Megadeth Announces ‘Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations’ 2027 European Tour

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, Northern Ireland, 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 a solid heavy metal touring package.

The tour follows the success of Megadeth’s seventeenth and final studio album, which debuted at number one 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.

Tickets for the band’s fanclub, the Cyber Army, go on sale Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 10 a.m. local time; the artist presale launches Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. local, and the general sale kicks off Friday, Aug. 7, at 10 a.m.

Megadeth have only just been in Europe. Pollstar Boxoffice highlights from this year’s visit to the continent include a sold-out Heinz von Heiden Arena in Hannover, Germany, June 2, where the band moved 41,181 tickets, grossing $4,683,899; a May 25 performance at Roig Arena in Valencia, Spain (9,092 tickets, $725,707 grossed).

Megadeth is managed by CTK Enterprises’ Danny Nozell, Steve Ross, Kyle McClain and Justis Mustaine, and booked by UTA’s Neil Warnock. With 440 headline reports submitted to Pollstar’s Boxoffice dating back to 1999, the band has sold a total of 1.7 million tickets, grossing $91.5 million.
