Megadeth

Quick answer

Yes — Megadeth has officially confirmed a 2027 tour. It's called "Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations," the European/UK chapter of the band's multi-year global farewell run, announced August 3, 2026. It kicks off March 9 in Belfast and wraps April 13 in Lisbon, with 24 arena dates across the UK and mainland Europe.

Black Label Society and Testament are direct support on every date. No North American 2027 dates have been announced yet — this leg is Europe/UK only for now.

What's actually confirmed vs. what isn't

✅ Confirmed:

• 24-date European/UK arena tour, March 9 – April 13, 2027
• Full support lineup: Black Label Society and Testament on every show
• Presale/on-sale schedule (below)
• VIP packages including meet-and-greet upgrades, photo-op upgrades, and early entry, sold directly through megadeth.com

⚠️ Not yet announced:

• Any 2027 North American, Australian, Japanese, or South American dates
• Exact ticket prices for general admission or VIP tiers
• Setlist — no official setlist has been released for this leg

We'll update this page the moment any of that changes, so bookmark it rather than a static ticket-site listing.

Ticket and presale schedule

This is time-sensitive, so pay attention to time zones (each is local venue time):

| Access tier | Date | Time | |---|---|---| | Megadeth Cyber Army presale | Tuesday, August 4, 2026 | 10:00 AM local | | Artist presale | Wednesday, August 5, 2026 | 10:00 AM local | | General on-sale | Friday, August 7, 2026 | 10:00 AM local |

Cyber Army members use the unique presale code on their account page at megadeth.com. There's no official word yet on which ticketing platform handles general sale city-by-city (expect Ticketmaster/AXS depending on venue, as is typical for these arenas) — always buy through the link on the official tour page to avoid resale markups or scams.

VIP packages

Confirmed VIP offerings, sold exclusively through megadeth.com:

• Individual band member meet-and-greet upgrades
• Full-band photo opportunity upgrades
• Early entry packages (available through the Cyber Army presale window)

Exact pricing and per-city availability haven't been published yet. VIP inventory for arena tours like this typically sells out fastest in the Cyber Army presale window, so if a meet-and-greet matters to you, that's the window to act in.

Why this tour, and why "farewell"

This leg follows the release of Megadeth's self-titled seventeenth and final studio album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — the band's first-ever chart-topping record. Dave Mustaine has framed the run not as a somber goodbye but as a multi-year, multi-continent celebration: the European leg alone touches 12 of the 22 global markets where that album hit the Top 5.

"This isn't about saying goodbye. It's about celebrating everything we've built together over the last four decades." — Dave Mustaine

Expect a career-spanning set pulling from four decades of material, though no confirmed setlist exists yet.

Support acts: Black Label Society and Testament

Both bands are on the full 24-date run, not just select dates. That's a notably strong package — Testament's own thrash pedigree and Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society give this tour a genuine "if you like one, you'll want to see all three" pull, which is worth factoring into travel plans if you're weighing which city to catch it in.
