Metallica has confirmed that its record-breaking M72 World Tour will be extended into its fourth year with the announcement of 16 shows in Europe and the UK spanning May, June and July 2026.
Metallica is set to perform in Bucharest on May 13, 2026, delivering a spectacular show bringing the tour’s full production, with its massive in-the-round stage positioned at the center of the National Arena’s field. The concert will be supported by special guests Gojira and Knocked Loose.
Tickets will go on sale Friday, May 30, at 10:00 AM, with fan club pre-sales beginning on May 27 at 11:00 AM.

Since opening April 2023 in Amsterdam, M72 has seen Metallica play to some four million fans. Variously hailed as “an altogether life-affirming experience” (Billboard), "undeniably epic” (Metal Hammer), "a stone-cold stunner of a show” (Detroit News), "triumphant” (Kerrang!) and “as tight and furious as Metallica has sounded in ages” (Los Angeles Times), M72 continues to amaze fans and critics alike.
As always, a portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities via the band’s All Within My Hands foundation. Established in 2017 as a way to give back to communities that have supported Metallica over the years, All Within My Hands has raised over $20 million since inception – providing $11.4 million in grants to career and technical education programs including the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its seventh year, over $7.4 million to combat food insecurity, more than $4.7 million to disaster relief efforts.
