"I hope we'll be playing up in space," Mustaine said. "I think that will be a really fitting climax. And I'm not talking about on the side of a vomit comet. A gig on the moon, a full moon landing, that would be cool."
"I saw they sent up a bunch of celebrities into space and I thought 'Well, if them, why not me?', you know? I'm just watching how that all progresses. I know Elon Musk and Richard Branson were working on interstellar travel. I think people are going to be travelling to space a lot sooner than you think."
"People already travel over 40,000 feet altitude, and when you get to that kind of atmosphere you're basically already in space," he said. "So I do think it's going to happen. The question is, are people going to be able to inhabit the moon?"
Dave Mustaine hopes Megadeth's final performance will take place on the moon, envisioning a full moon landing concert as the fitting climax to the farewell tour. He referenced celebrity suborbital flights by Blue Origin, SpaceX, and Virgin Galactic as signs that space travel is becoming accessible. Mustaine expressed confidence that people will travel to space sooner than expected and questioned whether long-term lunar habitation will be possible. Megadeth's farewell tour will run three to five years and launches in Spring 2026 with a Latin American leg, a European festival run in June, and a month supporting Iron Maiden in North America beginning in late August.
