Following one of the most celebrated years in the band’s legendary career, GRAMMY® Award-winning thrash metal pioneers Megadeth have announced Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations, a European chapter of their multi-year global farewell headline tour. Kicking off March 9, 2027 in Belfast, the 24-date arena run will bring Megadeth to fans across the United Kingdom and mainland Europe before concluding April 13 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Joining Megadeth for the entire tour are fellow metal titans Black Label Society and Testament, creating one of the most anticipated heavy metal touring packages of 2027.
The tour follows the overwhelming global success of Megadeth’s seventeenth and final studio album, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200-the band’s first-ever chart-topping album-and reaffirmed their place as one of heavy metal’s most enduring and influential forces. The European leg will visit 12 of the 22 global markets where the album reached the Top 5, underscoring Megadeth’s continued international appeal. Rather than a single farewell run, the band’s final journey has been designed as a multi-year, multi-continent celebration, giving fans around the world several opportunities to experience Megadeth live.
“This isn’t about saying goodbye,” says Dave Mustaine. “It’s about celebrating everything we’ve built together over the last four decades. Every city has its own story, every crowd has given us unforgettable memories, and we want to come back to celebrate that with the fans who made it all possible.”
Mustaine adds:
“When we started talking about this tour, we wanted it to be a true celebration of metal. Black Label Society and Testament are bands we have tremendous respect for, and having them join us makes these shows even more special. This lineup represents decades of heavy music, and it’s going to be an incredible night for the fans.”
For more than four decades, Megadeth has continually pushed heavy music forward through fearless songwriting, virtuosic musicianship, and uncompromising live performances. Fans can expect a career-spanning production celebrating every era of Megadeth, featuring iconic anthems, fan favorites, and selections from the band’s historic #1 album.
