Metallica added a 12-city North American stadium leg to its long-running M72 tour, with Limp Bizkit and Avatar as support. The stretch runs May 8–June 19, 2027, and includes pre-sales, charity proceeds, and ties into the band’s Sphere residency schedule.
Metallica announced 12 additional North American stadium shows for the M72 World Tour, running May 8–June 19, 2027, beginning in Vancouver and ending in Salt Lake City.
The added run follows the band’s Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, which runs Oct 1, 2026–Mar 13, 2027.
Metallica extended the M72 World Tour into spring 2027 with a 12-date North American stadium leg. The new run opens May 8, 2027 at BC Place in Vancouver and concludes June 19, 2027 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. Limp Bizkit and Avatar will open every show on the stretch.
This announcement adds another sizable North American stadium run to a tour that began in April 2023. By the time the Vancouver date arrives, M72 will have been active for four years. The tour has already covered 99 shows in 26 countries, and nearly five million people had attended through the band's recent two-night engagement at London Stadium on July 3 and 5, 2025.
The 2027 stadium leg comes after Metallica completes a months-long Sphere residency in Las Vegas called Life Burns Faster (Oct 1, 2026–Mar 13, 2027), so the band's live schedule remains unusually ambitious.
Fan-club and partner presales in late September determine initial ticket access. The tour's schedule positions this stadium leg immediately after the band's Sphere residency ends in mid-March 2027, leaving a multi-week gap before the May start. The announced dates bring Metallica to a dozen cities not previously visited during the current M72 run.
