Metallica fans, brace yourselves—Auckland is officially on the map for the 2025 Metallica tour. According to a leaked article from the New Zealand Herald, Metallica will perform at Eden Park on November 19, 2025, marking their return to New Zealand after more than a decade. This news comes just days after confirmation of their Perth show, as part of the band’s global M72 world tour.

Although the New Zealand Herald swiftly deleted the story, the details have already ignited excitement across the country. Metallica’s Auckland show at Eden Park will be the only New Zealand date in the tour, meaning Kiwi fans will need to act fast when tickets go on sale. With the band’s history of selling out stadiums across the globe, Eden Park’s 50,000-capacity stadium will undoubtedly be filled to the brim for this monumental event.

What to Expect from Metallica’s Eden Park Show

Fans attending Metallica’s 2025 show in Auckland can expect an unforgettable experience. The M72 world tour has already received rave reviews, featuring their signature stage setups, pyrotechnics, and a setlist packed with classics as well as tracks from their latest album 72 Seasons.

Metallica’s last visit to New Zealand was in 2010, so this upcoming performance is a long-awaited return for Auckland’s metalheads. The Eden Park show will be a landmark event, with the band’s decades-long career and status as one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
