To present it, in each city Metallica will offer different shows, both by repertoire and by the artists who will act as opening acts.
The M72 World Tour will pass through 22 cities, in addition to Amsterdam and Mexico City, including Madrid, Paris, Hamburg, Chicago and Munich.
A percentage of the proceeds from each entry will go to Metallica’s “All Within My Hands” foundation, whose goal is to help create sustainable communities based on education and the fight against hunger.
