Megadeth may be embarking on a farewell tour, but their Countdown to Extinction still has a ways to go.
Frontman Dave Mustaine tells Kerrang! that “we’re easily talking about touring for another three to five years” before Megadeth officially hangs it up.
“And if we’re going to be doing it for that long then, s***, I’ll be looking at the birthday I don’t even want to think about!” the 64-year-old Mustaine adds.
So far, Megadeth’s touring plans include 2026 U.S. dates with Iron Maiden.
A final, self-titled Megadeth album is due out Jan. 23. Lead single “Tipping Point” is out now; a second cut, titled “I Don’t Care,” will premiere Friday.
