Ex-MEGADETH Guitarist KIKO LOUREIRO Starts Off Tour With Performance Of “Tornado Of Souls” With MARTY FRIEDMAN

When Kiko Loureiro first announced his departure from Megadeth back in 2023, he told Guitar World that, he had “mentioned to management and Dave [Mustaine] that [he] thought bringing back Marty Friedman back would be amazing.”

So, when Megadeth decided to go with Teemu Mäntysaari as their guitarist, it should come as no surprise that Kiko Loureiro invited Marty Friedman to be a part of his upcoming Latin American tour.

Last night (Friday, 30th May) at Santo Rock Bar in Santo André, Loureiro kicked off his Theory of Mind tour which proudly features Marty Friedman.

The tour spans nine dates, Loureiro is running a 21-song setlist that features Friedman in the last five songs – you can check out the full setlist below.
