Megadeth has confirmed their 2027 European tour dates, marking their first UK headlining run since 2015. This tour serves as a major part of the band's ongoing farewell series. Joining them on the road will be Black Label Society and Testament. The band has been performing throughout North and Latin America earlier this year as they prepare to wrap up their decades-long run.
Dave Mustaine formed the band in 1983 and since then they have sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Mustaine announced the group's retirement last summer, citing a desire to end on his own terms alongside physical health challenges, specifically a radial nerve condition that makes guitar playing painful. He has encouraged fans to celebrate the band's history rather than focus on the departure.
Live Nation pre-sale tickets for the UK dates open at 9am on August 6, followed by the general sale at 10am on August 7. The tour will hit major venues across the UK including London, Manchester, and Glasgow before moving into mainland Europe for shows in France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland, and Italy.
This final era of the band follows the release of their self-titled studio album in January, which reached the top of the US charts. Rumors also persist regarding a potential greatest hits collection titled Fast Hits due for release later this month. Fans should prepare for high demand as these dates represent the final opportunity to see the group perform a full headlining set in these markets.
