Metallica has expanded its “M72” World Tour into May 2027 with additional dates, featuring a Vancouver show at BC Place on May 8.
The Story
Metallica is extending its “M72” World Tour into 2027 with a set of added dates announced ahead of the band’s upcoming residency period at the Las Vegas Sphere.
According to the tour update, the “M72” run will continue into the new year with concerts scheduled across the United States, including a stop in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The newly listed schedule includes a Vancouver performance on May 8, 2027, at BC Place, as part of a larger run of summer shows.
The announcement also places the update in the context of Metallica’s “M72” residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, which is described as running from October through March.
On the North American portion of the “M72” tour, Metallica is set to be joined by Limp Bizkit and Avatar, which the announcement identifies as the supporting acts for the run.
For Vancouver-area audiences planning ahead, the BC Place date will be one of several major-market stops during the same broader stretch, with the tour moving to U.S. cities shortly after the Canadian show.
The published schedule for the added 2027 shows lists dates and venues including San Diego’s Snapdragon Stadium on May 13 and El Paso’s Sun Bowl Stadium on May 15.
Other venues named in the same schedule include the Alamodome in San Antonio on May 22, RAZORBACK Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas on May 26, and Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on May 29.
The tour continues beyond the first wave of May dates, with additional stops listed in the update such as Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, North Carolina on July 2, and Highmark Stadium in Buffalo on May 12 as part of the broader lineup of summer performances.
The update also places the band’s path through additional U.S. markets including Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on May 5, Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin on May 12, Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland on May 15, and Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on July 19.
For fans in Vancouver, the most practical takeaway from the announcement is the confirmed May 8, 2027 show at BC Place, which comes as part of a tour that is explicitly continuing through May 2027 and rolling into late-summer dates elsewhere in the U.S.
