Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Suicidal Tendencies & Ice Nine Kills to support
Metallica has confirmed that its record-breaking M72 World Tour will be extended into a third year, announcing 21 North American shows spanning April, May, and June 2025.
Two-night tickets for the newly announced No Repeat Weekends and tickets for the single-night engagements will be on sale September 27th at 10 am local time. Fan club pre-sales begin September 23rd at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster. Presales start on Tuesday, September 24th.
Since opening in April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has seen Metallica play to three million fans. The tour will conclude its triumphant 2024 run with four nights at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, where Metallica will play to more than 250,000 fans throughout two No Repeat Weekends.
The M72 World Tour’s 2025 itinerary will continue the hallowed No Repeat Weekend tradition, with each night of the two-show stands featuring entirely different setlists and support lineups. These will include the band’s first Nashville shows in five years on May 1st and 3rd at Nissan Stadium, as well as Metallica’s return to Tampa after 15 years on June 6th and 8th at Raymond James Stadium. M72 has also confirmed its much anticipated Bay Area hometown play, to take place June 20th and 22nd with the band’s debut performances at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
In a new twist, M72 2025 will feature several single shows bringing the tour’s full production, with its massive in-the-round stage, to venues including two college football stadiums: JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York on April 19th, and Metallica’s first-ever visit to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. The May 7th show at Lane Stadium will culminate 20+ years of “Enter Sandman” playing as the Hokies take the field.
In addition to playing football stadiums across the nation, the M72 World Tour’s 2025 itinerary will also include two festival headlines—the first being the opening night of the run on April 12th at Sick New World at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. May 9th and 11th will mark a festival/No Repeat Weekend combo as Metallica plays two headline sets at Sonic Temple at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.
Support on M72’s 2025 North American run will come from Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Suicidal Tendencies, and Ice Nine Kills.
Additionally, M72 2025 will see Metallica’s long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand. Stay tuned to for further announcements.

As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands Foundation.
