Metallica has announced the extension of their ongoing “M72 Tour” into 2025, adding more shows across the U.S. and Canada. Originally launched in support of their latest album 72 Seasons, the tour will now feature additional performances with a unique format. The band plans to offer six “no repeat weekends” where different setlists are performed on Thursday/Saturday or Friday/Sunday, along with six “one night only” concerts. Opening acts for these shows include Limp Bizkit, Pantera, Suicidal Tendencies, and Ice Nine Kills.
The band will perform at notable venues such as Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Nissan Stadium in Nashville, and Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. For fans eager to attend, tickets for the 2025 dates went on sale on September 27, 2024. As part of their concerts, Metallica will continue using their in-the-round stage setup, promising fans the full “M72” tour experience. The band’s ongoing popularity is evident, with fans excited about both their new material and classics like “Enter Sandman,” ensuring the tour remains a must-see for metalheads.
Many fans have praised the tour’s format, with reviews from previous shows mentioning how the band played their biggest hits alongside new songs, without repeating tracks across different nights. The upcoming tour will feature a similar structure, giving concertgoers a chance to experience Metallica’s diverse catalog live.
With these additional dates, Metallica’s influence on the rock and metal scenes continues to grow, and their ability to attract massive crowds, even after decades in the industry, showcases the band’s enduring legacy. Fans can look forward to a memorable concert experience, especially with the added bonus of seeing major supporting acts like Limp Bizkit and Pantera.
