Artist Bio:
For more than 40 years, Megadeth has been one of the most influential forces in heavy music, helping to shape the sound of thrash metal with their uncompromising songwriting, incredible musicianship and explosive live shows.
Formed by Dave Mustaine in 1983, the band has built a legendary career filled with some of metal’s most recognisable riffs, powerful anthems and unforgettable moments. From their early days in the thrash scene to becoming one of the genre’s biggest names, Megadeth have continued to push boundaries while staying true to the sound that made them icons.
They have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, earned a Grammy Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched ten Top 9 entries on the Billboard 200, including their first-ever No. 1 album with their acclaimed self-titled seventeenth studio release, and captivated millions of fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (ranked No. 8 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and the double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
With a huge global fanbase and a catalogue spanning decades, Megadeth’s live performances remain as powerful as ever. Fans can expect a career-spanning show celebrating every era of the band, featuring classic hits, fan favourites and standout tracks from across their historic catalogue, including songs from their chart-topping No.1 album.
More than four decades on, Megadeth continue to prove why they remain one of heavy metal’s most respected and enduring bands.
Artist News:
Following a huge year for one of heavy metal’s most influential bands, GRAMMY® Award-winning thrash metal legends Megadeth have announced the European leg of their multi-year farewell headline tour, Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations.
The 24-date arena tour will kick off on 9 March 2027 in Belfast, before travelling across the UK and mainland Europe, with stops in cities including [add key dates if needed], before wrapping up on 13 April 2027 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Joining Megadeth throughout the tour will be fellow metal heavyweights Black Label Society and Testament, making the run one of the biggest heavy metal touring line-ups of 2027.
The announcement comes after another landmark chapter in Megadeth’s incredible career, following the release of their seventeenth and final studio album. The record debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200, marking the band’s first-ever album to reach the top spot and further cementing their status as one of metal’s most respected and enduring acts.
The upcoming European dates will give fans across the continent another chance to experience Megadeth’s legendary live show, celebrating more than four decades of groundbreaking music, iconic riffs and unforgettable anthems.
Rather than a single farewell run, Megadeth’s final chapter is being celebrated as a multi-year, multi-continent journey, giving fans around the world the opportunity to come together and experience the band live one more time.
With a career spanning over 40 years, countless influential albums and a legacy that has shaped generations of metal, Megadeth’s farewell tour promises to be a must-see event for fans old and new.
“This isn’t about saying goodbye,” says Dave Mustaine. “It’s about celebrating everything we’ve built together over the last four decades. Every city has its own story, every crowd has given us unforgettable memories, and we want to come back to celebrate that with the fans who made it all possible.”
Mustaine adds:
“When we started talking about this tour, we wanted it to be a true celebration of metal. Black Label Society and Testament are bands we have tremendous respect for, and having them join us makes these shows even more special. This lineup represents decades of heavy music, and it’s going to be an incredible night for the fans.”
