The tour will be extended into its fourth year with the fresh announcement of 16 shows in Europe and the UK spanning May, June and July 2026.
Two-night tickets for the newly announced No Repeat Weekends and tickets for the single-night engagements will be on sale May 30 at 10 AM local time through Live Nation.
If you think that’s good news, wait till you see the behemoths who provide the support on M72’s 2026 UK run! It will come from none other than: Acclaimed French metal visionaries Gojira who wowed audiences in 2024 at the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony. Metal icons Pantera, who have thrilled audiences with their new line up and monstrous back catalogue. The dazzling American Hardcore band Knocked Loose and finally Swedish Metallers Avatar, (varies by date).
Since the tour kicked off in April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has already seen Metallica play to some four million fans!
The M72 World Tour’s 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.
That's right London fans two different shows and two different supports. On July 3 (Gojira and Knocked Loose support) and July 5 (Pantera and Avatar support) with both shows at the London Stadium.
There will be one night appearances in Glasgow - Hamden Park (June 25) and Cardiff - Principality Stadium (June 28), both shows getting support from Gojira and Knocked Loose. Ireland fear not, there are two nights in Dublin; June 19, with Pantera and Avatar as support and June 21 with Gojira and Knocked Loose support both nights will be at the Aviva Stadium.
As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation.
