M72 Tour 2026: Metallica Returns to Europe with No Repeat Weekends

M72 Is Back – Europe Awaits

The M72 World Tour continues to shake stadiums across the globe and will return to Europe in spring and summer 2026. Featuring the iconic in-the-round stage at midfield, fans will enjoy a 360° view from every angle, with the Snake Pit right at the heart of the action.

This leg of the tour brings back the No Repeat Weekends format, promising two nights of completely different setlists in the same city—celebrating over 40 years of Metallica’s music. A selection of One Night Only shows will also be part of the tour.

No Repeat Weekends – Two Unique Shows

Metallica fans in Frankfurt, Budapest, Dublin, and London will be treated to two nights of exclusive performances, with no songs repeated between nights. Each evening will also feature different opening acts.

The No Repeat Weekend experience offers a deeper connection with the band’s legacy—and yes, there will be extra fan events between shows to keep the energy alive.

One Night Only Shows – Iconic Stops Return

Eight One Night Only concerts will hit key cities including Athens, Chorzów, and Cardiff—returning for the first time in over a decade. Additional single shows will be held in Bucharest, Zurich, Berlin, Bologna, and Glasgow.

These unique stops are your one chance to experience the M72 stage in these cities.
