Thrash metal titans Megadeth are set to deliver a high-voltage performance for their Canadian fans, announcing a highly-anticipated tour stop in Edmonton this winter. The band, led by the iconic Dave Mustaine, will take over Rogers Place on a February evening, bringing a legendary night of metal to the city.
A Powerhouse Metal Lineup
The concert promises to be a full-throttle event, featuring not one, but two other giants of the genre as special guests. Anthrax, one of the "Big Four" of thrash metal alongside Megadeth, will be sharing the stage, ensuring a historic collaboration for fans. Completing the formidable triple-bill is the influential Bay Area thrash band Exodus, rounding out a lineup that represents the very heart of heavy metal.
Event Details and Anticipation
The announcement, made public on November 25, 2025, has already generated significant excitement within Alberta's rock and metal community. Rogers Place, Edmonton's premier downtown arena, is no stranger to major events, but a concert of this specific metal pedigree is a notable addition to its winter calendar. Fans can expect an evening defined by relentless riffs, complex solos, and the raw energy that has defined these bands for decades.
This tour stop is part of a larger North American tour, underscoring the enduring popularity and influential status of Megadeth. For Edmontonians and fans across Western Canada, this is a prime opportunity to witness a piece of music history live. With three legendary acts on one ticket, the February concert at Rogers Place is poised to be one of the must-see live music events of the season for metal enthusiasts.
