Metallica on Monday announced “M72,” a massive two-year world tour.
The announcement of the tour also came along with the release of a new song called “Lux Aeterna” and an album called “72 seasons Metallica.” The tour will begin on April 27, 2023, and will last into 2024.

The band’s first trip to the U.S. will be on Aug. 4 and Aug. 6 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
