About this show

Metallica brings the M72 World Tour routing to Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH on Monday, June 15, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a multi-purpose indoor arena (18,500-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 Schottenstein Center.

Accessible viewing platforms at this venue are first-come within their respective sections; arriving with doors usually secures a sightline.

Cashless payment is the default at the venue's merch stands; cards and contactless mobile wallets are both accepted.

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