Gojira, Pantera, Knocked Loose and Avatar to support
Metallica has confirmed that its record-breaking M72 World Tour will be extended into its fourth year with the announcement of 16 shows in Europe and the UK spanning May, June and July 2026.
Two-night tickets for the newly announced No Repeat Weekends and tickets for the single-night engagements will be on sale May 30th at 10 am local time follow presales on May 27th.
Since opening April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has seen Metallica play to some four million fans.
The M72 World Tour’s 2026 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 shows within Frankfurt, Germany and Dublin, Ireland since 2009’s World Magnetic Tour at Deutsche Bank Park May 22nd and 24th and Aviva Stadium June 19th and 21st, respectively, and Metallica’s much anticipated return to Budapest, Hungary, June 11th and 13th at Puskas Arena and London, England, July 3rd and 5th at London Stadium.
M72 2026 will also feature several single shows bringing the tour’s full production, with its massive in-the-round stage, to cities including Athens, Bucharest, Chorzów, Zurich, Berlin, Bologna, Glasgow, and Cardiff.
Support on M72’s 2026 European and UK run will come from Gojira, Pantera, Knocked Loose and Avatar on select dates.
M72’s 2026 European/UK leg is produced by Live Nation.
As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation. Established in 2017 as a way to give back to communities that have supported Metallica over the years, All Within My Hands has raised over $20 million since inception – providing $11.4 million in grants to career and technical education programs including the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its seventh year, over $7.4 million to combat food insecurity, more than $4.7 million to disaster relief efforts.
