Metallica has officially announced that their M72 World Tour will make its way to Australia and New Zealand in November 2025.

The tour, which has already hit several countries, will see the Bay Area metal legends performing at stadiums across Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland.

Starting on November 1 in Perth, which was exclusively revealed by Rolling Stone AUNZ, the tour will continue through the major cities before wrapping up in Auckland on November 19. The shows will feature Metallica‘s signature Snake Pit stage, a central feature of their performances that brings fans closer to the band in a way that has become synonymous with their live shows.

The announcement follows the success of Metallica’s latest album, 72 Seasons, which reached No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart in 2023. This marked their eighth chart-topping album Down Under, and served as a followup to Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, which also led the ARIA Chart following its release in 2016. The band’s 1991 Black Album remains one of the country’s best-selling records, certified 13 times platinum by ARIA.
