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.
