Earshot will be handling support for tour with the exception of the California and Arizona dates where Exodus will be opening. 

The touring lineup for Megadeth had a bit of a shakeup recently. Former drummer Nick Menza returned to the fold but has again left the group. Eidolon's Shawn Drover will be handling drum duties and will join his former bandmate Glen Drover (guitar), Iced Earth's James MacDonough (bass) and of course Dave Mustaine (vocals, guitar).
