Metallica will play two shows at the Aviva Stadium next summer as part of their M72 World Tour.
The two gigs on June 19th and 21st will have separate set lists and different guests on both nights. They are part of what the band has described as No Repeat Weekends.
Metallica have been promoting their album 72 Seasons since its release in 2023.
Support on M72’s European/UK run will come from Gojira, Pantera, Knocked Loose and Avatar.

A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation.
It has provided $11.4 million (€10 million) in grants to career and technical education programs, €6.5 million to combat food insecurity and €4.2 million to disaster relief efforts.
Metallica last played Ireland in June 2019 as part of the WorldWired Tour. That show at Slane Castle was sold out.
Tickets for the Aviva Stadium are being sold on a two-night basis. Two-night tickets will cost from €121.25 to €261.25, subject to Ticketmaster charges.
