Megadeth have announced UK and European shows for 2027. 

One of thrash metal’s legendary "Big Four," the Grammy-winning band will take their multi-year farewell tour to arenas in Belfast, London, Nottingham, Manchester, Cardiff, Glasgow, Birmingham and Leeds between March 9 and 19, followed by shows across Europe running from March 21 to April 13. Tickets go on general sale at 10am local time this Friday (August 7) - Compare and buy tickets here.

Billed as Breakout: Hibernation Of The Nations, the tour will feature support from fellow metal heavyweights Black Label Society and Testament. 

"When we started talking about this tour, we wanted it to be a true celebration of metal," Mustaine explained. "Black Label Society and Testament are bands we have tremendous respect for, and having them join us makes these shows even more special. This lineup represents decades of heavy music, and it's going to be an incredible night for the fans."

The band, who released their self-titled final studio album in January, will continue their worldwide farewell trek with shows supporting Iron Maiden across North America over the next few months, followed by dates with the heavy metal legends in Australia and New Zealand in November. 

Don Omar

Don Omar has joined the line-up for The O2's 20th birthday celebrations next summer. 

The Puerto Rican reggaeton star will top the bill at the London venue on July 5. He said: “It’s an honour to return to London, especially this time to celebrate with all of you. It’s going to be a very special celebration, and I’m incredibly excited.” Tickets are on sale now - Compare and buy yours here.

Also confirmed for the milestone celebrations are Maisie Peters, who'll headline on May 8, and Shreya Ghoshal, who headlines on June 4. Tickets for those shows are on sale now, too.

Omar released his latest album, 'Forever King', in 2023. He'll continue to support it with the North American leg of The Last King World Tour this autumn, with another lined up next spring and a European leg next summer. 

Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett will bring The Soundtrack To Life Tour to the UK next year.

A deluxe edition of the record arrived last year.

Rhett will continue The Soundtrack To Life Tour across North America next week, with dates running throughout September and October. He'll also play two concerts in December at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas.
