Megadeth donating concert proceeds to Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma



Megadeth have announced that the proceeds from the band’s July 16 Gigantour stop in Oklahoma City will be donated to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.

“Many amazing bands have come forward to aid Oklahomans since the May tornadoes came and tore apart their homes and lives,” says Dave Mustaine. “Now it’s time for Heavy Metal to give to this community!”

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma has been providing for victims non-stop and will be doing so for months to come by way of a food pantry in Moore serving over 200 families each day, daily food boxes and care packages to disaster agencies and volunteers that continue clean-up and rebuilding efforts, and so much more.

In addition to the Gigantour donation from the OKC Zoo Amphitheatre date, Megadeth, members of other bands from the festival, and local celebrities will participate in an All-Star softball game July 15th at the ASA Hall of Fame Complex, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma. Softball game patrons are asked to make a minimum $5.00 donation at the event to help raise funds for the cause.

To learn more and to make a donation, visit regionalfoodbank.org

In support of their latest album, “Super Collider,” Megadeth will kick off Gigantour on July 3rd in Gilford, NH; joining the band will be Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted and Death Division – all personally picked by Mustaine.
