Metalica will bring M72 World Tour to Tampa's Raymond James Stadium next summer

After 15 years away, Metallica is coming back to Tampa. 

Metallica's M72 World Tour launched back in 2023, and now the nine-time Grammy Award winning metal outfit has added more dates, with Tampa in the mix next summer.

This morning, the group behind hits like "Enter Sandman" and "Fade to Black" added 21 more North American dates for the  M72 World Tour, and shared plans to bring their massive "in-the-round stage" to Tampa's Raymond James Stadium for two nights on Friday, June 6 and Sunday, June 8.

According to a press release, Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills will open for Metallica on June 6, while Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies will offer support on June 8.

The Tampa stops are the only Florida shows on the tour.

Select presale tickets for Metallica's Tampa concerts this June go on sale Sept. 23 at 10 a.m., while general admission tickets open on Sept. 27. Ticket prices have yet to be announced.
