Metallica tour dates 2026-2027

How the dates are laid out

The Sphere shows run in pairs, on Thursday and Saturday of the same week, always at 8:30 pm local time. Ticketmaster sells a 2-Day Ticket for each pair that cannot be split, as well as single-night tickets and suite reservations, so check which one you are buying.

The two Mohegan Sun nights, on Thursday 19 and Saturday 21 November 2026, are the only shows outside Las Vegas this year. They also have a 2-Day Ticket option.

The M72 stadium leg starts at BC Place in Vancouver on 8 May 2027 and ends at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on 19 June 2027. It is the only part of this run outside a residency, and the only one in Canada.

How to get Metallica tickets

• Every date on this page is on sale through Ticketmaster. Use the link on each row or the artist page.
• At Sphere, compare the single-night price with the 2-Day Ticket before paying: the pair only makes sense if you want both nights.
• Avoid resale above face value. For stadium tours it is where most invalid tickets turn up.
