Megadeth announce European farewell tour with Black Label Society and Testament
The thrash veterans will launch “Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations” in Belfast on 9 March 2027.

Megadeth have confirmed a European leg of their ongoing multi-year global farewell headline tour, to be styled “Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations.” Black Label Society and Testament are named as the supporting acts for the run, which forms part of a wider campaign the band have pursued across successive years.
The dates open on 9 March 2027 in Belfast, United Kingdom, before proceeding through further European cities into April. The source text notes the tour is described as a “European chapter” of the wider farewell undertaking, suggesting additional continental dates beyond those so far announced.
For devotees of the heavier persuasion, the pairing of Megadeth with Testament places two of thrash metal’s long-standing American acts on the same bill, while Black Label Society supplies a further draw from the heavy metal tradition. No venue for the Belfast opening date was named in the available material.
Why it matters — A farewell tour from one of thrash metal’s foremost acts, paired with two substantial support acts, represents a significant event for the European heavy-metal touring calendar in early 2027.
