In just a couple of months, Megadeth will hit the road with Children of Bodom, Suicidal Tendencies and Havok here in North America and, as expected, some of these bands will take advantage of the journey and sneak in some headlining shows for themselves during some days off or dates where Megadeth plans to play without support.

Children of Bodom just announced a set of headlining dates where they’ll be running the show, and they’ll take Colorado’s Havok with them for some of these dates. The band, as the only foreign band on the bill, will come to the US a few days before the Megadeth tour starts and once on the road with Mustaine and company, will play on nearby cities from their route.
