Why this recording

Tipping Point opens the set and Holy Wars... The Punishment Due closes it: in between, the fourteen songs played at Graspop Metal Meeting on June 18, 2026 are timestamped one by one in the description. The most unusual moment comes at 46:35 with Ride the Lightning, a Metallica song Megadeth covers in the middle of their farewell tour, followed by Peace Sells and Symphony of Destruction before the finale. Shared by a fan channel, the video is billed in its title as a pro-shot recording.

Full live concert by Megadeth at the Graspop Metal Meeting in Dessel, Belgium, on 18 June 2026. The Californian thrash metal band founded by Dave Mustaine performs as part of its farewell tour, announced in 2025 alongside a final self-titled album released in January 2026. The roughly seventy-minute set stacks up the classics — Hangar 18, Tornado of Souls, Sweating Bullets, Symphony of Destruction and the essential Holy Wars… The Punishment Due — and slips in a cover of Metallica’s Ride the Lightning, a song Mustaine co-wrote during his early years in that band. Alongside the founder, guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari, bassist James LoMenzo and drummer Dirk Verbeuren drive a sharp, technical full concert. A valuable live capture documenting the farewell run of one of thrash metal’s cornerstones. Year: 2026, venue: Dessel, Belgium. A filmed live concert and full-set document for every fan of live metal, thrash and the classic Megadeth catalogue on stage.
