BREAKING NEWS: Metallica Announce ‘M72’ 2026 UK and European Tour
Metallica have officially announced the return of their colossal **‘M72’ World Tour** to the UK and Europe in 2026 — marking another explosive chapter in their legendary live legacy. Following the massive success of their 2023–2024 run, the band is set to bring their groundbreaking “No Repeat Weekend” format back across the continent, delivering two unique nights of pure heavy metal power in each city.
The 2026 leg will kick off in **London**, before storming through **Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm, and Amsterdam**, with more cities expected to be revealed soon. Fans can expect a completely reimagined stage setup, new visuals, and an updated setlist that dives deep into Metallica’s four-decade catalogue — from *Kill ’Em All* to *72 Seasons*.
Frontman **James Hetfield** shared his excitement in a statement: “Europe has always been home to some of our loudest and most loyal fans. We can’t wait to come back, louder, faster, and heavier than ever. These shows are going to be something special.”
Supporting acts for the tour will feature a mix of metal’s most exciting names, including **Five Finger Death Punch**, **Architects**, and **Spiritbox**, joining Metallica on select dates. Each “No Repeat Weekend” promises completely different setlists and opening bands, ensuring no two nights are ever the same.
Tickets go on sale **Friday, November 8**, with early access for **Fifth Member Fan Club** members beginning two days earlier. VIP and “Snake Pit” packages will also return, giving die-hard fans the chance to get closer to the action than ever before.
With over 40 years of dominance, Metallica continue to prove why they remain the ultimate force in live rock — and in 2026, the roar of the ‘M72’ tour will shake Europe once again.
