Megadeth will have Chris Adler drumming during North American tour

Chris Adler is going to be busy the beginning of next year in North America, beginning with the Lamb of God tour with Anthrax in the middle of January all the way through the middle of February, but that won’t stop the Adler machine because he’s just been confirmed to be the one behind the kit for Megadeth’s North American tour with Suicidal Tendencies and Children of Bodom.

Our friend at Metal Injection did the real journalism and contacted Adler’s publcist and asked if he would be joining the tour with Mustaine, to which his publicist answered:

Earlier this week, MEGADETH announced North American dates for its “Dystopia World Tour”, heading out with Suicidal Tendencies, Children of Bodom and Havok. Kicking off February 20th in Dallas, TX, CHRIS ADLER will be behind the kit for the entire run.

While that’s not the possible Lamb of God/Megadeth tour Adler mentioned a few months back, it’s almost like a double-duty for him considering there’s only a week in between the end of Lamb of God tour and the beginning of Megadeth’s so good for him!
