Metallica Announce First Australian Headline Stadium Tour

Metallica · Photo: Courtesy of Live Nation

If you're a metal fan ... Nothing Else Matters.

Words by Nick Buckley · 08 Mar 2019

Heavy metal titans Metallica have just announced a national tour. It will be the band's first headline stadium tour and first time playing in Australia since 2013.

Metallica is currently on its WorldWired Tour – it's played more than 130 shows since the tour began in 2016.

Despite the hilarious inter-band bickering , raging egos, Lars Ulrich's drumming and Lulu , the album the band made with Lou Reed (that is either an avant-garde masterpiece or the worst album ever recorded) – it's hard to deny the raw power of classics like Enter Sandman , Seek & Destroy and For Whom the Bell Tolls .

Each ticket purchased comes with a copy of the band’s newest album, Hardwired…To Self-Destruct .

The band will be supported by masked loose units Slipknot.

Saddle up and Ride the Lightning when Metallica tours Australia in October.

General tickets go on sale Monday, March 18 at 3pm in Sydney and 2pm (local time) in all other cities. Tickets and pre-sale information here .

Tour dates: Perth October 17 – Optus Stadium

Adelaide October 20 – Adelaide Oval

Melbourne October 22 – Marvel Stadium

Sydney October 26 – ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park

Brisbane October 29 – QSAC, Mount Gravatt

Metallica is an American heavy metal band from California, US. Formed in 1981, Metallica is considered to be one of the founding bands of thrash metal.

The band was formed after the various members answered a newspaper advertisement placed by drummer Lars Ulrich who was looking for people to jam with. Metallica quickly gained a following from its many gigs in the Los Angeles music scene as its new thrash metal sound picked up increasing numbers of followers.

Metallica’s first three studio albums, Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets, did increasingly well on the US album charts, and eventually, each of these albums would be certified platinum. The band toured frequently in the US and Europe, playing to tens of thousands of fans at a time. Its constant touring resulted in rising popularity throughout the late ’80s.

In 1986, tragedy struck when the band’s tour bus crashed in Sweden and bassist Cliff Burton was killed. After debating whether to continue making music, the band received the blessing of Burton’s family and went on to record its next album …And Justice For All. The release of this album in 1988 saw the band attain its biggest success yet as the album charted at number six in the US and number four in the UK; Metallica also received its first Grammy Award nomination.

The commercial success of the album turned Metallica members into living legends. Each of its subsequent five albums hit the number one spot in the US and has been certified platinum. Tracks such as “Enter Sandman” and “Turn the Page” have become legendary in their own right and have inspired legions of artists.

In 1991, Metallica released its fifth album, self-titled Metallica. Today, this album is recognized as one of the band’s first albums to appeal to a larger mainstream audience with less focus on its traditional thrash metal sound. This album wound up selling over 16 million copies in the US alone.

After this album, Metallica continued to release albums that explored new genres and styles. During the next few years, the band would go on to release Binge & Purge, Load, Reload, Garage, S&M, and St. Anger. Then, in 2008, Metallica returned to its earlier sound with the release of Death Magnetic. This album returned to the band’s metal trash roots and debuted at number one in the US. The album quickly climbed the charts globally, reaching number one on both the Billboard 200 and the European album charts. In addition, this became the fastest-selling album of the year in Australia.

After this, Metallic continued to release albums in the same vein as its original sound, releasing its tenth studio album Hardwired…to Self-Destruct in 2016. This album was released via the band’s own record label, Blackened Recordings. The album’s single “Hardwired” went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 charts.

Now the band’s eleventh studio album 72 Seasons is set to be released in April of 2023. In anticipation of the release of its newest album, the band released the single “Lux Æterna” in November 2022.

Metallica has won an impressive nine Grammy Awards and three MTV VMA awards. Its style is influenced by bands such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Aerosmith, but Metallica itself has gone on to be one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, selling more than 120 million records worldwide.

For those who are looking forward to seeing Metallica live at any of its shows, the band delivers an incredible live experience. Fans flock to stadiums, festivals, and concert halls to watch the group perform dozens of songs spanning its extensive discography. Over the years, Metallica has played over 2,000 shows, traveling to every populated continent in the world. What started out as a small movement in California, has spread globally, earning the group an incredible following of metal fans from countries virtually everywhere.

Metallica’s adrenaline-filled shows aren’t for those who wish to sit back and relax. The band members all deliver their own bold energy to the stage, and the crowd follows suit. Most Metallica shows involve fan interaction, with concert attendees singing, clapping, jumping, and thrashing along to the music. In addition to the incredible power that the band brings to the stage during a show, the audio and visual effects are also second to none. Metallica is known for playing a loud concert, where every beat of the drum, every strum of the bass, and every lyric is felt from head to toe.

Live reviews

A most memorable night as the boys set out to open the new Royal Arena with a bang. And that they did!

From the opening of Hardwired it was clear they were here and they meant business! The most in-your-face opening of a Metallica gig I have ever witnessed. While there were a few noticeable "hiccups" in James' voice it was, to my ears, nothing major. But evidently it prooved to be just that.

James told us he and a few of the others weren't feeling well and about 30 minutes into the show he had a talk with Lars, center-stage, and at this point most of us looked at each-other and thought, "Uh-oh. Something's up. They're gonna cancel..."

James adressed the crowd, saying the band weren't sounding good and that he hated giving us a bad show. He wanted to stop. He asked the crowd outright, if we wanted a make-up show later with Metallica in full force or if they should continue at half mast. The crowd roared a reassuring and supportive "No!" - meaning: It's OK, James. We are here for you. We want you to battle on. We can do this together.

He laughed warmly, thanked the crowd for our support and said, "You asked for it".

They reorganized, changed the set-list and came out again and this time it seemed there was more energy in their performance. They were out to proove that they could do this, illness be damned! And as James asked for the crowds help in singing the lyrics, it didn't feel like all the other times he had done so. This was special. For once, you actually felt as if you were helping James, helping the band, through this ordeal. Together. And it felt mighty good. Sometimes this whole "Metallica-family"-thing gets a bit worn-out and cliché, at least for me. But in that moment I felt it. The kinship. The coming together. And that was a mighty thing. A mighty good thing.

The band soldiered on, ripping into a mighty version of Fade to Black, that hit home a bit more than it used to.

Yes, there was an incident with Kirk during the intro, first missing his cue and then playing false notes, but not one of the critics questioned why. Just prior to Fade Kirk had done a solo thrasing his guitar around. For Fade he was then given another guitar, but the receiver on it cut out leaving him muted. They quickly gave him another guitar, the same he'd used for the solo, which was not tuned to Fade thus producing false notes. He finished the intro and they quickly changed guitars again, this time with a working receiver and in-tune.

It's ok to criticize if the criticism is justified. Factless criticism is just whining.

So they battled on raising the roof with a feroscious rendition of Seek and Destroy and the most pummeling version of Battery I've ever heard. Absolutely blistering.

And closing out with Sandman with the crowd in full roar was just perfect.

It was a truly memorable concert both performance and set-wise. Oh, and they even included Harvester of Sorrow which was a very nice surprise for me.

The stage was beautiful with a built-in screen. And a screen in the ceiling as well. Epic and beautiful.

A memorable night I won't forget as long as I live. As a fan, they did me proud with this one. I just hope James recovers and regains his strenght once again.

Hetfield, rise!

The impatient wait had been going on for months - I booked this show when tickets went on sale back in March or whenever it was, and October had take so long to come around - but finally it was here: Metallica day!

The day started with a trip to the pop-up merch store in London, then onto the O2 for an agonising queue (good thing it's what us Brits do best, apart from moan about it of course) before finally getting in and finding my seat - which, by pure luck, was a superb view. Again, what felt like days, but in reality was only 30-40 mins wait, the lights dimmed, the background music shut off, and the familiar notes of the intro track, "The Ecstasy of Gold", complete with video footage from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", began to ring out, to rapturous roaring and whistling from the 20,000 strong crowd. The hairs on my arms are standing on end just recounting it for this review. And then we were in: full-bore, 100mph, Metallica took to the stage and belted out song after song after song with barely a moment to catch your breath before the next does of thrash metal came your way. "Thrash metal?", I hear you say, "Metallica hasn't been thrash metal since the 80's!". Oh my friend, trust me when I say thrash metal - we had some of the best early work represented tonight, not least with half a dozen track from the new album "Hardwired... To Self Destruct" that included unrelenting riff after riff, from the likes of "Hardwired", "Atlas Rise", "Moth Into Flame", coupled with one of the heaviest tracks they've ever written "Dream No More", plus "Halo on Fire" and "Now That We're Dead". All segmented in-between some of the bands greatest songs; "Seek & Destroy", "Through The Never", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "Through The Never", "One", "Sad But True", "Fuel", the obligatory cover, this time from the Misfits' "Die Die My Darling", before ending the show with "Master of Puppets".

Of course, it wasn't the end - back for the encore the intro to "Damage Inc" came on, before they ripped all the way through it, eventually slowing the pace to play the ever-loved "Nothing Else Matters" and finally ending on probably their most well known song "Enter Sandman"

It was a great varied selection of tunes that spans most of their career - the only notable exceptions being there was nothing from "Load", "St Anger" or the previous record "Death Magnetic". But otherwise all the other studio albums were represented. Some guitar and bass doodles from Kirk and Rob, before Rob gave us a wonderful tribute to Cliff by playing "Anesthesia".

If you get the chance to go, then go see this show - it's truly magnificent, from a band with 36 years experience in being the biggest metal band on the planet, and it shows you just why they are. I just wish I had a ticket for tomorrow night too.

We went to a concert in Toronto to see; Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold, and the show I have been waiting my life to see; Metallica. They all sported the Blue Jays jersey with their names at some point and thanking them for the gifts. The show had a Dj mixing up songs before/between acts from groups like Beastie Boys to Black Sabbath. Volbeat and avenged Sevenfold were great acts my first seeing all. My 16yr old is really into Avenged Sevenfold and was not disapointed. (end of grade 10 present). Volbeat i have heard in passing once and will do my best to spread the word about them.Glad i made it there in time to catch Volbeat if you ever have a chance make sure you catch them! Avenged Sevenfold was everything my 16 year old had told me. Those who missed them may be may be able to catch them soon as they alluded to coming back. They make me glad that metal is carring on to the younger generation these days. "We love Canada, we love you guys you're so nice and you always get us @#$!*&-up!" They were amazed that as Canadians when he made reference to the flag from another country someone was holding up we cheered not booed "cause thats just how nice you all are!"Finally but not least in any way Metallica.First of all their pyrotechniques were amazing boasting two small hot air ballons above them. The stage was set up so everyone had a good view and sported large screens for those further back to follow the rifts as well. At one point they were all on drums together each sporting their own.James Hetfield after noticing a young 8 yr old in the audience made reference to the"...Metallica family, young, 'medium' and old." They played flawlessly and didnt disapoint their fans. My 16 year old was excited to see Metallica and who influenced not only her Mom and friends but the music yet to come out. The screens showed videos like clips from "the unforgiven" to lead up the one of the many big hit songs. The encore was what i was waiting for...the two songs my friends and I have been singing since grade school. What a great venue; no big line up for anything but marchandise. Thanks to all who made the show work:-)

Metallica@RoyalArena03feb2017

Overall it was great. A blast of a concert! What wasn't so great mostly has to do with inexperience among staff of the arena itself, and the fact that it was premiere night on a brand new untried venue. Plus the tech geeks victory over common sense in arena design.

There was trouble with wi-fi connections, which initially meant doors opened 10-20minutes late due to ticket validation.(whiplash experience)

Bar staff initially unaware of validity of drink tickets (VIP-bracelet)

Understaffed bar and merchandise shop in lounge area.

Lounge area cramped. The room could have been 3 times the size to comfortably hold that many people. This was only a problem until early access was given to GA floor, as many went in at that time.

Luggage handling/storage at Royal Arena is a total disaster. There were no oversized lockers. People had to be in possession of an IOS or Android smartphone (not windows compatible) with mobile pay on it, which excludes 10-25% of Danish concertgoers and 100% of foreigners. Redo ASAP! Loose codes and an arena tech was assigned to deal with the issue analogous, but it was too little too late, and will be a reoccurring issue in the future.

Those were - except for luggage - all minor things, and this review has to end on a very positive note with a great shoutout to the crew at CID entertainment for going the full mile to make everyone as comfortable as possible and making everything work on the fly. Thanks guys!

General arena design is also top shelf, and can endure LOUD bands to the extent that no other large scale arena in Denmark can follow. Thumbs up for that!

As for Metallica - James wasn't well. We could hear it; he told us himself too. The crowd wanted it to happen so bad, and it did. I only hope there has been no permanent health damage induced by playing the (almost) full show. Metallica delivers - every single f#$!ing time!

Electrifying as ever with their incredible performance and stage presence, the members of Metallica delivered the goods and more last night with a nice cross section of numbers running the gamut of their colossal catalog! There were occasional pauses to interact and converse with the crowd, but the band segued their way into one song after another the majority of the evening. The night opened up with an intro of the Ecstasy of Gold followed by the title cut off of the band's latest effort Hard Wired to Self Destruct. James Hetfield's vocals were as strong as ever from beginning to end. Kirk Hammett engaged in one brain crushing guitar solo after another, Lars Ulrich brought a great and almost nonstop back beat with his furious drumming and Rob Trujillo provided excellent bass work including a great treatment of the solo the late Cliff Burton was well known for on Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth). During the aforementioned bass solo video footage of Burton performing onstage accented the music perfectly. Other exceptional highlights included Kirk's stellar guitar shredding accompanied frequently by usage of his wah pedal. Cuts such as Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Creeping Death and the encore Enter Sandman in particular contained solos showcasing his seemingly boundless talent! Things heated up literally as well during the songs Fight Fire with Fire and Sandman when pyrotechnics were activated and flames shot up from the stage. At the end Ulrich tossed sticks out into the audience. Hetfield, Trujillo and Hammett threw and shook picks from little jack o' lantern tins out into the crowd, the picks of which boasting the band logo as well as the theatre's location and concert date on them. Great souvenirs in even something so small right there as my husband and I each scooped one up off the floor! A grand night out, the next one of which cannot come soon enough!

2nd September show in Cobenhagen.

Tallica promised us a unique show because this concert was postponed show from February. Many people travel a long way to see them in February including me traveling from Iceland.

The moment when I heard Seek & Destory in the #3rd slot then I knew this was going to be something special.

They performed Thought The Never in slot #4 and that song has not been played for 4 years. The next song was The Day That Never Comes and we did not believe that because in our wildest dreams we hoped to have that on the list, we jumped like there was no day tomorrow.

Dream No More was in the slot #7 and that was the second time Metallica has played that song. It was nice to hear Breadfan in slot #10. We saw many drons flying over the stage in Moth Into Flame, which was amazing!

Fight Fire With Fire was in the encore faster than ever.

Me and my friends walked away from Royal Arena in great mood with a big smile on our faces and with a hoarse throut, like James was in February.

About the unique show as we where promised in February it was only UNIQUE for 2 days because Amsterdam got almost the same setlist. But we got a free T-shirt, that was probably the unique thing for us.

We where hoping for some live debut like Murder One, Spit Out The Bones but it did not happend.

The song ManUnkind was performed tonight in Paris (10th September) and that is unique.

Iceland has been waiting since 2004 for Metallica to come back to Iceland when they held the biggest indore concert in Reykjavík. We do not want to wait another 23 years like we did before 2004.

All the best,

Gauti Sigurpálsson

Over 10 years, I got to see Metallica 7 times and each experience was in a different country. I have to admit the venues look different and incorporate a new way to watch the band but the musical vibe remains intact. They have shaped into an incredibly professional and hard-working live band. We can argue about and discuss their new album materials but one thing is guaranteed with Metallica: you will get only the best from their live performance. If you have not seen them live, just go to one gig. Doesnt matter if you are not a metal fan because the experience they deliver is incredible. I have seen families at their shows and even people who do not understand nor appreciate metal, but they all seemed to be excited from what they were witnessing. The only pity with Metallica is that you will most likely never have the chance to see them in a small venue. They are just too big of a band in demand and only deliver in large outdoor festivals or stadiums.

This summer they had a new style of set list where people could request via voting for songs. The top songs define the set list and this gives a chance for people to vote for what they want to hear. The only unfortunate thing about all this is that people are voting for songs they already play each tour. People should vote to get them to play new songs from their past, which they havent performed over 20 years. I was in Helsinki (their first European gig for 2014) and they had to play "The Frayed Ends of Insanity" and it was ecstatic. \m/

Do you like your rock shows huge, loud & engaging? Do you like stage sets that fill entire arena floors, filled with gigantic set pieces & enough pyro to blow up a small country? Do you like singing along to tightly played, iconic songs for 2-3 hours with thousands of friends? If yes, Metallica are your guys.

Each show starts when The Ecstasy of Gold (theme song from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) plays over the PA, and crowd anticipation hits a fever pitch with thousands shouting along with the melody. Just thinking about the opening gives me goosebumps. Once Ecstasy hits its crescendo, they hit the stage like a thunderbolt, hammering through their lineup of classic tunes to a screaming, fist pumping, metal-sign-throwing crowd. Grizzled metal fans join together with legions of kids (oftentimes their own kids), shouting out every word of every song, and even singing along with guitar solos & melodies. Their set list varies each night. There are standards that they have to play, and you'll of course hear plenty of their big songs such as Enter Sandman and Master of Puppets. But they mix things up extremely well and no two nights are ever quite the same. It's amazing to me that after 30+ years and thousands of shows, the guys in the band still love mixing things up, still love goofing around on stage, still love engaging with the crowd, and obviously just love playing live & generating crazy crowd energy.

Quite simply, they are the kings of arena metal. Bow to the kings!

May 17, 2017 Nassau Coliseum

This was the first time I have been to a Metallica show. James has the best personality on stage. He gets the entire crowd into the show; into the mood; very laid back style. I like the fact the guys walk around the stage from different angles so that no matter where you sit, you can take excellent photos of them; that I have to give credit for that they do think of the fans in that aspect. The special effects were beautiful and showed in my pictures with my camera. James is very considerate of the fans from all aspects, you have to be in the Metallica Family...and you have to sing along with them...you just have to...the band played all the hit songs from present to past, no complaints. Saved the best song for last...Sandman....The sound system was excellent all around, no complaints. I am in still in shock; this was the best show I have ever seen in my life. They really have fun while playing they keep your interest up...James will not let the fans down..this band wants total audience participation...that is what to me, really stole the show. they do love and appreciate the fans....that is what stuck with me the most for a 1st time live performance is they really care about the fans..that really impressed me...

It was my first time in Turkey. From São Paulo to Istanbul I needed to take a 12-hour flight. 12 hours and 5 days. The necessary time to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city before finally seeing one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen! For me the concert had started when I met another crazy fan at the metro stations, going to Istanbul Technical University Stadium. So, after a few minutes, I was there. And I was able to see the power Metallica have to gather so many people from many countries. Lebanon, Kazakistan, Iran. Like me, a Brazilian guy. I admit I have not known the opening band, Pentagram. But the sound those guys had played left me so surprised. What an awesome performance! I had felt the emotion of being part of a rock concert when people started to sing the lyrics. Two hours later, time has come. Metallica by Request. The last European tour concert. The moment to listen the powerful voice of James Hetfield, the aggressive way to perform his guitar riffs, and all the greatest Metallica classical musics in front of me. In front of thousands of fans. Starting the concert playing "Master of Puppets" had been their way to say: Enjoy the best concert of your lives! Long live Metallica! Horns up! \m/

Metallica To Broadcast ‘M72’ Concert Live In Australian Cinemas

The “two night event” will be streamed live from the Arlington, Texas dates of band’s ongoing world tour.

Metallica (Credit: Tim Saccenti)

Metallica have announced a run of Australian screenings for an ambitious two-part concert film, which they plan to broadcast “live” from their performance in Arlington, Texas next month.

The band will perform over two nights at Arlington’s AT&T arena, delivering completely unique sets on Friday August 18 and Sunday 20. Both shows will be captured on film, mixed and edited in realtime, and then beamed direct to cinemas around the world as the convolutedly titled Metallica: M72 World Tour Live From Arlington, TX – A Two Night Event .

It’ll be a live broadcast for viewers in the US and some territories where the timezones align, however those of us in Australia will catch each show’s recording a few hours after they end. The first show will reach Australian cinemas on Saturday August 19, with sessions on at 5:30pm and 9:00pm AEST. Following the same formula, the second show will screen on Monday August 21. A full list of participating cinemas can be found here .

You can see a trailer for the event below:

As the title implies, these Arlington shows come as part of Metallica’s ongoing world tour in support of 72 Seasons , their 11th studio album, which arrived back in April and promptly topped the ARIA Charts . The record itself was also streamed in cinemas as part of a worldwide premiere event.

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

In a glowing review of the album, Kristen S. Hé wrote: “Four decades after they kicked the doors down in their early twenties with Kill ’Em All , Metallica have come full circle in a way that no one could have predicted. Lyrically, 72 Seasons is about how the struggles of one’s first 18 years can reverberate into adulthood. But musically, it’s about reconnecting with their earliest influences and finding new meaning in them once again - with no interest in simply recapturing past glories.”

Meanwhile, Metallica recently announced the production of a new documentary on their superfans, with a public casting call issued earlier this month.

BREAKING: Is An Australian/New Zealand Metallica Tour Coming in December 2022?

Posted on October 30, 2022 by Paul 'Browny' Brown

UPDATE November 1st : I reached out to Metricon Stadium, who told me they weren’t aware of Metallica being at their venue. They asked where the information was ( Pollstar website) and left it at that. I would say this is debunked, but, I’ll keep an eye out regardless.

This is currently taking my Sunday night attention away from the TV, but it seems as if a Metallica Australian/New Zealand Tour is set to be announced for December 2022 … Normally I’d laugh and say they need more time, but this is Metallica we’re talking about. However, there are a couple of contradictions that may indicate it’s not happing but could be coming at a later date… And since my prediction about their last (ill-fated) 2019 tour was actually right in the end , I’ma go for 2/2 with this band.

I’m semi-familiar with the website allevents.in/ – they’re like a new version of bands-in-town , a directory website/reference to upcoming shows/tours in or around your local area. That’s where these shows are currently listed. See the reference below:

It has the band touring Australia and New Zealand with the following dates from commencement:

Australian Dates

December 10 @ Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney NSW December 11 @ Optus Stadium, Fremantle WA* December 13 @ Entertainment Centre, Brisbane QLD December 15 @ MCG, Melbourne VIC

December 27 @ Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast QLD

*Optus Stadium is in Perth not Freo!

New Zealand

December 17 @ Eden Park Stadium, Auckland NZ December 20 @ Sky Stadium, Wellington NZ December 22 @ Orangetheory Stadium, Christchurch NZ December 24 @ Forsyth Barr Stadium, Dunedin NZ

Obviously the glaring omission is no show for Adelaide, but to the untrained eye, these dates could match up.

That is until you realise the MCG has a cricket game on December 16th . The question stumping both KJ Draven and I is, with a league of stagehand teams involved, could you pack down a Metallica MCG show, (stages, scaffolding and all the additional bits) overnight ready for gameplay the next day?

I’m not a cricket fan, but even that sounds like a challenge.

The other factor on that though, could be the game being delayed or moved to another city to accommodate the Metallica tour, but, once again, I’m not a cricket fan and dunno the logistics involved with doing that.

The page set up for the show is written/drafted like your typical official event, with information such as:

Similar shows/dates: You may also like the following events from Metallicafans :

This December, 10th December, 07:00 pm,  Metallica | Sydney, Qudos Bank Arena in Marrickville

This December, 11th December, 11:00 am,  Metallica – Live in Perth in Online

The simplistic synopsis has me erring on the side of caution, as it’s not exactly what I’d write (could be put together by a suit), but it could also be a simple placeholder statement for someone to come back and fix later. Considering the fact Metallica also have a show lined up for December 16 2022 in LA (thanks to the WoS readers for pointing this out), I don’t see them doing a full tour here in December of this year. 

In this case, that could mean 2023 for the December dates advertised. 

American heavy metal band phenomenon Metallica on their biggest ever tour of Australia – 2022.

But, another source has been passed onto us which indicates that Metricon Stadium, the venue for the Gold Coast show, is set to undergo a name change according to website Pollstar.  They say Metallica will be playing the Stadium alongside currently announced shows:

Guns N’ Roses play there Nov. 24, followed by Festival X Nov. 27; Metallica, Dec. 27; and Harry Styles, Feb. 28.

The plot thickens…

As with everything with these kinds of articles, take it with a grain of salt.  The dates look to be submitted also by a group called Metallicafans , who may have got access to early dates and submitted them online. It happens, but it could also be someone wanting to have a laugh… to which I say, just make a fake tour poster bro, it’s less work.

As with everything, we’ll keep you posted on this and see if it goes anywhere.

Help spread the word!

“Nobody can stop me.” The Brian Jonestown Massacre share UK and Europe tour plans

San Francisco psych-rock band The Brian Jonestown Massacre reveal 2025 tour of the UK and Europea

The Brian Jonestown Massacre have announced plans to tour the UK and Europe early in 2025.

The San Francisco psych-rock band, famously the subject of the 2004 documentary Dig! , will play a brace of German shows, and a show in Holland in January, before embarking on an extensive tour of the UK and Ireland in February.

The group's most recent, and 20th, album, The Future Is Your Past , was released in February last year.

Bandleader Anton Newcombe says, “Nobody can stop me, I’m not asking somebody, I’m not making the rounds at Warners, saying, ‘Please put out my record!’. It’s just for me.” “I would love to see more groups, people playing music in the UK and everywhere else because I really enjoy it. That’s the only reason I need. It’s the only reason to do stuff.”

The Brian Jonestown Massacre UK / Europe tour 2025:

Jan 28: Hamburg, Fabrik, Germany Jan 29: Cologne, Die Kantine, Germany Jan 30: Tilburg 013 Poppodium, Holland Feb 01: Bexhill De La Warr Pavilion, UK Feb 02: Bristol Marble Factory, UK Feb 04: Nottingham Rock City, UK Feb 06: Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom, UK Feb 07: Liverpool Olympia, UK Feb 08: Leeds Beckett University Union, UK Feb 09: Newcastle Upon Tyne NX, UK Feb 11: Belfast Ulster Hall, UK Feb 12: Dublin, 3Olympia Theatre, Ireland Feb 14: Manchester Albert Hall, UK Feb 15: Southampton Guildhall, UK Feb 16: London O2 Academy Brixton, UK Feb 18: Birmingham O2 Institute, UK Feb 19: Brighton Dome, UK Feb 20: Cardiff University Great Hall, UK

Last year, a Brian Jonestown Massacre show at the Forum in Melbourne, Australia, was cut short after just six songs after Anton   Newcombe became embroiled in a violent altercation with guitarist Ryan Van Kriedt. Their scheduled performances in Castlemaine and Northcote were subsequently cancelled “on medical grounds.”

EE North America (US / CAN) – [email protected] , EE Mexico – [email protected] , EE Europe – [email protected] .

I am a Fifth Member. How do I access the presale? How do I get a code? All Fan Club members need to request a personal presale ticket code . Your code will be e-mailed to the address in your profile and will also appear on your Fifth Member profile page.

Each code is good for purchasing up to four tickets per show.

For more information or to sign up to join the fan club, please visit metallica.com .

For member inquiries, complete the form at metallica.com/contactus .

How many tickets can I buy for each city? Presales are limited to four tickets per fan per city. The general sale beginning January 20 is limited to six tickets per person, with a few exceptions.

I do not live in the same country where I would like to attend a show(s). Can I still purchase tickets? Yes, in most cases, you should have no issues purchasing tickets outside of your home country. You may want to confirm with your credit card company before the on-sales.

I see there are two shows in the same city in one weekend. What’s the deal? Each city will be a no-repeat weekend! Metallica will play two completely different setlists each night, with two other opening acts for each show.

If I purchase a two-day ticket, will I be in the same location each night? Yes, each ticket allowing entry to the two shows will be in the same location, whether the same seat or standing area. For example, if you have selected General Admission standing, you will be in General Admission standing for both shows. If you have assigned seats, you will sit in the same seat each night.

What are the Enhanced Experience packages? Enhanced Experiences are available for all shows, with five levels to choose from. Offerings include a backstage meet & greet with band members, production and stage tours, Snake Pit passes & early access to the GA floor. For more details, click here: Enhanced Experiences .

Can I buy an Enhanced Experience package for a single day? Starting January 16, all Enhanced Experience tiers EXCEPT the “Nothing Else Matters” Snake Pit Experience will ONLY be available as single-show packages. The “Nothing Else Matters” Snake Pit Experience, which includes access to a meet & greet and production & stage tour, will remain exclusively a two-show experience and will NOT be made available for single-day purchase.

Will there be hotel/travel packages available for these shows? No, there are no officially approved travel or hotel packages available for this tour.

Is the band playing in the round? What does this mean? Yes, for the first time on a stadium tour, the stage will be in the center of the field, like many of you have seen in arenas. Fans can see the band from any point in the stadium.

What is the “Snake Pit?” The famed Snake Pit will be in the center of the stage on this tour! Being in the Snake Pit makes you a part of the show and is the closest place to the stage to see the band. All tickets for the Snake Pit are standing tickets.

How can I buy a Snake Pit ticket? Snake Pit tickets are currently sold out. However, some of the Enhanced Experience packages do include Snake Pit tickets.

What is an “I Disappear” Ticket, and how can I buy one? Formerly known as the “Black Laminate,” the “I Disappear” Ticket gives you access to Metallica shows in multiple cities across the M72 2023/2024 stadium tour. Several options are available depending on how many shows you would like to attend and where they are. “I Disappear” Tickets are available only via the Enhanced Experiences website. The “I Disappear” Ticket does NOT allow entry to festivals, benefits, or other shows that are not Metallica headlining dates. One example of that exclusion would be the Download Festival in June of 2023. I Disappear Tickets will not be transferrable.

Who will the support acts be? Each night of the weekend will have different support acts and will vary depending on which shows you are attending. Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills will join the band for one show on all weekends around the world, with Mammoth WVH also joining the entire tour for the other night. Architects will also be playing the shows in Europe; Pantera in North America and Greta Van Fleet in Mexico City. There are a few exceptions, so check your show weekend on the tour page at Metallica.com .

Is the show suitable for children? This is at the discretion of parents/guardians. Explicit language may be used during the performance.

How and when will I receive my tickets? Depending on the options available for your city, show tickets are either issued as mobile tickets or PDFs sent via e-mail. You may not be able to view or download your tickets until closer to the event. Check your confirmation email or Ticketmaster account for further details.

How can I give my tickets to a friend or family? You can transfer tickets directly from your Ticketmaster account closer to the event date. Enhanced Experiences and I Disappear Tickets will not be transferable.

Can I sell or transfer just one of my two-day tickets? No, you may only transfer both tickets to both shows; it is impossible to transfer a single-day ticket if you have purchased a two-day ticket. Please note that transfer may not be available in some countries until a later date. As a reminder, Enhanced Experiences and I Disappear Tickets will not be transferable. Contact your point of purchase for more information.

I bought a two-day ticket but changed my mind and only want to go for one day. What are my options? If you bought a two-day ticket, you may opt to transfer your ticket, but please note that your ticket may only be transferred as a two-day ticket. Selling/transferring one ticket by itself will void the other as they are tied together. Limited single-day tickets will be available on January 20, 2023.

How can I resell my ticket? If you can no longer attend the show, tickets may only be re-sold via Ticketmaster’s authorized fan-to-fan resale platform. Go into your account on Ticketmaster and opt to resell. Please note that resale options may not be available until a later date, depending on your country. Check your local Ticketmaster site for more information.

Is there a bag policy at the venue? Bag policies vary from market to market. Please check your venue’s website for more information about their bag policies.

Is there any COVID protocol? Health and safety guidelines vary from market to market. Please check your venue’s website for more information about their policies.

Ladi6 Announces New Zealand Tour Dates

The tour will support her upcoming single “alofa,” which drops on her birthday, november 7.

Ladi6 has announced her ‘Alofa: The Heartbeat Tour’ in New Zealand for November 2024.

The tour will support her upcoming single “Alofa,” which drops on her birthday, November 7. It kicks off the following day in her hometown of Otautahi, Christchurch, and will then visit The Sawmill Cafe in Leigh on Saturday, November 9. Next, she’ll perform at Meow in Wellington on Thursday, November 14, followed by Catacombs in Dunedin on Friday, November 15. The tour will continue to Totara St in Mount Maunganui on Friday, November 29, and wrap up with The Others Way in Auckland on Saturday, November 30.

She’ll be joined by long-time collaborators and producers of “Alofa,” Brent ‘Parks’ Park-Tamati and Brandon ‘Bharu’ Haru.

Described as a vibrant blend of Kraftwerk-esque breakbeat synths, dreamy arpeggios, and soulful vibrations, “Alofa” explores self-love through the pain of relationship breakups.

“I wanted to create a song that expressed the devastation of relationship break ups while simultaneously creating an atmosphere of musical resonance that expresses a kind of joy and peace in the transition of knowing you did the best you could and that’s all you can hope for, and that is enough…you tried,” says Ladi6.

An iconic Aotearoa artist, Ladi6 is known for her hip hop roots as a founding member of Aotearoa’s first all-female hip hop crew, Sheelahroc. Her music draws on her experiences and Moana heritage, blending soul, pop, and electronica.
