Megadeth fans bummed about the postponement of their Jan. 27 Coliseum show with Slayer won't have to wait too long for their heavy metal fix.
Dave Mustaine and company will bring their "Rust in Peace 20th Anniversary Tour" to Club 101 on March 28.
The band will perform its 1990 album "Rust in Peace" album in its entirety.
Additionally, openers Testament (also on the "American Carnage" bill with Megadeth and Slayer) will perform their debut album, "The Legacy," from start to finish.
Also on the bill: Exodus.
I don't have much in the way of ticket info yet, though the fan club pre-sale is Jan. 28, with tickets going on sale to the public on Jan. 29.

• Brendan T. Gleason, Nick Hoff, Kevin Richards and Law Smith are headlining the nationwide "Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour," a fundraiser for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The nearly four-month tour stops at the El Paso Comic Strip, 1201 Airway, at 6 p.m. Jan. 27.
