About the M72 World Tour run

Metallica is currently on the road behind the M72 World Tour run, with 12 confirmed dates on the United States itinerary listed below. The act traces its origin to Los Angeles, CA and works primarily within Metal & Hard Rock.

Pit etiquette varies by venue and act; floor sections tend to be physical, while seated areas remain accessible to listeners who prefer distance from the front.

The current routing visits markets including Fort Worth, TX, Detroit, MI, Columbus, OH, Birmingham, AL, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, Phoenix, AZ, St. Louis, MO, with a mix of arena-scale headlining stops and mid-size theater bookings depending on the regional demand profile.

Heavy music touring in 2026 continues to draw across generations, with package tours pairing legacy headliners and contemporary openers.

Primary on-sales for the M72 World Tour dates have generally cleared in the first ticketing wave; verified resale remains the most reliable path for sold-out markets.

Recent setlists have landed in a roughly stable arc, with two or three rotating songs in the middle of the show.

Late arrival is workable at most stops on this routing — the front-of-house mix is consistent enough that accurate audio is available throughout the room.

Pyro and stage rigging are standard at arena-level metal tours; sound checks typically push the show start later than the printed door time.

The full schedule below is updated as new dates are announced or cancellations are confirmed. Each city listing links to the venue's primary ticketing page where pricing, accessibility, and box office hours are listed.
