The planet’s biggest thrash-metal band just announced the continuation of its electric M72 World Tour with the addition of 21 North American dates between May and the end of July, extending the legendary run into its third year. The 2025 dates include two Denver shows,
Metallica will take Empower Field at Mile High on June 27 and June 29. The pair of Colorado shows will be entirely different, too, as the group’s No Repeat Weekends tradition means that the set lists and openers change with each performance. For June 27, Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills are on the bill, while Pantera — which currently features touring guitarist Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne) and drummer Charlie Benante (Anthrax, Stormtroopers of Death) — and Suicidal Tendencies are slotted for the June 29 concert.

Good times, good cause
As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation. Established in 2017 as a way to give back to communities that have supported Metallica over the years, All Within My Hands has raised over $15 million in providing $8.2 million in grants to career and technical education programs, including the groundbreaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its sixth year; over $3.6 million to combat food insecurity; and more than $3.5 million to disaster relief efforts. Now, that’s metal.Since officially kicking off the M72 tour over in Amsterdam in April 2023, the same month Metallica released its eleventh studio album, 72 Seasons, the band has already played to nearly three million fans. Of course, that number is set to rise during the 2025 leg.
While 72 Seasons is being hailed as a return to form for the thrash originators, Metallica is always more than happy to dive into its legendary catalogue, regularly pulling from its 1980s heyday, the 1991 self-titled mainstream mega-hit (you know, The Black Album) and more modern bangers such as Death Magnetic (2008) to put together unrivaled set lists, further proving that Metallica is still the quintessential metal band...43 years and running.
So come on, jump in the fire!
