METALLICA Reveal 2026 Europe and UK Tour Featuring PANTERA, GOJIRA, KNOCKED LOOSE, and AVATAR

Metallica will return to Europe and the UK in spring and summer 2026 for a new leg of their world tour supporting 72 Seasons. As with previous outings, each city will feature two unique setlists across two nights — no repeat songs, no repeat openers.

The lineup of supporting acts will rotate throughout the run, with appearances from Gojira, Knocked Loose, Pantera, and Avatar, depending on the date.

Members of Metallica’s fan club will get first access to tickets starting Tuesday, May 27th at 09:00am local time. Additional presales will follow throughout the week. General public tickets go on sale Friday, May 30th at 10:00am local time.

Single-day tickets for the two-night events in select cities will also be available beginning July 25th.

A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit local organizations through Metallica’s All Within My Hands foundation.
