Metallica Extend M72 World Tour With 2027 Stadium Dates
Metallica have added 12 North American stadium shows to their M72 World Tour for 2027, starting May 8th in Vancouver. Limp Bizkit and Avatar will provide support on the run. The dates follow Metallica's Las Vegas Sphere residency and feature single shows in each city rather than two-night stands.
Metallica's newly revealed 2027 leg adds 12 stadium concerts across North America, beginning May 8 at BC Place in Vancouver. The itinerary then visits San Diego, El Paso, San Antonio, Fayetteville, Kansas City, Raleigh, Indianapolis, Buffalo, Madison, Cleveland, and Salt Lake City. Limp Bizkit and Avatar are set to open.
This extension arrives after Metallica's "Life Burns Faster" Las Vegas Sphere residency, scheduled from October 2026 through March 2027. Unlike earlier M72 stops that sometimes paired two nights in one city without repeating songs, each 2027 city will host one concert. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, with resale options also noted.
The 2027 stadium run may give rock fans in mid-sized and major North American cities a rare large-scale live music event, potentially boosting local hospitality, transit, and merchandise spending. It could also intensify demand and ticket-price pressure, affecting casual listeners and longtime fans differently. Because each city gets one show, travel and lodging decisions may spread across regions, while the Sphere residency may draw entertainment tourism to Las Vegas.
