Megadeth stand as one of the cornerstones of thrash metal and one of the most influential bands across the broader metal spectrum. The brainchild of Dave Mustaine following his departure from Metallica, the band didn’t simply follow the trends of the era -they redefined the boundaries of the genre, contributing decisively to its formation by combining blistering speed with supreme technical precision.
Through landmark albums that shaped generations of musicians and fans alike, Megadeth established an instantly recognizable sound: intricate riffs, shifting rhythms, and a relentless sense of tension that remained unaltered over the decades. Their journey counts tens of millions of records sold, countless tours, and a Grammy Award, firmly securing their place among the elite of the scene.
On Friday, January 23rd, the band will release their final studio album, marking the end of a historic chapter. In parallel, they embark on a final, worldwide, multi-year tour, choosing to step away on their own terms, at the peak of their creative power.
As part of this farewell tour, Megadeth return to the stage of Plateia Nerou to offer us the opportunity to celebrate together the legacy of a band that redefined metal itself. As Mustaine himself says: ” We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it’s played, and we changed the world.” And he’s absolutely right.
