Megadeth’s farewell tour is officially underway with the band playing the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre in Victoria, British Columbia to kick off a Canadian leg of shows and we’ve got the setlist and some fan shot video to share.
What Did Megadeth Play at their 2026 Farewell Tour Kickoff?
It was a very hits-centric performance for the veteran thrashers, who delivered a 17-song set that primarily stuck to their back catalog. Though the band just issued their new self-titled final studio album, only two songs from that set were included in the performance. One was the lead single, “Tipping Point,” which served as the night’s concert opener. The other was the punk-tinged “I Don’t Care” which came six songs into the evening.

Those potentially seeing Megadeth for the last time should not be disappointed in the set, which featured such Megadeth classics as “Hangar 18,” “Sweating Bullets,” “Countdown to Extinction,” “Symphony of Destruction,” “Peace Sells” and the show-closing “Holy Wars … The Punishment Due.”
The full setlist, along with fan-shot video from opening night of the tour, can be viewed below.

Megadeth’s Farewell Plans + Tour Dates
The thrash giants first revealed their plans for a final tour last August when they announced their last studio album, Megadeth. The record has since come out and they’ve also added several legs to their 2026 tour itinerary, most of which are headlining shows.
Their first trek of the year kicks off in mid-February and will hit various cities in Canada with support from Anthrax and Exodus. They’ll also head to Latin America, Europe and then back to North America to support Iron Maiden on their 50th anniversary Run for Your Lives tour.
The group will even play Kazakhstan for the first time during their farewell run.
“We’re easily talking about touring for another three to five years,” Dave Mustaine told Kerrang! in late 2025.
