Megadeth has announced Canadian dates for their farewell tour, featuring fellow metal legends Anthrax and Exodus. The band shared this exciting news on Instagram.
The band declared their readiness to bring the tour north of the border in their official announcement. “Canada 2026. It’s time. Tickets dropping soon,” they said.
This farewell tour represents a historic moment for thrash metal fans. It marks the beginning of Megadeth’s global farewell tour, which is expected to span three to five years. The Canadian leg will be one of the first major stops on this monumental journey.
The Canadian tour kicks off on February 15, 2026, in Victoria, BC, according to Consequence. It wraps up on March 6, 2026, in Québec City, QC. The tour will span 12 cities across the country, bringing the legendary thrash metal lineup to fans from coast to coast. Tickets for the Canadian dates went on sale in late November 2025, as reported by Ticketmaster. Various pre-sales preceded the general public sale.
The timing of this tour is particularly significant. Megadeth’s official announcement reveals that the tour supports the band’s self-titled final album, set for release on January 23, 2026. This album marks a milestone in the band’s storied career and will serve as the soundtrack to their farewell journey.
The collaboration between these metal titans extends beyond the Canadian dates. Later in 2026, Megadeth and Anthrax will join Iron Maiden as support acts for Iron Maiden’s North American tour, as noted by Loudwire. This creates an unprecedented gathering of metal legends. The farewell tour promises to be a major event for fans, celebrating Megadeth’s legacy and influence on thrash metal.
