Hatebreed and Trivium are both on the road at the moment; Hatebreed is headlining over Cannibal Corpse, Unearth, Born of Osiris and Hate Eternal, while Trivium is being supported by Whitechapel, Chimaira and Dirge Within. But for two nights at the end of this month, the tours are combining into massive festivals. On November 27 in San Francisco and November 28 in Los Angeles, you'll be able to see all nine of these bands for one ticket price (plus however much coffee you need to drink to make it through a day-long bill like that).
This raises the question: Given the current economic climate, are you more likely to go to a show that offers greater value for money? How is the recession impacting your spending on metal? Take the poll and let us know.
