Metallica M72 World tour – 2025 Australia and NZ dates announced

Metallica have just announced that Australia will be part of their M72 World Tour in November 2025. Metallica will perform in stadiums in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney and Auckland. These shows will include the famous Snake Pit extending from the front of the stage, meaning that the band will perform at each end of the stadium.

Special supports are Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies, both incredibly popular acts in their own right.

There are a range of Enhanced Experiences available, from access to a meet and greet, production and stage tours, food and beverage package in the “Black Box” lounge, early entry into the venue, as well as the aforementioned Snake Pit. The very popular “I Disappear Ticket” will also be available, which enables fans to attend to all six shows in Australia and New Zealand, and travel packages including tickets and hotel will be available in four of the six cities.

Tickets go on sale to the general public from Monday 4th Nov, with several pre-sales options available.

Fan club pre-sales begin Tuesday, October 29th. For further information, pre-sale times, enhanced experiences, I Disappear Tickets, travel packages and more, go to http://metallica.lnk.to/M72-AU-NZ-2025.
