Megadeth announce European farewell tour with Black Label Society and Testament
An earlier entry on this log, dated 3 August 2026, records that this story was retracted. It no longer describes the story, and the reason is worth stating plainly rather than quietly removing. That entry was accurate when written: the story was retracted that evening as one of two operator test drafts. What changed it was a repair. Migration 0024 re-categorised stories and, through a trigger whose allow-list it had not widened, force-flipped several already-printed stories to held. Migration 0025 restored them, selecting rows on the test "published_at is not null" — which a retracted story also satisfies. It therefore returned this story to published when its state before the flip had been retracted. The earlier entry stands; this paper does not delete from its record, it adds to it. This story is sound and stands as published.
