Rock and Roll Hall of Fame metal band, Metallica, have announced new dates for their M72 World Tour, including a stop in Charlotte on Saturday, May 31 at Bank of America Stadium. This will be the first time the nine-time Grammy Award-winning band will perform in Charlotte since 2018, and the first stadium show announced at Bank of America Stadium in 2025. They’ll be joined by recently reunited Texas metal outfit Pantera, and California thrash rockers Suicidal Tendencies.
Formed in the early ’80s in Los Angeles by guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, Metallica’s debut album released in 1983, Kill ‘Em All, helped define a new era in thrash metal, along with their subsequent releases, Ride the Lightning (1984) and Master of Puppets (1986). In 1991, the band garnered international acclaim with their self-titled release (often referred to as the Black Album), which included hits like “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” and “Nothing Else Matters,” selling over sixteen million copies, and topping the Billboard charts. They have sold over 125 million albums worldwide and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.
Fan club presales will start on Monday, September 23 at 10 a.m. with Citi card members and Verizon customers gaining access to presale tickets starting Tuesday, September 24 at 10 a.m. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Friday, September 27 at 10 a.m. and proceeds from every ticket will benefit local charities through Metallica’s All Within My Hands foundation, which has raised over $15 million to date for career education, food insecurity, and disaster relief efforts.
