Welcome to “No Repeat Weekend.”
The Metallica shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Friday, Aug. 4, and Sunday Aug. 6, kick off the North American leg of Metallica's M72 World Tour, named after the group's new album, “72 Seasons.”
Pantera, featuring Jackson's Zakk Wylde on guitar, and Mammoth WVH, featuring Wolfgang Van Halen, opened the show on Friday. Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills open Sunday. It's called a “No Repeat Weekend” with different opening acts and two completely different setlists.

The M72 tour features a “bold” new circular stage design that relocates the famed Metallica Snake Pit to center stage, surrounded by the band.
Get there early to check out some old-school metal. Prong played in Lot G at 3 p.m. Friday, and Overkill does the same place at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Attendees need a ticket to see the pre-show parking lot performance.
Tickets start at $92 plus fees through Ticketmaster.
A portion of proceeds from the shows go to Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation, which seeks to assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band and combat food insecurity; provides disaster relief; and bestows scholarships.
