Megadeth, the legendary thrash metal band, has officially announced their farewell tour, marking a significant milestone in the band’s illustrious career. The announcement came last August alongside the release of their final studio album, aptly titled “Megadeth.” Since then, the band has expanded their 2026 tour itinerary with multiple legs, featuring headlining shows across various continents.
Upcoming Tour Highlights
The band is set to kick off their first leg of the farewell tour in mid-February 2026, embarking on a journey through Canada with support from fellow thrash metal icons Anthrax and Exodus. Following their Canadian dates, Megadeth will traverse Latin America and Europe before returning to North America to support Iron Maiden on their 50th anniversary “Run for Your Lives” tour. Notably, this farewell tour will also include their debut performance in Kazakhstan.
