M72 No Repeat Weekend: What to Expect

With different bands opening each night, the festival creates a fresh and engaging atmosphere for concert-goers.

“Seeing fans from far corners of the planet connecting with other ’Tallica family members and creating a full weekend experience together has been more than we ever dreamed it would be,” said Metallica in a statement. “There’s no doubt that we need to extend this party into 2025!”

The festival will not only mark the start of the 2025 M72 tour but also celebrate the band’s Bay Area homecoming, with a special stop at Levi’s Stadium later in the year.

2025 M72 Tour: The No Repeat Weekend Continues!

The M72 World Tour is set to extend its electrifying legacy into 2025! With two years of unmatched musical experiences and unforgettable moments in the rearview, Metallica is gearing up to keep the energy alive. The No Repeat Weekend format, which has captivated fans since its debut, will make its return across North America, with 21 stadium shows planned between April and June. Whether you’ve experienced the in-the-round stadium production before or are a first-timer, you’re in for an unparalleled 360° view of rock’s most iconic performances.

A Truly Unique Concert Experience

The No Repeat Weekend tradition has become a fan-favorite for good reason. Each city on the tour will see two back-to-back shows, and true to the name, no song will be repeated across the nights. This means that every 2-Day Ticket grants access to two completely distinct setlists. With over 40 years of music history to pull from, no two nights will ever be the same.

Adding to the magic are two different bands opening each night, creating a truly diverse lineup. Returning M72 veterans, Pantera and Ice Nine Kills, will bring their energy to the stage, while Limp Bizkit and Suicidal Tendencies, long-time friends of the band, will also be joining the tour.

Additionally, M72 will feature some single-show highlights, including stadium appearances at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY and Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, VA, home to the Virginia Tech Hokies. This show will be a particularly special moment, as “Enter Sandman” has been the Hokies’ entrance anthem for over 20 years.

1. April 12: Sick New World Festival at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds.
