Metallica has announced new M72 tour dates for 2027.

The first of these shows — which will occur in stadium venues “in the round at the 50 yard line” — is set for May 8 in Vancouver, British Columbia, followed by concerts across the United States. This leg will conclude on June 19 in Salt Lake City. Avatar and Limp Bizkit will be the opening acts.

“Since we began in April of 2023, we’ve performed 99 M72 shows in 26 countries,” a statement on the band’s website reads. “This time, 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.”

Ticket presales start on Sept. 21, followed by a general sale on Sept. 25. As with previous tours, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will benefit local charities through Metallica’s foundation, All Within My Hands. A complete list of show dates can be found below.

Metallica’s Upcoming Las Vegas Residency

Before the tour begins, Metallica will perform a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas — titled Life Burns Faster — starting Oct. 1 and running until March 13, 2027. All 24 shows have sold out.

“It’s going to be challenging,” Lars Ulrich mentioned earlier this year. “And obviously, like everyone else I’ve talked to about it, it’s overwhelming and f—ing intimidating. But … that’s a place maybe we don’t end up in often enough because we tend to put ourselves in environments that we completely control and know. So I think it’s really good to be able to throw yourself for a loop like that.”
