News : Megadeth drops Newsted from Soundwave sidewaves

By on February 6, 2014

Soundwave Touring have confirmed that at the request of Megadeth, Newsted will not be performing at the Melbourne and Sydney sidewaves.

Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted’s new band Newsted were set to support Megadeth and Volbeat in Sydney on Tuesday, 25th February at the UNSW Roundhouse and then in Melbourne on Thursday, 27th February at the Forum Theatre, but have now been mysteriously dropped from the line-up with no explanation.

This announcement really puts ashes in our mouth. Soundwave Touring have confirmed that Newsted will be replaced by Whitechapel. Volbeat will still be performing at both shows. Original purchased tickets are still valid for the new line-up change. Tickets on sale now.
