'90s Metal Band Announces Exclusive Update Amid 2026 Tour
Obituary, the '90s death metal band, surprised fans with an unexpected announcement as they geared up for a highly anticipated tour with Megadeth.
Known for their blazing-fast heavy grooves and unique style of death metal, the band will be joining one of the "Big Four" of American thrash metal as a supporting act.
Currently on a farewell tour, Obituary announced that it was expanding the run with two more dates set for July and August in Wisconsin.
"MEGADETH & OBITUARY live in Wisconsin this Summer. 2 Special shows direct support to the Thrash Legends. July 31 La Crosse, WI @ Oktoberfest Grounds and Aug 01 Green Bay, WI @ Capital Credit Union Park," the caption reads, adding that tickets are currently available.
Fans in the comments section couldn't wait to see the two iconic bands on one stage.
"Sick lineup," one wrote.
"Killer combo," a commenter added.
"That would be a sick show!" a follower echoed.
"2 of my favorite bands…" a fan remarked.
The same sentiment was shared by another fan, who wrote, "F--k yeah, Obituary still has it all these years later. They were one of the best shows I've ever gone to in ‘24."
Apart from Obituary, the event also includes an illustrious list of heavyweights in the music industry.
Megadeth has also tapped thrash icons Anthrax and Exodus to join them as special guests.
This Was Our Life Tour Details
The upcoming tour, This Was Our Life, is Megadeth's multi-year global farewell tour led by frontman Dave Mustaine. It is also a celebration of their final self-titled record, Megadeth, released on Jan. 23, 2026.
The lead vocalist hinted that the farewell tour, which kicked off this year, could span multiple years.
"We're easily talking about touring for another three to five years," Dave told Kerrang!. "And if we're going to be doing it for that long, then, s---, I'll be looking at the (70th) birthday I don't even want to think about!"
According to Mustaine, he doesn't want to keep performing until he is in his 80s.
"I'm not caught up in longevity and stuff like that, and being one of those guys who can play until he's in his 80s," he explained, adding, "I have to remember that people live and they die, and I need to take good care of myself."
From May to mid-July, the farewell tour will perform across Europe and the U.K., followed by a North American leg running through August.
