Metal legends Metallica have this morning teased a New Zealand concert announcement for 2025.
The band’s highly anticipated 2019 NZ tour was cancelled after lead singer James Hetfield checked into an addiction recovery programme just over a month out from the scheduled shows.
Metallica announced a 2025 North America tour on their official site overnight.
“North America is not our only stop in 2025, as this year, we will return to Australia and New Zealand after far too long away!!!
“Stay tuned for the full announcement coming VERY soon,” the band teased at the end of the announcement.
The latest shows are an extension of the group’s M72 No Repeat Weekend Tour.
“The No Repeat Weekend tradition continues with each of the two shows offering a completely unique experience: two totally different set lists with two different bands opening each night! Purchase a 2-Day Ticket, and you won’t see the same song twice across both setlists spanning our 40+ years of being lucky enough to make music.
“We’ll be sure to have lots of extracurricular events planned for you to hang with fellow Metallica fans on the night between shows.”
It’s unclear if the teased New Zealand and Australia shows will have the same two show no repeat formula if they go ahead.
