Megadeth are going out on their own terms. They have unveiled what is being positioned as the final new Megadeth release, a claim that aligns with frontman Dave Mustaine’s long-held view that a farewell should mean exactly that. The announcement arrives alongside new live footage showcasing the band in full thrash mode, including a performance of Metallica’s β€œRide the Lightning.”

Megadeth have also confirmed an extensive farewell tour for 2026, spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
