Belfast midweek is gonna be a hell of a trek up and down from the wesht! I'm guessing this will be their last appearance on Irish shores though so gonna have to be done

Yup, gonna be a bit of a trip. Hotels seem very cheap right now though so might just make a night of it.

They support Disturbed here in late 2025.
I doubt they'd sell out 3Arena

Many Megadeth fans including me and alot of lads I know didn't go , 1st of all as it was a support slot, and also because of Draimans pro genocide antics. This show would have brought 10k I reckon to the 3 Arena?

Farewell tour, I'd imaginge it would have gotten enough interest to justify a 3Arena show. If Sepultura can do it...

Still plenty of tickets left for Sepultura.

I don't think Megadeth are a big draw any more

Just looked it up and : "We're easily talking about touring for another three to five years," Dave Mustaine told Kerrang! in late 2025

Ah right, I thought Sepultura was a sellout.

I don't think so. Megadeth were never a massive draw here anyways. They'd play and fill the SFX in the 90's or the Ambassador in the 2000s. Both 900-1000 capacity venues.

Their last headliner here pulled about 5K with Lamb of God in the 3 Arena.

Still with 11k capacity and likely a few thousand northern fans i think this will sell out , plus it will lilely be last time we see the band

DME posted that they couldn't get a Dublin show due to venue availability, so I'm guessing the 3 Arena is already booked for when the tour would be coming here
