The Press Release:
We’re just a little over a month away from the North American kick-off of the M72 tour in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Friday, August 4! And you know that when we town for more than a day, we’ve gotta make a weekend out of it, so we’ve got details for you on many of the takeover activities as the tour travels across the country this summer and fall.
On each Saturday between the two “No Repeat” weekend shows, there will be film fests, pop-up stores, Ross Halfin book signings, AWMH-sponsored opportunities to give back, and so much more. And let’s not forget live music! The lineup making its way through North America with us includes some familiar faces: OTTTO and Bastardane, along with tribute bands Damage Inc., Motorbreath, and Sandman. Plus, a few more acts will join the fun in individual cities.
Tickets for most of the live shows and film fests go on sale this Friday, June 30, at 10 AM local time, with pre-sales for Fifth Members starting tomorrow, June 27, at 10 AM local time.
Check for your city below to see what’s happening and where… ticket links included. If you don’t see the event you’re looking for, keep checking back and watch our socials, as we’ll be adding to this list as the summer goes on. See you out there!

PiercingMetal Thoughts: Whew that is surely a lot of stuff to digest and all the more to excite those fans who have already secured their tickets. As expected I will be tossing my media hat into the ring and hope to be a participant at one or both of the shows. My plan is to do that stuff in the coming days and my interest in both of the shows is based on their being two unique sets of opening acts for each of the shows. I’m very curious to see how the Pantera set comes through with Zakk and Charlie on board and I really enjoy Five Finger Death Punch in concert as well and they’re on different nights. You should all be prepped for lots of Metallica related posts since these shows will be loaded with news updates and since Google is a hard master for a website, I want to stay on top of that and come up in plenty of searches. Chime in down below with your thoughts and I will see you again soon with something else. Keep safe out there as always.
