Metallica unveils setlist for M72 World Tour – Music Feeds
Metallica fans eagerly await the setlist for their upcoming M72 World Tour that will span from October 2025 to July 2026. The tour kicked off with a performance at the Chase Center in San Francisco on October 15 for the Dreamfest concert, giving us a glimpse into what the band has in store for the rest of their journey. Following this, Metallica is set to travel to Australia and New Zealand in November before making their way to the Middle East and Europe for the remainder of the tour. Here’s a breakdown of the songs expected to be played during Metallica’s M72 World Tour.
The setlist includes a mix of beloved classics and fan favorites. The concert opens with “The Ecstasy of Gold,” a haunting instrumental from composer Ennio Morricone’s work for “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” played from a tape to set the stage for the epic show. This transitions into electrifying performances of iconic hits like “Creeping Death,” “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and “Fuel,” getting the audience pumped up right from the start.
As the concert progresses, Metallica delves into emotional tracks like “The Memory Remains,” with the possibility of including “Fade to Black” for a poignant moment. The lineup also features heavy hitters like “The Unforgiven” and “Sad but True,” showcasing the band’s versatile musical range. The setlist continues with tracks such as “Wherever I May Roam,” “Nothing Else Matters,” and “Seek & Destroy,” keeping the energy high and the crowd engaged throughout the performance.
One of the highlights of the setlist is the powerful rendition of “One,” a fan-favorite known for its intense lyrics and intricate musical composition. As the concert nears its end, Metallica brings the house down with iconic tracks like “Master of Puppets” and a climactic finish with “Enter Sandman,” leaving the audience electrified and craving more.
While the core setlist remains consistent, there may be variations in the middle sections of the lineup as the tour progresses, offering fans a unique experience at each show. It’s worth noting that Metallica’s performance at Dreamfest 2025 in San Francisco was a charitable event for the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, indicating the possibility of an extended setlist for concerts in other locations.
In addition to their tour, Metallica treated fans to a special release earlier in 2025 with a remastered “Load” box set featuring over 240 unreleased tracks, further cementing their status as legends of rock music. With a mix of classic hits and new offerings, Metallica’s M72 World Tour promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide. Stay tuned for more updates as the tour unfolds and Metallica continues to rock audiences around the globe.
