Get ready to headbang as Metallica embarks on a North American tour in 2025. The band, formed in the ’80s, will perform multiple nights with special guests like Limp Bizkit, Pantera, Ice Nine Kills, and Suicidal Tendencies on select dates. They will continue their ‘No Repeat Weekend’ tradition, where, according to their website, “each of the two shows offers a completely unique experience: two totally different setlists with two different bands opening each night.” Their M72 World Tour is named after their latest album, 72 Seasons, released in 2023, which features tracks like “72 Seasons,” “Lux Æterna,” “If Darkness Had a Son,” and more.

“#M72 EXTENDS INTO 2025. 14 North American Cities. 18 Shows In The Round. 2 Festival Stops. 1 Unforgettable Tour,” the band shared on their Instagram post. As one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time, fans are eagerly anticipating the tour.
