Following the Dystopia World Tour kick-off at Beijing, China’s MasterCard Center on October 6th which ended abruptly after an hour, Megadeth performed at Shanghai Indoor Stadium in Shanghai on October 8th and gave the crowd an uncensored, full-on thrash feast of their greatest hits except one!

According to Shanghaidaily.com, “The friendly tone was kept through the stage banter with front man Dave Mustaine in high spirits, good-naturedly teasing a chanting crowd that the band couldn’t play ‘Holy Wars’.”

Megadeth performed:
“Hangar 18”
“Kingmaker”
“Wake Up Dead” 
“In My Darkest Hour” 
“Sweating Bullets” 
“She-Wolf’ 
“Dawn Patrol” 
“Poison Was The Cure” 
“Trust”
“A Tout Le Monde” 
“Skin O' My Teeth” 
“Tornado Of Souls” 
Cold Sweat” (Thin Lizzy cover)
“Symphony Of Destruction”
“Peace Sells”

Megadeth will kick off 2016 with the release of their 15th studio album Dystopia on Universal Music Enterprises /Tradecraft / T-Boy Records on January 22nd. With musical architect and band visionary Dave Mustaine at the helm, Dystopia was recorded in Nashville, TN, and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira, Avenged Sevenfold).

The rest of the Megadeth lineup is comprised of David "Junior" Ellefson on bass, new member Kiko Loureiro (Angra) on guitar, and drummer Chris Adler, who took time away from Lamb Of God to record Dystopia. The result marks a true return to form, adding new blood and injecting a new burst of creative energy into the new album.
