Cleveland's first stadium show of 2027 has been announced. Metallica will take over Huntington Bank Field on June 15.

The heavy metal band's M72 World Tour has had 99 concert dates since it started in 2023, and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. It will continue into 2027 with a new leg of shows spanning North America, starting on May 8 with Vancouver and wrapping up on June 19 in Salt Lake City. Limp Bizkit and Avatar will open.

Concerts center the band's unique, circular "Snake Pit" on the ground floor, where the band can perform in a circle around a lucky group of fans in the center. Metallica last performed in Cleveland in 2019, with a concert at Rocket Arena. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2009.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, Sept. 25, with some presale options opening on Monday, Sept. 21. Find more details about the tickets at Metallica's website. A portion of ticket proceeds will support the band's All Within My Hands foundation.
