Metallica has confirmed that its record-breaking M72 World Tour will be extended into its fourth year with the announcement of 16 shows in Europe and the UK spanning May, June and July 2026.<\/p>\n

Since opening April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has seen Metallica play to some four million fans. Variously hailed as \u201can altogether life-affirming experience\u201d (Billboard), \u201cundeniably epic\u201d (Metal Hammer), \u201ca stone-cold stunner of a show\u201d (Detroit News), \u201ctriumphant\u201d (Kerrang!) and \u201cas tight and furious as Metallica has sounded in ages\u201d (Los Angeles Times), M72 continues to amaze fans and critics alike.<\/p>\n

The M72 World Tour\u2019s 2026 itinerary will continue the hallowed No Repeat Weekend tradition, with each night of the two-show stands featuring entirely different setlists and support lineups. These will include the band\u2019s first shows within Frankfurt, Germany and Dublin, Ireland since 2009\u2019s World Magnetic Tour at Deutsche Bank Park May 22 and 24 and Aviva Stadium June 19 and 21 (respectively), and Metallica\u2019s much anticipated return to Budapest, Hungary, June 11 and 13 at Puskas Arena and London, England, July 3 and 5 at London\u00a0Stadium.<\/p>\n

M72 2026 will also feature several single shows bringing the tour\u2019s full production, with its massive in-the-round stage, to cities including Athens (May 9), Bucharest (May 13), Chorz\u00f3w (May 19), Zurich (May 27), Berlin (May 30), Bologna (June 3), Glasgow (June 25) and Cardiff (June 28).<\/p>\n

As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band\u2019s All Within My Hands<\/strong> foundation. Established in 2017 as a way to give back to communities that have supported Metallica over the years, All Within My Hands has raised over $20 million since inception \u2013 providing $11.4 million in grants to career and technical education programs including the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its seventh year, over $7.4 million to combat food insecurity, more than $4.7 million to disaster relief efforts.<\/p>\n
