The legends are back on the road, and their tour isn’t just a concert – it’s an event. Metallica, the pillars of heavy metal, have unveiled the complete lineup of their M72 World Tour for 2023-2024, and here’s everything you need to know.
What Makes M72 Stand Out?
The tour, sponsored globally by Liquid Death and North America’s Blackened American Whiskey, is a collaboration with Live Nation. Metallica promises each city two nights of raw energy, with No Repeat Weekends. This means two unique setlists for two consecutive nights, ensuring fans get an expansive experience of their musical prowess.
But there’s more to the design. The iconic Metallica Snake Pit will now reside at the center stage, embracing a daring in-the-round design. Young fans under 16 can grab tickets at a discount, while the die-hard enthusiasts can avail of the ‘I Disappear’ full-tour pass. And in a nod to their roots and dedicated fanbase, they’re introducing the 72 Seasons vinyl and CD for pre-ordering.
Tickets? Mark December 2nd for two-day tickets. Single-day tickets will be rolled out on January 20th.
Tour with a Purpose
Metallica isn’t just about music. A slice of the proceeds from ticket sales supports the band’s foundation, All Within My Hands (AWMH). Established in 2017, AWMH has poured nearly $13 million into community upliftment, from education grants to food security measures and global disaster relief efforts.
