“Metallica: M72 World Tour Live From Arlington, TX – A Two Night Event” will see the band playing two nights with two completely different setlists, with songs from across the group’s 40-plus-year career, ranging from 1983’s debut “Kill ‘Em All” to 2023’s new release “72 Seasons”. You won’t see the same song twice for a total of over 30 songs across both nights.
The “M72” tour features a bold new in-the-round stage design that relocates the famed METALLICA Snake Pit to center stage so that fans will have a complete 360 view of the show. With a state-of-the-art multi-camera set up, you will feel like you’re right in the middle of the action, no matter where you are in the world.
This is a two-night event. Get your tickets for both nights to enjoy the full experience.
Hailed as “some of the deepest, hardest-hitting music of their career” (Rolling Stone),METALLICA‘s “72 Seasons” was released April 14 via the band’s own Blackened Recordings. Produced by Greg Fidelman with frontman James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and clocking in at over 77 minutes, the 12-track “72 Seasons” is METALLICA‘s first full length collection of new material since 2016’s “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct”.
Formed in 1981 by Hetfield and Ulrich, METALLICA has become one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history, selling nearly 120 million albums worldwide and generating more than 15 billion streams while playing to millions of fans on all seven continents.
