Adelaide’s Double Dragon have been confirmed as the opening band on the upcoming Slayer/Megadeth Australian Tour in October.
The band will be appearing at all Australian dates. Vocalist Lee comments: “This is pretty much a dream come true for any metal head in a metal band, we thought we won the metal lottery last time SLAYER came through and we got to open in our home town, but to be offered the whole tour is just mind blowing, not only do we get to open for these two legendary acts, but we get too see them 5 times each! With a new album in the works, we really couldn’t be happier right now!”
Following the tour, the band will be hitting the studio to record the follup up to their debut album, "Devastator," released in Australia in 2008 through Truth Inc Records. Double Dragon will also be appearing at Australia’s premiere metal festival, "Against the Grain 5," and will be heading out on the road with Chimaira in January Australia wide.
Here are Double Dragon's opening slots on the SLAYER and MEGADETH 2009 NZ/Australian tour:

lucky Australia!
you have a very very strong metal following (for instance bands don`t usually do signing s over here or meets and greets) and some great tours and festivals, although in the u.k we dont do too badly either.
fingers crossed this comes here as well!
