How to get Metallica tickets as general sale goes live for M72 UK tour dates
Nothing else matters, Metallica is heading for the UK next year.
Last week, it was announced that legendary heavy metal band Metallica will be bringing their massive M72 world tour to the UK next summer.
This will see the tour extended into its fourth year, having originally kicked off in Amsterdam in 2023 to support the band's eleventh studio album, 72 Seasons.
So far, the tour has been played to over four million fans but has only stopped in the UK once at Donington Park's Download Festival, but that all changes in 2026.
For the UK and Ireland stint of their tour, Metallica will perform two nights in Dublin, followed by single shows in Glasgow and Cardiff, all before wrapping up with two nights at the London Stadium on 3rd and 5th July.
In another twist, the two-night shows are part of one mammoth gig dubbed: No Repeat Weekends. That means each night features an entirely different setlist and support line-up. In short, more Metallica than we could have dreamed of!
Here's how to get tickets today.

With demand increasing more rapidly than artists can keep up with, it’s harder than ever to get your hands on concert tickets, especially when it’s to see a band as iconic as Metallica.
One way to be in with a better chance of making it to the gig of the year is by opting for hospitality tickets. These VIP packages include a range of benefits, but, crucially, they’re in less demand than General Access tickets, giving you a far better chance of making your dream of seeing Metallica live come true.
Seat Unique are offering a range of hospitality tickets for Metallica’s Cardiff date and both London dates, which include benefits like private suites, food and drinks, and premium seating. Don’t miss out!
