Kiko Loureiro has shared a video showing what he and his Megadeth bandmates got up to on the last night of their European tour with Five Finger Death Punch.
The band wrapped up the run at Sofia’s Armeec Arena in Bulgaria on February 22 by playing a blistering 11-song set featuring classic tracks including Hangar 18, Symphony Of Destruction, Peace Sells and Holy Wars… The Punishment Due.
But before that took place, Loureiro and his camera explored backstage at the arena, giving fans an insight into what goes on before a show.
The footage shows the guitarist warming up, jamming with bassist David Ellefson and drummer Dirk Verbeuren, checking out the side of the stage, Dave Mustaine sharing a fun moment with Ellefson and more. Watch the 11-minute video below.
While the music world is reeling due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Megadeth and Lamb Of God are still scheduled to head out on tour together across North America later this year.
The bands have lined up a 55-show trek, kicking off in Bristow, Virginia, on June 12 and wrapping up in Reno, Nevada, on November 13. And as if that wasn’t enough, they’ll be bringing Trivium and In Flames along for the ride.
Mustaine said: “Hello me! I’m back again, better than ever and coming to a town near you with Lamb Of God, Trivium and In Flames. If you want high octane metal madness this is the tour for you.”
