After an incredible band history and decades of metal, Megadeth will now bid farewell to their fans with one last album and a farewell tour. The news was delivered by the band’s mascot, Vic Rattlehead. So far, only one detail has been revealed — we can expect both the album and the tour dates in 2026.
This is Megadeth’s official statement via Vic Rattlehead:
“We can't wait for you to hear this album and see us on tour. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it's now. If there was ever a perfect time to tour the world, it's now. This is also a perfect time for us to tell you that it's our last studio album. We've made a lot of friends over the years and I hope to see all of you on our global farewell tour.
“Don't be mad, don't be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years. We have done something together that's truly wonderful and will probably never happen again. We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it's played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.”
So, get ready to turn it up loud with Megadeth one last time.
