Metallica announce 2025 North American tour dates

Metallica has confirmed that its record-breaking M72 World Tour will be extended into a third year, with the announcement of 21 North American shows spanning April, May and June 2025.

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.

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 19, and Metallica's first ever visit to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. The May 7 show at Lane Stadium will mark the culmination of 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 April 12 at Sick New World at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. May 9 and 11 will then 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. See below for specifics.

Two-night tickets for the newly announced No Repeat Weekends and tickets for the single-night engagements will be on sale September 27 at 10am local time. Fan club pre-sales begin September 23 at 10am local time.

Additionally, M72 2025 will see Metallica's long-awaited return to Australia and New Zealand.

Since opening April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has seen Metallica play to some 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 over the course of two No Repeat Weekends.
