MEGADETH, DAUGHTRY and RAZORLIGHT will headline Gulf Bike Week 2012 next month at the Festival Park, Dubai Festival City, United Arab Emirates. MEGADETH will perform on October 18, with support from Dubai's very own resident rock bands ABSOLACE and SANDWASH.

Tyler Mervyn, Managing Director, Live Nation Middle East, said: "After a year hiatus from the Gulf Bike festival, Live Nation is thrilled to once again be working with Clarion and ecstatic to announce the concert series lineup for Gulf Bike Week 2012. We recognize that there is been a major void in live rock and metal music scene in Dubai, and put together this lineup with that in mind, and feel that the concerts will appeal to everyone; bikers, rockers or otherwise."

Commented MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson: "We are thrilled to be playing Dubai in October 2012. With the recent 'TH1RT3EN' album and current 'Countdown To Extinction' 20th-anniversary tour under way we will have a fantastic selection of songs for you at our concert. Until then....keep on 'thrashing 'till MEGADETH!'"
