Metallica announces 2025 ‘M72 Tour’ with Limp Bizkit. Get tickets now

Metallica is leaving no stone unturned on their ‘M72 Tour.’

Originally announced in November 2022 (!), the Rock Hall of Famers just added a third years’ worth of shows to their ongoing trek in support of their latest record, “72 Seasons.”

This time around, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and co. are putting on six “no repeat weekends” — either Thursday and Saturday or Friday and Sunday shows with different set lists and opening acts — and six “one night only” concerts.

The closest “no repeat weekend” to New York will take place at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on Friday, May 23 with Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills. On Sunday, May 25, the show will feature Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies.

A month before that, the “Enter Sandman ” rockers have a “one night only” gig lined up at Syracuse’s JMA Wireless Dome on Saturday, April 19. Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies will serve as the special guest that evening.

According to Consequence, “these one-off concerts promise the tour’s full production and massive in-the-round stage setup.”

In August 2023, the New York Post’s resident metalhead Ryan Murphy attended a pair of ‘M72’ concerts at MetLife Stadium and said “Metallica played everything you’d want to hear with no repeats over the two nights.”

“Even though they’re promoting their new record,” he continued, “they played all the fan favorites.”

Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming ‘M72’ shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 2025 concerts is Friday, Sept. 27.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
