Megadeth Kicks Off Farewell Tour with a Historic Concert at Roig Arena
The legendary thrash metal band launched their highly anticipated "The Farewell Tour 2026" in front of nearly 10,000 fans.
The Cost and Crisix set the stage for an unforgettable night of pure metal.
Nearly 10,000 fans gathered tonight at the Roig Arena to witness the Spanish kickoff of "The Farewell Tour 2026." With this tour, the legendary American band Megadeth, led by the inexhaustible Dave Mustaine, puts the crowning touch on more than four decades of global thrash metal history.
The atmosphere of a monumental night could be felt since mid-afternoon. The Cost were the first to take the stage, followed by Crisix. Around 10:00 PM, the lights at the Roig Arena went out to welcome the true deities of the night. Megadeth stormed the stage roaring with power, delivering a meticulously crafted and devastating setlist that revisited the greatest anthems of their career.
The concert kicked off with the raw power of "Tipping Point" and the iconic "Hangar 18," followed immediately by "Skin O' My Teeth." Mustaine and his crew kept the crowd in the palm of their hand, chaining together classics like "She-Wolf," "Angry Again," and their unique cover of "I Don't Care."
One of the peak, most chanted moments of the evening came with the trifecta of "Poison," "Sweating Bullets," and the ultra-powerful "Let There Be Shred." The collective madness continued with the speed of "Countdown" and "Mechanix," right before treating the sea of fans to a historic moment: their acclaimed cover of Metallica's classic "Ride the Lightning," executed with flawless mastery.
