Metallica 2025 Tour Announcement – M72 Tour Schedule

Metallica is back and louder than ever with the 2025 leg of their M72 World Tour! And if you thought the past two years were massive, just wait until you see what they have planned. Joined by Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills, the world-famous metal band will next play on May 7th in Blacksburg, VA, stopping in Philadelphia, PA, Atlanta, GA, Tampa, FL, and more before concluding on June 29th in Denver, CO.

This record-breaking Metallica tour ($179 million in 2024 alone!) is now in its third year, with the group bringing their signature “No Repeat Weekend” format to stadiums across North America. Hosting two nights in each city with entirely different setlists and opening acts, ensuring no two shows are the same, this is a Metallica concert that will ring in your ears and heart long after Lars Ulrich puts away his drumsticks.

Metallica has been a force in the world of heavy metal (if not the blueprint for all of today’s groups) for over four decades, and you can bet you’ll hear all the classics on this trek. From “Enter Sandman” and “Master of Puppets” to “For Whom the Bell Tolls” and “Nothing Else Matters,” plus tracks from 2023’s 72 Seasons, the setlist will be highly diverse. The best part? This Metallica tour features a massive in-the-round stage setup for a 360-degree experience, bringing fans closer to the action.

That’s right. James Hetfield’s signature vocals, Kirk Hammett’s thrash-worthy guitar skills, Ulrich’s aforementioned drum solos…all of it will be center stage on one of 2025’s biggest stadium tours. Why has this Metallica tour extended two years and hundreds of shows longer than we expected? Because it’s just that epic! Metallica is an artist who’s has sold more than 125 million records, won 9 Grammy awards, and become the first-ever band to play all seven continents, among other things. 

That being said, it’s their sound and stage presence that sets them apart…and you’ll see both in full effect on the M72 tour. Get your Metallica tickets now!
