Huge news this morning as Metallica confirmed their EU/UK leg of their M72 WORLD TOUR, with 16 dates in 2026!
Now entering its fourth year, the record breaking tour has seen Metallica play to over four million fans, and next year it will bring along some very special guests, as Gojira, Knocked Loose, Pantera and Avatar will support in selected dates. As with previous years, the tour will follow the “No Repeat Weekend” tradition, with each night of the two-show stands featuring entirely different setlists and support lineups.
The tour will mark the return of Gojira to stadium stages after the iconic performance at the Paris Olympics in 2024 and already having sold out their headline set at Bloodstock Open Air this year.
Tickets go on sale on May 30th at 10am local time and a Metallica fan club pre-sale starts May 27 at 11am local time. You can find further information on their official website.
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.
