About this show

Metallica brings the M72 World Tour routing to Toyota Center in Houston, TX on Saturday, October 10, 2026. The booking pairs the act with a multi-purpose indoor arena (19,000-seat), which sits at the arena-scale end of the room sizes on this tour. 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 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. Heavy music touring in 2026 continues to draw across generations, with package tours pairing legacy headliners and contemporary openers.

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 Toyota Center.

Companion seating is offered alongside accessible positions at no extra charge; verify by calling the venue ahead of arrival.

Merch lines at the front-of-house stand can run twenty to forty minutes during set breaks; the side-stand near the lobby is usually faster.

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