The chants of “Dave! Dave! Dave!” and “Megadeth! Megadeth! Megadeth!” reverberated through the venue. As the house lights dimmed and smoke billowed across the stage, the crowd erupted. They were barely containable once metal icon Dave Mustaine appeared on stage. With horns high and voices loud, fans throughout every inch of the building echoed back every word. Megadeth unpacked an incredible setlist full of fan favourites, including Symphony Of Destruction, Tornado Of Souls, and Trust. The iconic Vic Rattlehead even graced the stage with an appearance. The night reached its pinnacle with a double encore, closing out with Mechanix and Holy Wars… The Punishment Due.
Having the return of Megadeth in Halifax was a milestone that both veteran and newfound metalheads will cherish for years to come. The experience was a triumphant celebration of the genre’s power to unite, leaving an indelible mark on the city’s musical landscape.
