BBC NEWS: ‘The Megadeth’ Announces Solo European Tour for Summer 2026
Music: Thrash metal icon Dave Mustaine, frontman and driving force of the legendary band Megadeth, has surprised fans by announcing a solo European tour scheduled for the summer of 2026.
Operating under the moniker ‘The Megadeth,’ which he has occasionally used in promotional material to signify his control over the band’s musical direction, Mustaine will play a series of intimate European theatre and club dates. The tour is expected to feature a career-spanning setlist, focusing on material he wrote both for Megadeth and his earlier work.
The announcement comes just months after Megadeth confirmed plans for a final studio album and a multi-year global farewell tour beginning in 2026. This solo run is seen by some as an unexpected prelude, offering fans a unique, close-up experience before the full band’s extensive final run.
Details regarding venues and specific dates across countries like the UK, Germany, and France are expected to be released in the coming weeks, with a focus on smaller, less conventional venues compared to the stadium shows Megadeth is known for.
