Metallica is not wrapping the M72 era after the Sphere. On September 16, 2026, the band confirmed 12 new North American stadium dates for spring 2027, with Limp Bizkit and Avatar returning as support. The run starts May 8 in Vancouver and ends June 19 in Salt Lake City. These are single-night stadium shows in the round at the 50-yard line, with the Snake Pit in the center of the stage.
Presales begin Monday, September 21. General on-sale is Friday, September 25 at 10 a.m. local time. Demand will spike fast — Metallica stadium inventory rarely sits.

What Makes These Shows Different
M72 2027 keeps the same stadium production Metallica has used since 2023: stage at midfield, 360-degree sightlines, Snake Pit in the middle. Support is Limp Bizkit and Avatar on every date. A portion of every ticket goes to local charities through Metallica’s All Within My Hands foundation.
These dates land after the band’s Life Burns Faster residency at Sphere in Las Vegas (October 2026–March 2027). That residency is a separate production. Do not mix Sphere tickets with these stadium dates.
City-by-City Ticket Notes
Vancouver (May 8) — BC Place
Tour opener. Fan Club and some partner presales differ here (no Citi/Verizon). Expect the tightest early inventory.
San Diego (May 13) — Snapdragon Stadium
Soccer stadium footprint; sightlines change by side. Compare lower-bowl vs. end-zone before you lock a section.
El Paso / San Antonio / Fayetteville
Sun Bowl, Alamodome, and Razorback Stadium are the value markets on paper — until on-sale day. Texas and Arkansas dates often jump once regional demand hits resale.
Kansas City (May 29) — Arrowhead Stadium
NFL-scale capacity. Parking and tailgate rules matter as much as seat location. Check Chiefs/Arrowhead event policies closer to the date.
Raleigh (June 2) — Carter-Finley Stadium
No Verizon or Spotify presale. Plan on Fan Club, Live Nation, SiriusXM, or Friday public sale. Wolfpack parking lots fill early for stadium concerts.
Indianapolis / Buffalo / Madison / Cleveland
Lucas Oil, Highmark, Camp Randall, and Huntington Bank Field are all first-time M72 2027 rooms. Madison and Raleigh have fewer partner presales, so public-sale queues will be heavier.
Salt Lake City (June 19) — Rice-Eccles Stadium
Tour closer. Last chance for Snake Pit and I Disappear inventory if anything remains.
How to Beat the On-Sale
- Join or renew Fifth Member / Legacy access and request a code now: metallica.com/presale-codes
- Have Citi, Verizon, Spotify, Live Nation, and SiriusXM accounts logged in before their windows.
- Use one device, one browser, and Ticketmaster’s official app. Multiple carts get you booted.
- Set a hard budget. Dynamic pricing on Metallica stadium shows is real.
- If the primary sale dies, wait 24–48 hours before paying peak resale. First-week listings are usually the most inflated.
- Screenshot your order number, not the ticket barcode. Transfer windows and refresh rules vary by venue.
Quick FAQ
Who is opening?
Limp Bizkit and Avatar on all 12 dates.
Are these two-night stands?
No. One show per city in 2027.
Is Sphere part of this tour?
No. Sphere is a separate Las Vegas residency. These are outdoor/stadium M72 dates.
Will more cities be added?
Metallica has not announced additional 2027 headlining stadium dates beyond this 12-show list.
Do proceeds support charity?
Yes. A portion of every ticket supports All Within My Hands programs in host cities.
Bottom line: If you want Metallica + Limp Bizkit + Avatar in a midfield stadium setup, the window is September 21–25. Start with official presale, then compare Ticketmaster against StubHub, SeatGeek, and Vivid Seats only after you know the all-in price.
