These two 80s veterans are still going strong with Adams releasing Shine a Light, his 14th studio album, that features a duet with Jennifer Lopez called “That’s How Strong Our Love Is”. This is his first record since 2015’s Get Up. He also penned the score to a musical adaptation of the 1990 movie Pretty Woman that opened on Broadway in March.

Meanwhile, Idol released Vital Idol: Revitalized last year, containing remixes of most of the tracks found on the 1985 album, which itself was a collection of remixes of songs from his first two solo records.

Both performers will be touring the whole summer. Adams will start his solo jaunt on May 4^th in Charlotte, North Carolina, head out to Europe, Canada, US and wrap up with another round of shows in Europe in December.

Idol’s solo itinerary starts at Ribfest in Naperville, Illinois on July 3^rd, and after the co-headlining resumes on August 30^th in Puyallup, Washington.

The legendary American heavy metal band Metallica is working hard, not only on their upcoming tour but on preparations for their next studio album, a follow up to Hardwired…to Self-Destruct.

Not only did Hardwired…to Self-Destruct receive highly favourable notice, but it was also their first studio album in eight years after Death Magnetic (2008), marking the longest gap between two studio albums in the band’s careers.

Metallica’s Kirk Hammett comments this gap by saying: “When I was 13 or 14 years old, bands put out albums every year. Seriously, Kiss put out an album every eight months – none of this eight years between albums.”

All band members agree that it has been too long, and they hope that they will avoid that this time. They hope since it has been two years already since their last album, they will go into the studio a bit sooner. Hammett adds: “I have a ton of material. I’ve over-compensated, so I’m ready to go anytime.”

Bassist Robert Trujillo reported last month that they had been working hard on new ideas while they are on the road.

We can only hope that the history will not repeat itself since Kirk Hammett lost his phone in 2015 and with it 250 ideas for Hardwired… to Self-Destruct.  Although he still hopes it will turn up, he moved forward keeping in mind that perhaps it was not meant to be.

But no need to reminiscent about the past, since in the future we can all look forward to their new album. And in the meantime, fans from all across Europe can enjoy their well-known hits.

Their European stadium tour starts in Lisbon on May 1 and you can purchase your tickets right here.

Psycho Las Vegas returns this year and continues to make waves with its amazing lineup.

Both heavyweight and new bands are scheduled to play out over four stages across the Mandalay Bay property between 16 and 18 August and heavy metal, rock and punk fans will enjoy their favourite acts so buy your tickets on time.

The three-day festival returns to Las Vegas this August and more than 65 acts will hit the famous stages at Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino. Megadeth, Opeth and Electric Wizards will headline the Psycho Las Vegas and some of the most iconic names in the rock and punk will follow including Mogwai, Bad Religion, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Cold Cave and Andrew WK.

The special event was announced for 15 August when organizers will kick off the festival with Psycho Swim, all-day pool party at Daylight Beach Club featuring Corrosion of Conformity, Lucifer, Danava, ASG, Primitive Man, Idle Hands, Howling Giant and Thrown Into Exile.

Also scheduled to appear is Triumph Of Death, a brand new group established for the single purpose of the exhumation of classic material from Swiss black metal pioneer Thomas Gabriel Fischer’s outfit Hellhammer. The band parted in 1984 in order to form the massively influential Celtic Frost, and now many of Hellhammer’s songs will see their first-ever live performance in over 30 years during Triumph Of Death’s appearance at Psycho Las Vegas, which also will mark the group’s first U.S. performance.

The festival will also feature the popular Youtube heavy metal talk show, Two Minutes to Late Night, who will be posted up at Mandalay Bay all weekend and streaming live interviews with all of the bands.

Megadeth is currently working on a new album and promoting their latest greatest hits compilation Warheads On Foreheads. They were also scheduled to support Ozzy Osbourne on his North American Tour but all his dates were postponed due to his injury. This American heavy metal band was formed in 1983 when guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist David Ellefson left Metallica. The two brought life to Megadeth and made it become one of the “Big Four” American thrash metal bands. They’ve released 15 albums and sold more than 38 million records worldwide. While preparing their sixteenth album, they are also prepping up their first cruise scheduled for October 2019.

They will sail from Los Angeles and include acts like Anthrax, Testament, Overkill and more on their sea adventure. We can’t wait to see what they will come up next so visit Las Vegas and enjoy Psycho fest.
