Written by megarock on January 24, 2026
MEGADETH played a two-song acoustic set this past Saturday, January 17 at “Let There Be Shred”, a one-day fan event held a short distance outside of Nashville in La Vergne, Tennessee. The exclusive, all-day immersive celebration also included an opportunity for fans hear the band’s new album a few days before its release, a seven-song MEGADETH electric set, a MEGADETH masterclass, a question-and-answer session with the band, guitar talk with MEGADETH leader Dave Mustaine and Gibson CEO César Gueikian, and much more.
Fan-filmed video of the acoustic and electric performances can be seen below.
Session Godfather, who uploaded the footage to YouTube, wrote about the acoustic set: “I was lucky to attend the ‘Let There Be Shred’ album launch event in La Vergne, TN. This is a short acoustic performance before Dave asked if we wanted to go next door for a surprise”, a reference to the electric set which wasn’t part of the official schedule for the event.
