As we head down to Mexico City for the final four shows of the summer, we are psyched to share with you our plans for next year. It has been an incredible two years since we first launched our M72 No Repeat Weekend tour, and what a wild ride it’s been… We certainly can’t stop now!

When the concept of the No Repeat Weekend was born a few years ago, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. Now – several years later – following the 40th Anniversary shows in San Francisco, an initial run of two show stands in ’21 at a few festivals, and M72 weekend celebrations in 22 different cities around the world in ’23 and ’24, we think it’s a keeper. Seeing fans from far corners of the planet connecting with other ’Tallica family members and creating a full weekend experience together has been more than we ever dreamed it would be. There’s no doubt that we need to extend this party into 2025!

Year three will kick off with 21 North American shows across April, May, and June of next year with the same unique stadium production three million of you saw over the last couple of years…or may have seen in photos or videos. Yes, we’ll be back mid-field in-the-round with the Snake Pit in the center of the stage so that you guys will have a complete 360° view of the show. The No Repeat Weekend tradition continues with each of the two shows offering a completely unique experience: two totally different set lists with two different bands opening each night! Purchase a 2-Day Ticket, and you won’t see the same song twice across both setlists spanning our 40+ years of being lucky enough to make music. We’ll be sure to have lots of extracurricular events planned for you to hang with fellow Metallica fans on the night between shows.

We’ve added some cities to the weekend adventures that we haven’t visited in quite some time, including Tampa (over 15 years!), Denver, Nashville, and a location that’s been on our wish list for far too long, as we’ll finally be hitting our Bay Area home field of Levi’s Stadium for the first time.

In a new twist, M72 2025 will also include several single shows with the full production, including the in-the-round stage and Snake Pit. Among them are two college football stadiums: JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York, and our first-ever visit to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. The show at Lane Stadium will mark the culmination of 20+ years of “Enter Sandman” playing as the Hokies take the field.

The schedule also includes two festival headline dates—the first being the opening night of the tour on April 12 at Sick New World at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. May 9 and 11 will bring a festival/No Repeat Weekend combo as we play two nights at Sonic Temple at Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, Ohio.

Each stadium show offers a variety of Enhanced Experiences, ranging from access to a meet and greet, production and stage tour, food and beverage in the “Black Box” lounge to early entry into the venue and the aforementioned Snake Pit. The very popular “I Disappear Ticket” is back and is the ultimate pass for the fan who wants to run away with us for all the shows. Grab one of these and attend every M72 show in North America! For more information about Enhanced Experiences and I Disappear Tickets, visit wearesuper.co/metallica. There is one more 2025 addition to the M72 experience; travel packages to most locations are also offered, including hotel, ticket, and shuttle options. Visit metallicatravel.com for all the info.

In keeping with what is now tradition, we’re excited to share the stage with different bands on each night of the No Repeat Weekends. Two M72 veterans are returning as Pantera and Ice Nine Kills have signed up for another year with us, and we’re really psyched to welcome two former tour mates and good friends, Limp Bizkit and Suicidal Tendencies.

No Repeat Weekend two-day discounted tickets and cities with single shows only will be on sale on Friday, September 27. Fan Club presales, including one for 2-Day Sonic Temple passes, start early on Monday, September 23. There will also be various other presales beginning later that day and throughout the week (check out the complete list for details). To request your Fan Club presale code, visit metallica.com/presale-codes. If you cannot join us for a full No Repeat Weekend, Single-Day Tickets to those shows will be available starting January 17, 2025.

Since opening April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has seen Metallica play to some three million fans. Variously hailed as “an altogether life-affirming experience” (Billboard), “impossible to leave unsatisfied” (Austin Chronicle), “a stone-cold stunner of a show” (Detroit News), “the mother of all summer concerts” (Worcester Telegram Gazette) and “as tight and furious as Metallica has sounded in ages” (Los Angeles Times), M72 continues to amaze fans and critics alike. The tour will conclude its triumphant 2024 run with four nights at Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros, where Metallica will play to more than 250,000 fans over the course of two No Repeat Weekends.

The M72 World Tour’s 2025 itinerary will continue the hallowed No Repeat Weekend tradition, with each night of the two-show stands featuring entirely different setlists and support lineups. These will include the band’s first Nashville shows in five years on May 1 and 3 at Nissan Stadium, as well as Metallica’s return to Tampa after 15 years on June 6 and 8 at Raymond James Stadium. M72 has also confirmed its much anticipated Bay Area hometown play, to take place June 20 and 22 with the band’s debut performances at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

In a new twist, M72 2025 will feature several single shows bringing the tour’s full production, with its massive in-the-round stage, to venues including two college football stadiums: JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, New York on April 19, and Metallica’s first ever visit to Blacksburg, Virginia, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies.  The May 7 show at Lane Stadium will mark the culmination of 20+ years of “Enter Sandman” playing as the Hokies take the field.

In addition to playing football stadiums across the nation, the M72 World Tour’s 2025 itinerary will also include two festival headlines—the first being the opening night of the run April 12 at Sick New World at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
