Metallica announces a 12-date North American leg of its M72 World Tour for 2027. The dates include a run across the continent in a stadium format, with additional details on venues and routing provided by outlets covering the announcement.
Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Consequence all report that the tour’s support acts are Limp Bizkit and Avatar. Billboard specifies that the leg is set to begin on May 8 in Vancouver. Rolling Stone and Consequence describe the same pairing of support acts and characterize the outing as spanning North America, focusing less on the start date and more on the overall scope of the dates.
Across the coverage, outlets align on the number of shows (12) and the presence of Limp Bizkit and Avatar as supporting acts. The main differences are the emphasis placed on the kickoff date and location versus a broader description of the tour’s continental reach.
