Megadeth joins the lineup on LIVE75, entering the top 10 at #6 based on ticket sales from five shows on the thrash metal band’s Crush The World Tour that played Latin American venues in April, reports Pollstar. After kicking off in Peru on April 6, the tour featured 12 concerts in eight countries and wrapped in El Salvador on the 30th of the month.
Contributing to the group’s ranking on the chart were an April 9 performance at Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, that was attended by 14,828 fans and, later in the month, a two-night stint at Bogotá, Colombia’s Movistar Arena, April 21-22, that logged 21,074 sold tickets and a $1.4 million gross. Then, back-to-back concerts in Mexico at Arena CDMX in Mexico City on the 25th and Arena Monterrey on the 27th produced 18,706 and 18,764 sold tickets, respectively.

Featuring some of Mustaine’s strongest-ever songwriting, the tour offers an equally ambitious live performance that delivers on all fronts.
"Our 'Crush The World' tour has been a tremendous experience for the four of us,” shared Dave Mustaine. “We are all playing tight, and that has made it possible for me to really focus on solos and singing, we are playing more songs than ever before, and we are closer to each other, onstage AND off. I'm excited to see Mudvayne, and All That Remains. Join us as we DESTROY ALL ENEMIES.”
The North American jaunt comes on the heels of a highly anticipated and successful stint in Latin America wrapping this month and starting back up in Europe this summer. With stops in Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and México and forthcoming dates in Sweden, Italy, France, Germany and more, the band’s global appeal and lasting impact is more apparent than ever as continued calls for international touring are demanded.
