Mumbai’s metal fans have a date to lock in. Marty Friedman, the former Megadeth guitarist and one of metal’s most respected names, is set to perform live in the city on 16th January 2026 at Phoenix Palladium, Lower Parel. Tickets are now live on District by Zomato.

This isn’t just another international gig. It marks Marty Friedman’s return to Mumbai after his 2019 performance, which is still remembered for its insane crowd energy and note-perfect solos.

Marty Friedman Returns to Mumbai in January 2026

During the 1990s, Marty Friedman helped define Megadeth’s sound with albums like Rust in Peace, Countdown to Extinction, and Youthanasia. His solos stood out not just for technique, but for melody, tracks that metal fans still revisit decades later.

Beyond Megadeth, Friedman has built a solid solo career and earned a loyal global following. From his early work with Cacophony to his genre-blending solo albums, his playing style remains instantly recognizable.

If his last Mumbai concert is anything to go by, this one promises packed pits, sing-along moments, and guitar solos that hit hardest live. Expect a performance made for fans who want the real concert experience, not just a name on a poster.

The Mumbai show is part of Marty Friedman’s first-ever three-city India tour, making this a rare chance to watch a metal icon live on an Indian stage again.
