Megadeth marked a major milestone on January 17 with an intimate, invitation-only appearance at Noz Entertainment in La Vergne, Tennessee, where the band unveiled a live first for longtime fans. During the exclusive gathering, the group performed “I Don’t Care” on stage for the first time ever.
The performance took place as part of a private pre-listening event tied to Megadeth’s forthcoming and final studio album, Megadeth. Marketed as a premium, all-day experience — with tickets reportedly priced at $950 — the event offered attendees early access to the new record alongside personal stories, behind-the-scenes insights, and a rare mixed-format live set.
The show featured both stripped-down acoustic moments and a full electric portion, culminating in the debut performance of “I Don’t Care“, a track drawn from the upcoming album. According to setlist.fm, the evening unfolded as follows:
Acoustic set:
- “Angry Again”
- “She-Wolf”
Electric set:
- “Tipping Point”
- “I Don’t Care” (live debut)
- “Sweating Bullets”
- “Tornado Of Souls”
- “Symphony Of Destruction”
- “Peace Sells”

Megadeth’s final studio album, Megadeth, is set for release on January 23, 2026, via Dave Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with BLKIIBLK under the Frontiers Label Group umbrella. Mustaine has previously described the album as the opening chapter of Megadeth’s final era as a studio recording band.
