Metallica have announced a leg of 2026 UK/European concert dates, expanding their ongoing “M72 Tour.”
The outing is set for May and June 2026 and sees Metallica joined by the support pairing of Gojira and Knocked Loose for 10 shows, with Pantera and Avatar supporting the remaining four dates on the European trek. General ticket sales begin Friday (May 30th) at 10 a.m. local time.
The European dates will feature the same production as previous “M72” shows, including the in-the-round midfield stage with the central “Snake Pit” providing a complete 360-degree view of the show. Additionally, Metallica will be bringing their “No Repeat Weekend” format — in which the band plays unique setlists across two nights — to four cities (Frankfurt, Budapest, Dublin, and London). The itinerary also features some long-overdue European stops in Athens (for the first time since 2010), Chorzów (for the first time since 2008), and Cardiff (for the first time since 1996).

“We’re excited to continue the now-tradition of No Repeat Weekends and will also have a mix of some One Night Only shows,” shared Metallica in a statement. “Pantera is returning for another ‘M72’ run with us, and we’re reuniting with our ‘World Magnetic’ touring partner/’WorldWired’ guest Gojira. And we’re excited to welcome Knocked Loose and Avatar to the tour.”
Meanwhile, Metallica still have plenty of shows left on their current US tour. Next up is a “No Repeat Weekend” two-nighter set for May 23rd and 25th in Philadelphia. Get tickets here.
