Two nights. Zero repeats. Thirty+ songs. Your ears will never forgive you.
The first of two nights broadcast live from Arlington, TX, Metallica’s M72 World Tour bursts onto the big screen in cinemas worldwide. This unprecedented global theatrical event will see the band playing two nights with two completely different setlists, with songs from across the group’s 40+ year career, ranging from 1983’s debut Kill ‘Em All to 2023’s new release 72 Seasons. You won’t see the same song twice for a total of over 30 songs across both nights.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The M72 stage features a custom 'doughnut' platform allowing Lars to rotate 360 degrees during his drum solos.
This dual-night theatrical release marks the first time a major rock act has treated cinema as a true touring venue, not just a documentary afterthought.
