The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here. Two titans—**Metallica** and **Judas Priest**—have united for one last monumental journey: the **“Metal Gods & Metal Masters” Final Tour**, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime, stadium‑scale celebration traversing Europe and North America.
Kicking off **August 15, 2024**, in **Los Angeles** (SoFi Stadium), this tour will blaze through key cities: **Las Vegas** on August 18, **Chicago** on August 22, and **New York** (MetLife Stadium) on August 26—then across the border to **Toronto** on August 30. ([vickylivesports.com][2]) The journey continues into Europe with signature believers’ destinations: **London** (Wembley) on **September 10**, **Berlin** (Olympiastadion) on **September 13–14**, **Paris** (Stade de France) on **September 17–18**, and **Madrid** (Wanda Metropolitano) on **September 21–22**.

What’s more, whispers of Asia and Australia stops—featuring Tokyo and Sydney—hint at a truly global farewell.
The collaboration is rooted in unparalleled mutual reverence: Metallica’s bombastic thrash meets Priest’s twin‑guitar NWOBHM legacy—a powerful closing chapter. Both bands emphasize this is likely their final joint endeavor.
Setlists promise hero‑filled nights: expect Metallica staples like “Enter Sandman,” “Master of Puppets,” and “One,” alongside Judas Priest anthems from “Breaking the Law” to “Painkiller.” Rumors even suggest surprise covers, ghostly deep cuts, and collaborative crossovers during encores.
Production-wise, fans are in for a sensory onslaught: pyro, lasers, theatrical staging, immersive visuals—the works. And with VIP packages, pre‑sales, and fan‑club access expected, tickets will disappear fast. ([aesplora.com][1])
Friends, this is more than a tour—it’s a farewell to two sagas interwoven into metal history. Secure your tickets, steel your voices, and prepare for the ultimate closing act of metal’s greatest legends.
