Megadeth Returns to Conquer the World: The Global Tour 2026 — the band’s monumental farewell to fans around the globe:
In 2026, legendary thrash metal pioneers Megadeth are embarking on what’s shaping up to be their most ambitious and emotionally charged journey yet — a global tour that celebrates their career and bids farewell to fans worldwide. Announced in 2025 alongside plans for their final studio album, Megadeth, the This Was Our Life tour marks a full-circle moment for the band after more than four decades leading the metal scene.
The year’s live schedule is packed with diverse performances, from headlining shows and festival appearances to high-profile supporting slots. The trek kicks off with a Canadian leg in February and March featuring support from fellow metal titans Anthrax and Exodus, bringing classic thrash intensity to audiences across eight provinces.
Beyond North America, Megadeth’s itinerary spans Latin America with confirmed dates in Lima, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Santiago and Monterrey — thrilling South American metalheads with relentless energy and career-spanning setlists.
In the summer, the band joins forces with heavy metal icons Iron Maiden on their Run For Your Lives World Tour, exposing fans in the United States and Canada to a powerhouse lineup that also spotlights Anthrax on select dates.
Festival appearances and European stops — including a confirmed show in Almaty, Kazakhstan — broaden the tour’s reach and underscore its status as a truly global affair.
For many fans, this trek isn’t just a series of concerts — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of one of metal’s most influential bands, a chance to hear classic anthems like Symphony of Destruction, Peace Sells and more before the curtain falls on an iconic career.
