METALLICA has confirmed that its record-breaking “M72” world tour will extend into a third year, with 21 new North American dates set for April, May, and June 2025.
Tickets for the newly announced No Repeat Weekends and single-night shows go on sale September 27 at 10 a.m. local time, with fan club pre-sales starting September 23 at 10 a.m. local time.
The 2025 leg of the “M72″ world tour will uphold the cherished No Repeat Weekend tradition, with each night of the two-show stops offering completely different setlists and support acts. Highlights include METALLICA‘s first shows in Nashville in five years, set for May 1 and 3 at Nissan Stadium, and their long-awaited return to Tampa after 15 years, with performances on June 6 and 8 at Raymond James Stadium. The tour will also feature the much-anticipated Bay Area hometown shows on June 20 and 22, marking the band’s debut at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
In a new development, the “M72” 2025 tour will include several single-show stops, showcasing the tour’s full-scale production with its massive in-the-round stage. These performances will take place at select venues, including two college football stadiums: the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York on April 19, and METALLICA‘s first-ever visit to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. The May 7 show at Lane Stadium will be a special moment, celebrating over 20 years of “Enter Sandman” being played as the Hokies take the field.
Alongside performing at football stadiums nationwide, the 2025 “M72” world tour will also feature two major festival headlining slots. The tour will kick off on April 12 at Sick New World, held at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. On May 9 and 11, METALLICA will headline Sonic Temple at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, combining the festival with a No Repeat Weekend, delivering two unique headline performances.
The “M72” 2025 North American tour will feature support from PANTERA, LIMP BIZKIT, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, and ICE NINE KILLS. Details are listed below.
In addition, the 2025 tour will mark METALLICA‘s highly anticipated return to Australia and New Zealand. Keep an eye on Metallica.com for more updates.
