The road goes on forever for Metallica. The veteran rockers announced on Thursday morning (Sept. 19) that their M72 world tour will stretch into a third year when they play 21 North American dates from April-June.

The shows will kick off on April 12 in Las Vegas with a festival gig at the NV Sick New World @ Las Vegas Festival Grounds before a run up north for a two-night stand in Toronto, then back down for a double-down stand at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, a pair of appearances at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, OH, followed by stadium shows in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa (their first visit to the city in 15 years) and Houston before winding down with gigs on June 27 and 29 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. The run will also include a pair of Bay Area hometown shows on June 20 and 22 that will be their debut gigs at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Openers on the run will include Pantera, bass player Robert Trujillo’s former band, Suicidal Tendencies, as well as Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills. Two-night tickets for the new No Repeat Weekends and tickets for single-night gigs will go on sale on Sept. 27 at 10 a.m. local time, with a fan presale kicking off on Sept. 23 at 10 a.m. local time; click here for ticketing information.

The M72 tour kicked off in Amsterdam in 2023 and has played to more than three million fans to date, highlighted by their No Repeat Weekend tradition, in which each night of their two-night stands feature totally different setlists and support acts.
