Metallica announces upstate NY stop on M72 World Tour

Metallica is making a stop in upstate New York next year as the band continues its M72 World Tour.

The JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse will be hosting the rock band on April 19, 2025 with opening acts Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies. It’s the fifth time Metallica has visited the Salt City, with the most recent being in 1996 at Lollapalooza at the New York State Fairgrounds, according to the band’s website. Metallica’s most recent show outside of New York City was at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park in 2022.

The M72 tour, which is extending into its third year, features an in-the-round format allowing some lucky ticket holders to experience the show from the middle of the “Snake Pit” round stage. The band has added 21 North American shows beginning in April and running through June of 2025.

Here’s what to know.

When can I buy tickets for Metallica concert?

Tickets will go on sale on Fri., Sept. 27 at metallica.com/tour. Fan Club presales start Mon., Sept. 23. Additional presales will happen throughout that week.

A portion of proceeds from ticket sales will go to local charities via the band’s foundation, All Within My Hands. Established in 2017 as a way to give back to communities that have supported Metallica over the years, All Within My Hands has raised more than $15 million, providing $8.2 million in grants to career and technical education programs, including the ground-breaking Metallica Scholars Initiative, now in its sixth year, over $3.6 million to combat food insecurity, and more than $3.5 million to disaster relief efforts.
