Metallica has announced dates and cities for its M72 World Tour with 21 North American shows next year, including two shows in Toronto — the only Canadian stop.
Toronto will see Metallica perform on April 24 and April 26, 2025 at the Rogers Centre.
Tickets go on sale Sept. 27 at 10 a.m., with pre-sales happening a few days earlier on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24, according to Ticketmaster.
Several other shows will take place across the U.S. from April, May and June. The full list is below.
Metallica’s record-breaking M72 World Tour is being extended into its third year. The tour opened in April 2023 in Amsterdam.
“The M72 World Tour’s 2025 itinerary will continue the hallowed No Repeat Weekend tradition, with each night of the two-show stands featuring entirely different setlists and support lineups,” said Live Nation Canada in a press release on Thursday.
Live Nation said support on M72’s 2025 North American run will come from Pantera, Limp Bizkit, Suicidal Tendencies and Ice Nine Kills. Toronto’s shows will see all performers over the two days. Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies are scheduled for the April 24 show and Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills are scheduled for the second show on April 26, 2025.
The M72 2025 tour will see the popular American rock band return to Australia and New Zealand as well.
