The wait is finally over, metalheads! After more than a decade, Metallica is set to bring their M72 world tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2025, and this one is going to be massive.
The 2025 Metallica Australia and New Zealand tour will kick off on November 1st in Perth and finish in Auckland on November 19th. Here’s the lineup of shows:
- November 1st – Optus Stadium, Perth
- November 8th – Marvel Stadium, Melbourne
- November 15th – Allianz Stadium, Sydney
- November 19th – Eden Park, Auckland
This is Metallica’s first return to Australia since their unforgettable 2013 headline slot at Soundwave Festival. This was a performance that solidified their status as live metal legends Down Under. However, many fans still recall the heartbreak of 2019. In a huge disappointment for fans, Metallica had to cancel their scheduled tour after James Hetfield re-entered rehab to focus on his health. Now, after several years of waiting, Metallica is back with a vengeance, ready to deliver the high-octane shows that fans have been craving.
A Night of Metal Magic
The 2025 Metallica Australian tour promises to be nothing short of spectacular. Their M72 world tour has already taken Europe and North America by storm with its jaw-dropping stage setups, epic pyrotechnics, and a setlist that spans their 40-year career. With classics like “Master of Puppets” and tracks from their latest album, 72 Seasons, Metallica will remind fans why they are still the kings of metal.
For this tour, Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies will join as support, making it a night of pure metal madness. If you thought their Soundwave 2013 show was legendary, this one will top it. With Optus Stadium, Marvel Stadium, and Allianz Stadium primed for the biggest shows of the year.
And for our friends across the ditch, Metallica is finally making a return to New Zealand after more than a decade. The band is set to tear up Eden Park in Auckland on November 19th, bringing the kind of show that Auckland metalheads have been waiting years to experience.
