MEGADETH played the song 'Puppet Parade' live for the first time during their concert Tuesday night (June 24) at Küçükçiftlik Park in Istanbul, Turkey.

Fan-filmed video of the performance can be seen below.

The band's latest album was released via MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine's Tradecraft imprint on Frontiers Label Group's new BLKIIBLK label in January.

'Puppet Parade' was previously described as a cynical look at the loss of individual agency within the machinery of fame and society.

The song depicts life as a choreographed performance where strings are pulled by unseen hands, and the 'performer' is forced to hide their pain behind a hollow, scripted smile.

Mustaine stated about 'Puppet Parade': "'Puppet Parade' was written in a couple different stages.

The chorus was very difficult to write — not lyrically; musically.

The band's setlist for the Istanbul show included: 01.

Tipping Point 02.

Take No Prisoners 03.

Dread And The Fugitive Mind 04.

Hangar 18 05.

MEGADETH's latest album debuted at the top of the U.S.

album chart after earning 73,000 equivalent album units in the week ending January 29.

The bulk of that sum was driven by pure album sales.

The band also claimed the top spot in Australia and Austria.

Mustaine has clarified that MEGADETH's farewell run of shows could last 'for another three to five years.'
