Metallica’s M72 rolls on into 2027 – new shows announced

Author Benedetta Baldin - 16.9.2026

Metallica‘s M72 tour has not stopped. You can read the band’s statement, with the announcement of new shows in 2027.

We have been having so much fun on the road that we’re going to keep M72 rolling! We’ve added 12 additional North American shows in 2027, and we’ll be joined by tour buddies Limp Bizkit and Avatar, who are returning to our M72 party. Of course, we’ll have the same unique stadium production in the round at the 50-yard line, with the Snake Pit in the center of the stage providing a complete 360° view of the show. The festivities kick off on May 8, 2027, in Vancouver, Canada. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 25, at 10 AM Local Time, with presales beginning Monday, September 21.

Since we got started in April of 2023, we’ve played 99 M72 shows in 26 countries. This time around, we’ll be playing single shows, visiting a mix of NFL/CFL stadiums, colleges, and the homes of both men’s and women’s soccer teams. We’re covering a lot of ground from Buffalo all the way across the country to San Diego and many points in between, wrapping up in Salt Lake City on June 19.

Each stadium show offers a variety of Enhanced Experiences, ranging from access to a meet and greet, production and stage tour, and food and beverage in the Black Box Lounge to early entry into the venue and the aforementioned Snake Pit. The very popular “I Disappear Ticket” is back and is the ultimate pass for the fan who wants to run away with us for all the shows. Grab an I Disappear Ticket and attend every M72 2027 show in North America! For more information about Enhanced Experiences and I Disappear Tickets, visit superfan.live/metallica. Travel packages will also be available for all locations, including hotel, ticket, and local transportation passes. Visit metallicatravel.com for all the info.

Enhanced Experiences, Snake Pit tickets, and travel packages will all be available starting with the Fan Club presales beginning on Monday, September 21, at 10 AM Local Time. *Citi card members and **Verizon customers will have access to pre-sale tickets on Tuesday, September 22, at 10 AM Local Time.

As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s foundation, All Within My Hands. 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, providing $19 million in grants to career and technical education programs, including the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its eighth year, over $8.8 million to combat food insecurity, and more than $6.2 million to disaster relief efforts and other critical local services worldwide.

*Citi is the official card of the M72 World Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets through the Citi Entertainment program from September 22 at 10 AM Local Time until September 24 at 10 PM Local Time. For complete presale details, visit citientertainment.com.
