M72 Extends Into 2025: Metallica No Repeat Weekend Returns for a Third Year

Metallica fans, get ready for another epic year! The M72 No Repeat Weekend tour is set to roll into 2025 with even more explosive shows, fresh locations, and unforgettable experiences. As the band wraps up the last four shows of summer in Mexico City, they’ve announced plans to continue the tour into its third year. The journey that began as an ambitious concept has turned into a global sensation, connecting fans from all corners of the world. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming 2025 leg of the M72 tour.

The Birth of a Tradition: No Repeat Weekend

The idea behind the No Repeat Weekend was simple but bold: offer two-night stays in different cities with completely unique setlists and opening bands for each show. This means if you’re attending both nights, you won’t hear the same song twice. What started as a few test runs at festivals and select shows back in 2021 has grown into a full-blown phenomenon. By 2023 and 2024, the tour had reached 22 different cities worldwide, with each stop evolving into a weekend-long celebration for fans. With such an enthusiastic response, it was a no-brainer for Metallica to extend the tour further into 2025.

“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. There’s no doubt that we need to extend this party into 2025!” — Metallica

2025 Tour Highlights

Metallica is set to kick off the third year of the M72 tour with 21 North American shows between April and June. The band will bring back the unique stadium production, complete with the in-the-round stage setup that features the Snake Pit at the center, allowing fans a 360-degree view of the performance.

• April to June 2025: 21 North American shows
• In-the-round stage setup: Snake Pit returns for an immersive experience
