About this show

Metallica brings the M72 World Tour routing to Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, TX on Wednesday, May 20, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a multi-purpose indoor arena (14,000-seat), which sits at the arena-scale end of the room sizes on this tour. Heavy music touring in 2026 continues to draw across generations, with package tours pairing legacy headliners and contemporary openers.

The M72 World Tour routing builds on Metallica's catalog (the act traces its origin to Los Angeles, CA) and draws on the act's most recent body of work. 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 mid-set acoustic break has been a fixture of this routing and is widely covered in fan setlist databases.

Will-call windows are usually open from doors through the start of the headlining set.

Drivers should plan for surge pricing immediately after the encore; a fifteen-minute wait at a nearby coffee shop is usually cheaper than leaving with the crowd.

Buyer's tip: avoid third-party screenshots and only trust transfer through the official venue or ticketing app for Dickies Arena.

ADA seating is available throughout the venue; advance request via the box office is recommended at least a week before the show.

Tour-exclusive merchandise has typically sold out by the start of the encore; pre-show is the safer window if a specific design matters.

Tickets, official venue policies, and any updated start times should be confirmed via Dickies Arena's box office on the day of the show. Special guest support to be announced.
