A LEGENDARY heavy metal band has announced UK tour dates, with only one stop in Scotland.
Metallica have announced the next leg of their M72 World Tour, with their only Scottish gig taking place in Glasgow's Hampden Park on Wednesday, June 25, 2026.
The M72 World Tour has already played to nearly four million fans worldwide since it kicked off in Amsterdam in April 2023.
The Glasgow performance will feature support from Gojira and Knocked Loose, and will follow the tour’s signature No Repeat Weekend format, where setlists and support acts vary between each night of a two-show run.
While Glasgow will only host one night, the band is promising a fresh, unique set for each show on the tour.
Tickets go on general sale on May 30 at 10am, while Metallica fan club members can access presale tickets starting May 27 at 11am.

A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will go to local charities through Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation, which has raised more than £16.2 million since its launch in 2017.
The foundation supports a range of causes, including technical education, food security, and disaster relief.
The tour has earned rave reviews, with Billboard calling it “life-affirming” and Metal Hammer praising it as “undeniably epic".
The band’s upcoming Glasgow show is expected to be a major highlight for UK fans, offering a mix of classic hits and new material in a high-energy, stadium-sized spectacle.
