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans TESTAMENT are being billed as "special guests" for the Toronto show, and are likely to be part of the other dates on the trek as well.

Despite MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover's recent denial that the band will embark on another U.S. tour in February with SLAYER, TESTAMENT and HIGH ON FIRE, rumors continue to swirl that a trek featuring those groups is in the process of being booked.
