Metallica has been the one band on the top of my bucket list to see for almost 30 years. I keep missing them every time they come on tour near Washington for one reason or another. Now it looks like I can finally cross them off the list because Metallica just announced a new special tour stopping in Seattle that I can't miss.

What is Special About This New Metallica Tour?

The tour is named the M72 World Tour. Every city on the tour has two shows, one on Friday and the second show on Sunday. Each show is completely unique and the shows are sold together as a package. Each night has different opening acts including Five Finger Death Punch, Pantera, Mammoth WVH, and Ice Nine Kills. It is possible to buy only one night but most tickets are being sold as a set.

When is Metallica Brining the M72 World Tour to Washington?

Washington State is lucky enough to get the only northwest show in Seattle at Lumen Field. The concerts are not until August 30 and September 1 of 2024, so you have to wait a while. You can see the full list of concert dates on the official Metallica website by clicking here. DO NOT WAIT to buy your tickets however or you might not be able to go. When are the tickets on sale?
