The band took to Instagram to share the news with fans. Frontman Dave Mustaine mentioned that he and Friedman have remained friends for years despite not being seen together on stage.
"For the first time in more than 23 years, Megadeth alumni @MartyFriedman will join Megadeth on stage as the special guest for our one-off global livestream from the legendary Budokan Arena in Tokyo, Japan on February 27! Marty and I have remained friends over 23 years, since we last played together. However, I hear his music every night, and he still is among the top guitar players I’ve ever heard. This is an amazing treat for the fans, as well as myself. To be honest, I may drift off while listening to Kiko and Marty play together!"
Interested individuals will be able to purchase tickets to view the livestream for only $15. Ticket prices will rise to $17 on the day of the show. The exclusive event will be available to stream for up to two days after the show via On Demand.
