Clash of the Titans was the name of a worldwide tour by several popular American thrash metal bands of the 1980s, with alternating headliners from show to show.

History

The tour began in 1990 with a European leg featuring Megadeth, Slayer, Testament and Suicidal Tendencies. A second leg in 1991 in the United States and Canada with a slightly different lineup; this time with headliners Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, and supporting act Alice in Chains. Originally the Bay Area thrashers Death Angel were supposed to be the supporting act, but after an accident which almost took drummer Andy Galeon's life, the band was forced to decline the offer.^{[citation needed]}

On November 16, 2009, it was announced that the European Clash of the Titans lineup would be reunited after almost 20 years on the "American Carnage Tour" featuring Megadeth, Slayer & Testament. On July 13, 2010, a second leg of the "American Carnage Tour" was announced that will feature the American Clash of the Titans lineup: Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax.
