Wir waren in Hamburg. 2 Konzerte, super Sitzplätze für 209 Euro. iIch kann nur sagen, das Geld würde ich IMMER WIEDER ausgeben! Es war ein Erlebnis: metallica nach wie vor einfach bombastisch!!! Stimmung im volksparkstadion unbeschreiblich: gänsehaut pur! Immer wieder!!!!!! Und pro Konzert 104.50 Euro sind für die mittlere Preiskategorie echt angemessen! völlig ok mit dem Preis. es war eine mega-show!

Die Tickets sind wirklich schon sehr teuer. Was mich aber noch mehr stört ist die Art und Weise des Vorverkaufs: Zuerst nur 2-Tages-Tickets. Und erst später Tagestickets. Da sind aber die guten Karten alle schon weg, und die verbliebenen noch teurer als in der 1. Runde. Wer also gute Karten (z.B. Innenraum) möchte der MUSS für beide Konzerte Karten kaufen, plus 2-3 Übernachtungen und An-/Abreise. Also Minimum 400-500 € aufwärts, eher noch einiges mehr (bei mir sind es über 800,-) Jeder der sich das nicht leisten kann oder will wird kurzerhand von den Konzerten ausgeschlossen (zumindest auf den guten Plätzen) Und das finde ich echt #$§*#… Damit erreiche ich zwar dass bei den wenigen Konzerten nur echte Hardcore Fans da sind – aber nicht alle die gerne würden wird die Möglichkeit gegeben auch tatsächlich zu kommen. Zudem hätte ich bei getrenntem Verkauf für die beiden Konzerte mehr verschiedenen Menschen die Chance gegeben Metallica noch einmal live sehen zu können.

Preise hin oder her. Dazu musst, du , wenn du von weiter weg kommst, auch noch 2-3 Hotelübernachtungen rechnen. Ich finde, dass erst im Januar Ein-Tages-Tickts angeboten werden viel schlimmer. Es ist sicherlich persönliches Pech, wenn man nicht das ganze Pfingstwochendende in HH verbringen kann. Zwei Shows zu sehen macht vielleicht Laune , aber dann auf zwei folgenden Tagen. Erst die teuren Karten verkaufen und dann den Rest verramschen.

Ja, der Day-Off dazwischen ist für die Band mittlerweile anscheinend nötig, aber für Fans von extern halt bitter. Zumal weder Hamburg noch München billige Städte sind, insbesondere zu dieser Zeit.

Also 2019 waren 100 Ocken für ein Ticket schon grenzwertig, aber was jetzt passiert ist totale Abzocke. Rolling Stones, Helene Fischer, Metallic, das Ticketgrauen nimmt sehr skurrile Formen an.

Ich weiss nicht wo Ihr geschaut habt. Ich habe im presale für das 2 Tagesticket 135€ bezahlt, das sind wenn ich mich nicht verrechne ziemlich genau 67,50€ pro Konzert. Finde ich jetzt nicht zu teuer und wenn ich sehe was z.B. eine Karte für die Rentnergang von Rolling Stones kostet, finde ich das ja fast geschenkt.

Also 135€ wage ich schwer zu bezweifeln, das hier oben sind die offiziellen Preise aus dem Vorverkauf. Und selbst die Kindertickets kosten schon 122€

Ich kann Dir gerne meine Rechnung zeigen. 135€ für das 2Tagesticket im presale. 4 durfte ich maximal kaufen.  Metallica – M72 World Tour | 2-Tages-Ticket (26. & 28. Mai 2023)

Volksparkstadion ÖPNV: Das MOBILE TICKET gilt als Fahrschein für den HVV Verkehrsbund.  Südtribüne Block 8C – Reihe: 4 Platz: 69 PK7 Sitzplatz – Endpreis 134,80€  Südtribüne Block 8C – Reihe: 4 Platz: 68 PK7 Sitzplatz – Endpreis 134,80€  Südtribüne Block 8C – Reihe: 4 Platz: 67 PK7 Sitzplatz – Endpreis 134,80€  Südtribüne Block 8C – Reihe: 4 Platz: 66 PK7 Sitzplatz – Endpreis 134,80€

Glaubst es jetzt?

Spannend, da sind in München selbst die vergleichbar gelegenen Tickets deutlich teurer (wir hatten die Preise für München gecheckt und angegeben). Ich denke, die ganze Diskussion hier drehte sich aber weniger um Sitzplätze in den obersten Rängen, sondern um den Innenraum/Stehplätze ;)

Ja, die Plätze sind schon relativ weit oben. Aber da ich immer jemanden dabei habe der körperliche Einschränkung hat, nehme ich immer die oberen „ruhigeren“ Ränge 😉

Ich habe für HH erst Ticket an Mittwoch von Konzert gekauft 2 Tage Tickets plus Versicherung 15€ 120€ bezahlt. Super Sitzplatz nah Bühne. Kumpels haben gleich wie die raus gekommen für über 200€ bezahlt und weit oben an die Tribune. Also es ist realistisch a u günstige Tickets zu kaufen.

PS: Wir haben den Newstext entsprechend ergänzt, um weitere Verwirrung zu vermeiden.

Gibt’s da dann hinterher auch Videos von empörten Fans wie nach dem Helene-Fischer-Auftritt?

Dann hätten sich die Preise schon gelohnt, haha. Aber das Schlimmste ist: Es ist nichtmal eine abwegige Frage …

lol. Bei Rammstein kann ich 120€ gerade noch so halbwegs nachvollziehen, immerhin bekommt man da neben Live-Musik auch noch ne sehr aufwändig produzierte Show geboten. Aber 120€ pro Abend, damit ich wie beim letzten Mal Lars Ulrich dabei zuhören kann, wie er bei schlechtem Live-Sound über seine Bassdrum stolpert? Nope.

2009 hab ich 80€ gezahlt. 2019 hab ich 100€ gezahlt. Aber irgendwann reichts auch mal.

Und wer 3200€ für so ein behämmertes Fan-Ticket kauft, hat ja wohl nicht mehr alle Tassen im Schrank.

Ich zahl gern für kleinere Bands die nach Corona gestiegenen Ticketpreise. Aber nicht für 4 Multimillionäre, die es absolut nicht nötig haben.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band from California, US. Formed in 1981, Metallica is considered to be one of the founding bands of thrash metal.

The band was formed after the various members answered a newspaper advertisement placed by drummer Lars Ulrich who was looking for people to jam with. Metallica quickly gained a following from its many gigs in the Los Angeles music scene as its new thrash metal sound picked up increasing numbers of followers.

Metallica’s first three studio albums, Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets, did increasingly well on the US album charts, and eventually, each of these albums would be certified platinum. The band toured frequently in the US and Europe, playing to tens of thousands of fans at a time. Its constant touring resulted in rising popularity throughout the late ’80s.

In 1986, tragedy struck when the band’s tour bus crashed in Sweden and bassist Cliff Burton was killed. After debating whether to continue making music, the band received the blessing of Burton’s family and went on to record its next album …And Justice For All. The release of this album in 1988 saw the band attain its biggest success yet as the album charted at number six in the US and number four in the UK; Metallica also received its first Grammy Award nomination.

The commercial success of the album turned Metallica members into living legends. Each of its subsequent five albums hit the number one spot in the US and has been certified platinum. Tracks such as “Enter Sandman” and “Turn the Page” have become legendary in their own right and have inspired legions of artists.

In 1991, Metallica released its fifth album, self-titled Metallica. Today, this album is recognized as one of the band’s first albums to appeal to a larger mainstream audience with less focus on its traditional thrash metal sound. This album wound up selling over 16 million copies in the US alone.

After this album, Metallica continued to release albums that explored new genres and styles. During the next few years, the band would go on to release Binge & Purge, Load, Reload, Garage, S&M, and St. Anger. Then, in 2008, Metallica returned to its earlier sound with the release of Death Magnetic. This album returned to the band’s metal trash roots and debuted at number one in the US. The album quickly climbed the charts globally, reaching number one on both the Billboard 200 and the European album charts. In addition, this became the fastest-selling album of the year in Australia.

After this, Metallic continued to release albums in the same vein as its original sound, releasing its tenth studio album Hardwired…to Self-Destruct in 2016. This album was released via the band’s own record label, Blackened Recordings. The album’s single “Hardwired” went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 charts.

Now the band’s eleventh studio album 72 Seasons is set to be released in April of 2023. In anticipation of the release of its newest album, the band released the single “Lux Æterna” in November 2022.

Metallica has won an impressive nine Grammy Awards and three MTV VMA awards. Its style is influenced by bands such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Aerosmith, but Metallica itself has gone on to be one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, selling more than 120 million records worldwide.

For those who are looking forward to seeing Metallica live at any of its shows, the band delivers an incredible live experience. Fans flock to stadiums, festivals, and concert halls to watch the group perform dozens of songs spanning its extensive discography. Over the years, Metallica has played over 2,000 shows, traveling to every populated continent in the world. What started out as a small movement in California, has spread globally, earning the group an incredible following of metal fans from countries virtually everywhere.

Metallica’s adrenaline-filled shows aren’t for those who wish to sit back and relax. The band members all deliver their own bold energy to the stage, and the crowd follows suit. Most Metallica shows involve fan interaction, with concert attendees singing, clapping, jumping, and thrashing along to the music. In addition to the incredible power that the band brings to the stage during a show, the audio and visual effects are also second to none. Metallica is known for playing a loud concert, where every beat of the drum, every strum of the bass, and every lyric is felt from head to toe.

Live reviews

A most memorable night as the boys set out to open the new Royal Arena with a bang. And that they did!

From the opening of Hardwired it was clear they were here and they meant business! The most in-your-face opening of a Metallica gig I have ever witnessed. While there were a few noticeable "hiccups" in James' voice it was, to my ears, nothing major. But evidently it prooved to be just that.

James told us he and a few of the others weren't feeling well and about 30 minutes into the show he had a talk with Lars, center-stage, and at this point most of us looked at each-other and thought, "Uh-oh. Something's up. They're gonna cancel..."

James adressed the crowd, saying the band weren't sounding good and that he hated giving us a bad show. He wanted to stop. He asked the crowd outright, if we wanted a make-up show later with Metallica in full force or if they should continue at half mast. The crowd roared a reassuring and supportive "No!" - meaning: It's OK, James. We are here for you. We want you to battle on. We can do this together.

He laughed warmly, thanked the crowd for our support and said, "You asked for it".

They reorganized, changed the set-list and came out again and this time it seemed there was more energy in their performance. They were out to proove that they could do this, illness be damned! And as James asked for the crowds help in singing the lyrics, it didn't feel like all the other times he had done so. This was special. For once, you actually felt as if you were helping James, helping the band, through this ordeal. Together. And it felt mighty good. Sometimes this whole "Metallica-family"-thing gets a bit worn-out and cliché, at least for me. But in that moment I felt it. The kinship. The coming together. And that was a mighty thing. A mighty good thing.

The band soldiered on, ripping into a mighty version of Fade to Black, that hit home a bit more than it used to.

Yes, there was an incident with Kirk during the intro, first missing his cue and then playing false notes, but not one of the critics questioned why. Just prior to Fade Kirk had done a solo thrasing his guitar around. For Fade he was then given another guitar, but the receiver on it cut out leaving him muted. They quickly gave him another guitar, the same he'd used for the solo, which was not tuned to Fade thus producing false notes. He finished the intro and they quickly changed guitars again, this time with a working receiver and in-tune.

It's ok to criticize if the criticism is justified. Factless criticism is just whining.

So they battled on raising the roof with a feroscious rendition of Seek and Destroy and the most pummeling version of Battery I've ever heard. Absolutely blistering.

And closing out with Sandman with the crowd in full roar was just perfect.

It was a truly memorable concert both performance and set-wise. Oh, and they even included Harvester of Sorrow which was a very nice surprise for me.

The stage was beautiful with a built-in screen. And a screen in the ceiling as well. Epic and beautiful.

A memorable night I won't forget as long as I live. As a fan, they did me proud with this one. I just hope James recovers and regains his strenght once again.

Hetfield, rise!

The impatient wait had been going on for months - I booked this show when tickets went on sale back in March or whenever it was, and October had take so long to come around - but finally it was here: Metallica day!

The day started with a trip to the pop-up merch store in London, then onto the O2 for an agonising queue (good thing it's what us Brits do best, apart from moan about it of course) before finally getting in and finding my seat - which, by pure luck, was a superb view. Again, what felt like days, but in reality was only 30-40 mins wait, the lights dimmed, the background music shut off, and the familiar notes of the intro track, "The Ecstasy of Gold", complete with video footage from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", began to ring out, to rapturous roaring and whistling from the 20,000 strong crowd. The hairs on my arms are standing on end just recounting it for this review. And then we were in: full-bore, 100mph, Metallica took to the stage and belted out song after song after song with barely a moment to catch your breath before the next does of thrash metal came your way. "Thrash metal?", I hear you say, "Metallica hasn't been thrash metal since the 80's!". Oh my friend, trust me when I say thrash metal - we had some of the best early work represented tonight, not least with half a dozen track from the new album "Hardwired... To Self Destruct" that included unrelenting riff after riff, from the likes of "Hardwired", "Atlas Rise", "Moth Into Flame", coupled with one of the heaviest tracks they've ever written "Dream No More", plus "Halo on Fire" and "Now That We're Dead". All segmented in-between some of the bands greatest songs; "Seek & Destroy", "Through The Never", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "Through The Never", "One", "Sad But True", "Fuel", the obligatory cover, this time from the Misfits' "Die Die My Darling", before ending the show with "Master of Puppets".

Of course, it wasn't the end - back for the encore the intro to "Damage Inc" came on, before they ripped all the way through it, eventually slowing the pace to play the ever-loved "Nothing Else Matters" and finally ending on probably their most well known song "Enter Sandman"

It was a great varied selection of tunes that spans most of their career - the only notable exceptions being there was nothing from "Load", "St Anger" or the previous record "Death Magnetic". But otherwise all the other studio albums were represented. Some guitar and bass doodles from Kirk and Rob, before Rob gave us a wonderful tribute to Cliff by playing "Anesthesia".

If you get the chance to go, then go see this show - it's truly magnificent, from a band with 36 years experience in being the biggest metal band on the planet, and it shows you just why they are. I just wish I had a ticket for tomorrow night too.

We went to a concert in Toronto to see; Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold, and the show I have been waiting my life to see; Metallica. They all sported the Blue Jays jersey with their names at some point and thanking them for the gifts. The show had a Dj mixing up songs before/between acts from groups like Beastie Boys to Black Sabbath. Volbeat and avenged Sevenfold were great acts my first seeing all. My 16yr old is really into Avenged Sevenfold and was not disapointed. (end of grade 10 present). Volbeat i have heard in passing once and will do my best to spread the word about them.Glad i made it there in time to catch Volbeat if you ever have a chance make sure you catch them! Avenged Sevenfold was everything my 16 year old had told me. Those who missed them may be may be able to catch them soon as they alluded to coming back. They make me glad that metal is carring on to the younger generation these days. "We love Canada, we love you guys you're so nice and you always get us @#$!*&-up!" They were amazed that as Canadians when he made reference to the flag from another country someone was holding up we cheered not booed "cause thats just how nice you all are!"Finally but not least in any way Metallica.First of all their pyrotechniques were amazing boasting two small hot air ballons above them. The stage was set up so everyone had a good view and sported large screens for those further back to follow the rifts as well. At one point they were all on drums together each sporting their own.James Hetfield after noticing a young 8 yr old in the audience made reference to the"...Metallica family, young, 'medium' and old." They played flawlessly and didnt disapoint their fans. My 16 year old was excited to see Metallica and who influenced not only her Mom and friends but the music yet to come out. The screens showed videos like clips from "the unforgiven" to lead up the one of the many big hit songs. The encore was what i was waiting for...the two songs my friends and I have been singing since grade school. What a great venue; no big line up for anything but marchandise. Thanks to all who made the show work:-)

Metallica@RoyalArena03feb2017

Overall it was great. A blast of a concert! What wasn't so great mostly has to do with inexperience among staff of the arena itself, and the fact that it was premiere night on a brand new untried venue. Plus the tech geeks victory over common sense in arena design.

There was trouble with wi-fi connections, which initially meant doors opened 10-20minutes late due to ticket validation.(whiplash experience)

Bar staff initially unaware of validity of drink tickets (VIP-bracelet)

Understaffed bar and merchandise shop in lounge area.

Lounge area cramped. The room could have been 3 times the size to comfortably hold that many people. This was only a problem until early access was given to GA floor, as many went in at that time.

Luggage handling/storage at Royal Arena is a total disaster. There were no oversized lockers. People had to be in possession of an IOS or Android smartphone (not windows compatible) with mobile pay on it, which excludes 10-25% of Danish concertgoers and 100% of foreigners. Redo ASAP! Loose codes and an arena tech was assigned to deal with the issue analogous, but it was too little too late, and will be a reoccurring issue in the future.

Those were - except for luggage - all minor things, and this review has to end on a very positive note with a great shoutout to the crew at CID entertainment for going the full mile to make everyone as comfortable as possible and making everything work on the fly. Thanks guys!

General arena design is also top shelf, and can endure LOUD bands to the extent that no other large scale arena in Denmark can follow. Thumbs up for that!

As for Metallica - James wasn't well. We could hear it; he told us himself too. The crowd wanted it to happen so bad, and it did. I only hope there has been no permanent health damage induced by playing the (almost) full show. Metallica delivers - every single f#$!ing time!

Electrifying as ever with their incredible performance and stage presence, the members of Metallica delivered the goods and more last night with a nice cross section of numbers running the gamut of their colossal catalog! There were occasional pauses to interact and converse with the crowd, but the band segued their way into one song after another the majority of the evening. The night opened up with an intro of the Ecstasy of Gold followed by the title cut off of the band's latest effort Hard Wired to Self Destruct. James Hetfield's vocals were as strong as ever from beginning to end. Kirk Hammett engaged in one brain crushing guitar solo after another, Lars Ulrich brought a great and almost nonstop back beat with his furious drumming and Rob Trujillo provided excellent bass work including a great treatment of the solo the late Cliff Burton was well known for on Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth). During the aforementioned bass solo video footage of Burton performing onstage accented the music perfectly. Other exceptional highlights included Kirk's stellar guitar shredding accompanied frequently by usage of his wah pedal. Cuts such as Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Creeping Death and the encore Enter Sandman in particular contained solos showcasing his seemingly boundless talent! Things heated up literally as well during the songs Fight Fire with Fire and Sandman when pyrotechnics were activated and flames shot up from the stage. At the end Ulrich tossed sticks out into the audience. Hetfield, Trujillo and Hammett threw and shook picks from little jack o' lantern tins out into the crowd, the picks of which boasting the band logo as well as the theatre's location and concert date on them. Great souvenirs in even something so small right there as my husband and I each scooped one up off the floor! A grand night out, the next one of which cannot come soon enough!

2nd September show in Cobenhagen.

Tallica promised us a unique show because this concert was postponed show from February. Many people travel a long way to see them in February including me traveling from Iceland.

The moment when I heard Seek & Destory in the #3rd slot then I knew this was going to be something special.

They performed Thought The Never in slot #4 and that song has not been played for 4 years. The next song was The Day That Never Comes and we did not believe that because in our wildest dreams we hoped to have that on the list, we jumped like there was no day tomorrow.

Dream No More was in the slot #7 and that was the second time Metallica has played that song. It was nice to hear Breadfan in slot #10. We saw many drons flying over the stage in Moth Into Flame, which was amazing!

Fight Fire With Fire was in the encore faster than ever.

Me and my friends walked away from Royal Arena in great mood with a big smile on our faces and with a hoarse throut, like James was in February.

About the unique show as we where promised in February it was only UNIQUE for 2 days because Amsterdam got almost the same setlist. But we got a free T-shirt, that was probably the unique thing for us.

We where hoping for some live debut like Murder One, Spit Out The Bones but it did not happend.

The song ManUnkind was performed tonight in Paris (10th September) and that is unique.

Iceland has been waiting since 2004 for Metallica to come back to Iceland when they held the biggest indore concert in Reykjavík. We do not want to wait another 23 years like we did before 2004.

All the best,

Gauti Sigurpálsson

Over 10 years, I got to see Metallica 7 times and each experience was in a different country. I have to admit the venues look different and incorporate a new way to watch the band but the musical vibe remains intact. They have shaped into an incredibly professional and hard-working live band. We can argue about and discuss their new album materials but one thing is guaranteed with Metallica: you will get only the best from their live performance. If you have not seen them live, just go to one gig. Doesnt matter if you are not a metal fan because the experience they deliver is incredible. I have seen families at their shows and even people who do not understand nor appreciate metal, but they all seemed to be excited from what they were witnessing. The only pity with Metallica is that you will most likely never have the chance to see them in a small venue. They are just too big of a band in demand and only deliver in large outdoor festivals or stadiums.

This summer they had a new style of set list where people could request via voting for songs. The top songs define the set list and this gives a chance for people to vote for what they want to hear. The only unfortunate thing about all this is that people are voting for songs they already play each tour. People should vote to get them to play new songs from their past, which they havent performed over 20 years. I was in Helsinki (their first European gig for 2014) and they had to play "The Frayed Ends of Insanity" and it was ecstatic. \m/

Do you like your rock shows huge, loud & engaging? Do you like stage sets that fill entire arena floors, filled with gigantic set pieces & enough pyro to blow up a small country? Do you like singing along to tightly played, iconic songs for 2-3 hours with thousands of friends? If yes, Metallica are your guys.

Each show starts when The Ecstasy of Gold (theme song from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) plays over the PA, and crowd anticipation hits a fever pitch with thousands shouting along with the melody. Just thinking about the opening gives me goosebumps. Once Ecstasy hits its crescendo, they hit the stage like a thunderbolt, hammering through their lineup of classic tunes to a screaming, fist pumping, metal-sign-throwing crowd. Grizzled metal fans join together with legions of kids (oftentimes their own kids), shouting out every word of every song, and even singing along with guitar solos & melodies. Their set list varies each night. There are standards that they have to play, and you'll of course hear plenty of their big songs such as Enter Sandman and Master of Puppets. But they mix things up extremely well and no two nights are ever quite the same. It's amazing to me that after 30+ years and thousands of shows, the guys in the band still love mixing things up, still love goofing around on stage, still love engaging with the crowd, and obviously just love playing live & generating crazy crowd energy.

Quite simply, they are the kings of arena metal. Bow to the kings!

May 17, 2017 Nassau Coliseum

This was the first time I have been to a Metallica show. James has the best personality on stage. He gets the entire crowd into the show; into the mood; very laid back style. I like the fact the guys walk around the stage from different angles so that no matter where you sit, you can take excellent photos of them; that I have to give credit for that they do think of the fans in that aspect. The special effects were beautiful and showed in my pictures with my camera. James is very considerate of the fans from all aspects, you have to be in the Metallica Family...and you have to sing along with them...you just have to...the band played all the hit songs from present to past, no complaints. Saved the best song for last...Sandman....The sound system was excellent all around, no complaints. I am in still in shock; this was the best show I have ever seen in my life. They really have fun while playing they keep your interest up...James will not let the fans down..this band wants total audience participation...that is what to me, really stole the show. they do love and appreciate the fans....that is what stuck with me the most for a 1st time live performance is they really care about the fans..that really impressed me...

It was my first time in Turkey. From São Paulo to Istanbul I needed to take a 12-hour flight. 12 hours and 5 days. The necessary time to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city before finally seeing one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen! For me the concert had started when I met another crazy fan at the metro stations, going to Istanbul Technical University Stadium. So, after a few minutes, I was there. And I was able to see the power Metallica have to gather so many people from many countries. Lebanon, Kazakistan, Iran. Like me, a Brazilian guy. I admit I have not known the opening band, Pentagram. But the sound those guys had played left me so surprised. What an awesome performance! I had felt the emotion of being part of a rock concert when people started to sing the lyrics. Two hours later, time has come. Metallica by Request. The last European tour concert. The moment to listen the powerful voice of James Hetfield, the aggressive way to perform his guitar riffs, and all the greatest Metallica classical musics in front of me. In front of thousands of fans. Starting the concert playing "Master of Puppets" had been their way to say: Enjoy the best concert of your lives! Long live Metallica! Horns up! \m/

How much are last-minute metallica ‘m72 tour’ tickets.

Round two of ‘M72’ is finally almost here.

After wrapping the first North American leg of their two-year tour last November, Metallica is returning to the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for another 12 huge stadium ‘M72 Tour’ concerts.

Notable stops on this run include Foxborough, MA (Aug. 2, 4), Chicago, IL (Aug. 9, 11), Minneapolis, MN (Aug. 16, 18), Seattle, WA (Aug. 30, Sept. 1) and Mexico City, MX (Sept. 20, 22).

For those not familiar with the conceit of this tour, Hetfield and co. are playing two unique concerts on Fridays and Sundays in each city. If you attend both nights, the band promises there won’t be any repeats.

To sweeten the deal even more, the Rock Hall of Famers are bringing different special guests with them for the first and second shows.

That means, on night one, fans will be treated to Pantera and Mammoth WVH sets, whereas, on night two, Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills kick off the festivities.

And, if you want to thrash along to “Enter Sandman,” “One,” “Master of Puppets,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “For Whom The Bell Tolls” and so many more on one or two nights, last-minute tickets are still available.

Some are shockingly cheap, too.

At the time of publication, our team found tickets going for as low as $30 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Metallica set list

The last time Metallica played in the U.S. was when they headlined back-to-back gigs at Detroit’s Ford Field on Nov. 10 and 12, 2023.

Although we can’t guarantee what Hetfield and Hammett will play on tour this year, here’s what the band performed on night one and night two back then, according to Set List FM.

Metallica concert review

Not sure what to expect when you see Hetfield, Hammett and co. live?

We’ve got you covered.

You can check out the NY Post’s review of Metallica’s two concerts at MetLife Stadium right  here .

Metallica opening acts

Here’s a little background on each of Metallica’s opening acts for night one of the ‘M72 Tour.’

Pantera  are major headliners in their own right as well. Formed in 1981, the group has sold approximately 20 million records worldwide and has received four Grammy nominations over the past four decades. Just a few of their biggest hits include “Walk,” “Cowboys From Hell,” and “Cemetery Gates.”

Mammoth WVH  is Wolfgang Van Halen’s rock band. For those wondering, yes, Van Halen is the son of guitar legend Eddie Van Halen. In 2021, the group released its first album, “Mammoth WVH.” Prior to this run, the group co-headlined a tour with Dirty Honey in early 2022.

And, night two:

Five Finger Death Punch , originally from Las Vegas, slays. Active since 2005, the five-member outfit recently toured with Megadeth, The Hu, and Fire from the Gods. They’re not going anywhere anytime soon, either. Lead singer Ivan Moody recently said, “I can’t quit…I ain’t going anywhere,” in an interview with  Revolver .

Ice Nine Kills  has released six albums since their 2000 inception. In the 22 years since they got their start, the band has made a name for itself with their “horror-inspired lyrics.” Literature fans, in case you were wondering, the answer is yes. The group’s name is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut’s seminal 1963 novel “Cat’s Cradle.”

Huge hard rock tours in 2024

Although no tour this year will rock quite as hard as Metallica’s, many of the biggest names in metal will be on the road these next few months.

Here are just five tours that should turn the volume up all the way up to 11 in the near future.

•  Iron Maiden

•  Staind with Breaking Benjamin

•  Judas Priest

•  Slipknot

•  Korn

Metallica Launches 2024 Tour: Photos, Video and Set List

Metallica kicked off their 2024 tour with an emphatic performance in Munich, Germany on May 24.

The concert officially launched the latest leg of Metallica’s M72 World tour. The trek, which began in April 2023, sees the metal giants playing two nights at each stop, with completely different set lists from one performance to the next.

In Munich, Metallica came out of the gates firing with “Whiplash,” the powerful lead single from their 1983 debut album Kill ‘em All   (see a clip of the opening song in the tweet below). The band followed with one of their best-loved tunes, “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” before delivering a rarity, “Of Wolf and Man.” The latter song, released on Metallica’s eponymous 1991 LP (known as the Black Album), hadn’t previously been performed during the M72 tour and was last played in 2021.

Other set highlights included classic tracks like “The Memory Remains,” Fade to Black," “Nothing Else Matters” and "Master of Puppets." The Munich gig also featured the live debut of “Room of Mirrors,” an album cut from Metallica’s 2023 album 72 Seasons .

From ‘Creeping Death’ to ‘Master of Puppets’: Metallica’s Seattle Symphony of Destruction

Article contributed by justin hunt | published on tuesday, september 3, 2024.

Metallica wrapped up the U.S. dates of their 2023/2024 M72 World Tour at Lumen Field in Seattle. This tour features a unique concept: Metallica doesn't just play in a town—they take over. The band performs two distinct shows on Friday and Sunday, with no songs repeated between them. Each show features a different pair of opening acts—Pantera and Mammoth WVH on Friday, and Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills on Sunday. The takeover also includes various events around town throughout the weekend: a film festival, performances by their kids' bands, a Q&A with celebrated Metallica artist Tony Squindo, a dedicated Metallica pop-up shop, and much more. We were on hand Friday night to cover the first half of this tour's conclusion.

Another distinctive aspect of the M72 tour is the stage. For over 30 years, Metallica has performed “in the round” at arenas, with the stage in the center of the floor. However, their stadium shows have traditionally placed the stage at one end of the field. That changed with this tour, which features their first in-the-round stadium stage. The stage is ring-shaped, like a giant donut in the middle of the field, with fans both inside and outside the ring. The inner circle of the stage, known as the snakepit, is one of the most coveted spots at a Metallica show. In the snakepit, you’re so close to the band that it’s a truly unique experience for a stadium concert. Surrounding the ring are eight massive towers, topped with cylindrical screens and equipped with equally massive speaker and lighting arrays. With a stage that faces every direction, the band has to work hard to entertain everyone—you can't just stand in one spot.

Mammoth WVH

The night kicked off with Mammoth WVH, fronted by Wolfgang Van Halen—yes, from that Van Halen family. Wolfgang is the son of the legendary late Eddie Van Halen—big shoes to fill, for sure. However, Wolfgang makes no attempt to replicate his father’s music or playing style; instead, he has his modern take on rock and roll. He’s as talented a guitar player as he is a singer, and with songs like “I’m Alright” and “Don’t Back Down,” Mammoth WVH got the audience fired up to start their weekend.

After splitting up around the turn of the millennium, groove metal pioneers Pantera have had a history filled with tragedy. Guitarist Dimebag Darrell was killed on stage while performing with Damageplan in 2004, and his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul, died from heart disease in 2018. The brothers never had a chance to reunite with frontman Phil Anselmo, but now Phil, along with bass player Rex Brown, has brought Pantera back to pay tribute to the brothers and their musical legacy. Standing in for the brothers are legendary Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde, a close friend of Dimebag’s, and Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante, filling in for Vinnie.

Opening with “A New Level,” the band was an unstoppable force from start to finish. Phil addressed the crowd, saying, “Everything we do tonight is for the brothers.” Songs like “Strength Beyond Strength” and “I’m Broken” whipped the audience into a frenzy. Toward the end of the set, while playing the iconic track “Walk,” the Seattle Seahawks’ Blue Thunder drumline joined the band on stage, adding an extra layer of heaviness to the song.

Many fans have strong feelings about the Pantera reunion, with some feeling unfulfilled by the absence of the Abbott brothers. Regardless of your thoughts, it’s clear that hearing these songs played live again, especially for younger fans who never had the chance to see the original Cowboys From Hell, is a powerful experience.

As the crowd finished singing along to AC/DC’s “Long Way to the Top,” the lights went down, and “The Ecstasy of Gold,” Metallica’s walk-on theme for more than 40 years, began to play. The audience roared as a drum kit rose from beneath the stage, and drummer Lars Ulrich took his seat, launching the band into their 1984 classic “Creeping Death.” The crowd of more than 70,000 chanted “DIE!” along with the band, setting the tone for a show designed to make a large stadium feel intimate. As frontman James Hetfield and the band thundered through “Harvester of Sorrow” and “Leper Messiah,” it was clear the band was in end-of-tour form—tight and firing on all cylinders. Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett kicked off the intro to Load’s “King Nothing,” a song that has recently made a more regular return to their setlists after years of infrequent performance.

After this fourth song, Ulrich’s drum kit sank back into the stage, while 90 degrees around the ring, a new kit emerged. This pattern continued throughout the night, with Lars playing a drum kit in all four quadrants of the stadium, working a big counterclockwise circle around the floor. Hetfield and the rest of the band tended to stick close to him, while Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo moved back and forth across the stage a bit more. During the always heavy “Sad But True,” Trujillo even stepped onto a platform that carried him clear across the center of the snakepit, full of fans thrilled to get even closer to the band.

While the M72 tour supports the release of 2023’s 72 Seasons, Metallica did a great job of including material from every studio album—except for 2003’s controversial St. Anger. New songs like “If Darkness Had a Son” and the title track of 72 Seasons fit seamlessly into the set. A personal highlight was the 1986 instrumental “Orion.” All three of the band’s string players gathered in a tight formation around Ulrich’s kit, and the energy as they played off each other was palpable. Trujillo’s bass rang out during the interlude, sending chills down my spine, and Hetfield fittingly dedicated the song to the band’s former bassist, the late Cliff Burton.

While technically and visually impressive, the M72 stage presents a challenge in producing clear sound to all corners of the stadium. With fans watching from literally every angle, no speaker system can satisfy everyone. When I was on the floor near the soundboard, the sound was some of the best I’ve ever heard. However, in the snakepit at the center of the stage, the sound levels were quieter and less bass-heavy. You’re so close to the band that you can hear the acoustic sounds of Ulrich’s kit, and if you’re in the wrong spot, the drums can sound out of sync with the sound emerging from the PA speakers. I’ve heard mixed reports from people in the stands, with some loving and others disliking the sound. Unfortunately, with an in-the-round show in a stadium, it’s tough to make the sound perfect for everyone.

After a fiery performance of “Fuel,” the show ended with the one-two punch of “Seek & Destroy” and “Master of Puppets,” leaving the audience on a high note. After the band ran around the stage, tossing guitar picks and drumsticks to the fans, they each gave a thank-you and goodnight message to the crowd. Ulrich, who often ends these farewells by saying, “We will see you very soon,” concluded with, “We’ll see you on Sunday!” That show is the final U.S. date on the M72 tour, with two more weekends in Mexico City still to come. Rumors are swirling about what could be next for the band, and hopefully, it won’t be long before we find out what 2025 holds for them!

Progressive jam giants Umphrey's McGee‘s return to Las Vegas for the seventh installment of the massively popular UMBowl production was marked once again by a stand-out tour closing dual evening extravaganza where all stops were pulled out and the power given directly to the fans, for better or for worse.

On June 24, Round Records & ATO Records will release GarciaLive Volume Six: July 5, 1973 – Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders, the latest installment of the celebrated GarciaLive archival series. The three-CD set was recorded at the 200 capacity Lion’s Share club formerly located in the small town of San Anselmo, CA, just 20 miles north of San Francisco. The performance features Jerry Garcia performing with friend, mentor and legendary keyboardist/vocalist Merl Saunders. The duo is joined by drummer Bill Vitt and bassist John Kahn, who soon became a lifelong Garcia collaborator.

METALLICA's 'M72' Tour Travels With 64 Guitars, 36 Of Which Need To Be Show-Ready

Jeff Wagner of WCCO-TV , the CBS television affiliate that provides local news to viewers in Minnesota, has shared a behind-the-scenes look at the massive effort that it took to put on the two METALLICA shows at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis over the weekend.

According to the report, METALLICA 's touring crew includes 156 people, with 40 steelworkers, 168 local production hands and 92 truck drivers also helping to ensure things run smoothly. Another 800 people are employed locally to support each tour stop.

Jon-Michael Marino , the tour coordinator, told WCCO that there are four drum kits on the stage with two backups in the truck. There are 64 guitars and bass that go on the road, and 36 of them need to be show-ready (12 per band member). There are 6,000 guitar picks used or given out per concert and only 25 drumsticks are used or given away per performance.

Asked why so many guitars need to be ready for each show, Marino said: "Across, let's call it 15-16 songs, there's various tuning. There's also things that happen naturally like strings breaking, guitars going out of tune that have to be swapped in the moment."

In support of METALLICA 's latest album, "72 Seasons" , the band has been playing two-night, no-repeat shows in each city — first in Europe, then in North America, back in Europe, and now once again in North America — as part of the "M72" tour. Each concert sees METALLICA performing on a massive ring-shaped stage, with the Snake Pit in the center, and four drum sets which are equally spaced out around the circular stage so drummer Lars Ulrich can get closer to the audience at various points in the show.

Touring alongside METALLICA are PANTERA , FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH , MAMMOTH WVH and ICE NINE KILLS . For last weekend's Minnesota shows, the Friday lineup featured PANTERA and MAMMOTH WVH , with FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and ICE NINE KILLS playing on Sunday.

A number of METALLICA -themed events took place on Saturday, including bowling, axe throwing, films about METALLICA , "Name That Tune" competitions and a performance by AND ONE FOR ALL , in between the METALLICA performances.

METALLICA will close out the 2024 touring season with four shows in Mexico City at the end of September.

METALLICA 's manager Cliff Burnstein told Billboard that between 80% and 90% of fans at each concert attend both shows.

The "M72" tour launched in late April 2023 in Amsterdam.

Metallica Discography:

Kill 'Em All (1983) Ride the Lightning (1984) Master of Puppets (1986) ...And Justice for All (1988) Metallica (1991) Load (1996) Reload (1997) St. Anger (2003) Death Magnetic (2008) Hardwired... to Self-Destruct (2016)

Metallica has been a trend-setter in the heavy-metal world and has only gone up throughout their years in music. Fans often describe them as ‘life changing’ and ‘visionaries for the rock world’ because of how they introduced their heavy metal songs to the music scene in 1981. 

Metallica Background

Metallica was formed in 1981 and had many group members come and go. The current band members are James Hetfield (guitarist and vocalist), Lars Ulrich (drummer), Kirk Hammett (guitarist), and Robert Trujillo (bassist). Other memorable group members are Cliff Burton, Dave Mustaine and Jason Newstead.

Metallica started off by producing underground music hits and built a loyal fanbase right from the start. Their album, Master of Puppets , released in 1986 was their breakthrough moment, as it was described as one of the heaviest albums in the rock world. Their fifth album, Metallica, was the one that grabbed the attention of mainstream media and got the rest of the world hooked on their once very niche music. The band was even inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

Metallica’s Greatest Hits

Metallica is one of the few bands that’s won award after award, despite not being a mainstream band for long. Their song, “Until It Sleeps”, won the Best Hard Rock Music Video for MTV’s Music Awards. Other hits include “Nothing Else Matters”, “One”, “Enter Sandman” and “Master of Puppets”. They even won iHeart Radio’s award for the Best Rock Artist of the Year in 2018.

Metallica’s James Hetfield, actor in new western film, doesn’t seem to like acting: “Next time I’m asked to do something like this, remind me to say no”

Hetfield has a role in western thriller The Thicket, currently in cinemas, alongside Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage

Metallica ’s James Hetfield has spoken about his role in new western thriller The Thicket during a recent episode of podcast The Metallica Report .

In the film, released to US theatres on September 6, the singer/guitarist plays a lawman and performs alongside Game Of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, who produced the project. It’s only Hetfield’s second-ever onscreen acting role, following a turn as a police officer in 2019 Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile . Turns out, that may be due to Hetfield not being the biggest fan of acting in the first place.

When asked how he got the Thicket part, Hetfield answers (per Blabbermouth ): “Peter Dinklage contacted me through management, just saying, ‘Hey, I got a part for you in something we’re putting together. And I just thought of you, and that’s it.’ It’s, like, ‘OK, cool.’”

The musician adds, “I’m not into acting at all,” citing the difference between projecting “big” when he’s performing onstage versus the more intimate scale of performing to a camera. “I like big projecting,” he says.

Hetfield goes on to say that he only went for the Thicket and Extremely Wicked… parts as he was specifically sought out for them, and he expresses a lack of interest in auditioning for roles: “I’ve done that before, and it's not my bag, really.”

The musician talks in depth about the experience of filming The Thicket , grumbling about the harsh weather during the shoot in Canada and the long waits in his trailer for when he’s needed onset.

“While I’m sitting in a trailer, and it’s probably minus 10 degrees out up in Canadia [ sic ], we’re outside of Calgary and I’m sitting there in period clothing, 1800s turn of the century,” Hetfield remembers. “I mean, the wool’s great, but the shoes [are] not so great.”

He continues: “I’m sitting there with [Hetfield’s assistant] Ray. It’s like, ‘Hey, you’re shooting today.’ And then the end of the day, it’s like, ‘Ah, we didn’t get to you today.’ And I told Ray, I said, ‘Hey, next time I’m asked to do something like this, remind me to say no.’ Ha ha! But that’s how it was in the moment.”

Hetfield finishes by seeming satisfied with the end result of his effort, but concludes that working in music isn’t as tedious as it is waiting about when you’re in the movie business. “When it’s all done, the work you put into it, it’s like, ‘Ah, yeah, that was nothing.’ But just when you’re sitting in it and waiting. Music is not about waiting. ‘I got an idea. Hey take this down. Let’s do this.’ Practicing your line and waiting to say it five days later is, like, oh, driving me nuts.”

Metallica recently wrapped a tour of North America and are playing a string of dates in Mexico City from September 20 to 29. See below for details.

Metallica 2024 tour dates:

When I read that Richey Beckett had lost vision in his right eye, I was floored. It isn’t the sort of news you expect.
