Limp\u00a0Bizkit and Avatar will join the iconic metal band.<\/p>\n
One of the world’s biggest bands \u2014 in any genre \u2014 will play a show in Vancouver next spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Metallica’s original trio formed in 1981, but found commercial success with their 1991 hit single “Enter Sandman.” Since then, they have amassed a loyal fanbase, selling out massive arenas virtually anywhere on earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And the local show at BC Place will likely sell out quickly, as the popular group hasn’t played here in almost a decade, with the last show in 2017<\/a>\u00a0(see photo gallery).<\/p>\n The metal band will play a show in Vancouver on May 8, 2027, as part of a dozen new cities added to their M72 World Tour. They’ve already played an impressive 99 shows in\u00a026 countries since its April 2023 kick-off, according to a press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n The tour is slated to conclude June 19, 2027, at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah.<\/p>\n Since its 2023 launch, the M72 World Tour has been lauded as the “best of the band’s 40+ years of traversing the globe, with nearly five million members of the Metallica family having attended.”<\/p>\n Limp\u00a0Bizkit and Avatar will join Metallica on its North American run.<\/p>\n Tickets will go on sale to the Fan Club starting Monday, Sept. 21 at 10 a.m. Local presale happens on Thursday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general sale starting Friday, Sept. 25 at 10 a.m.<\/p>\n Metallica M72 World Tour<\/p>\n When: Saturday, May 8, 2027,\u00a0at 6 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n Where: BC Place –\u00a0777 Pacific Blvd<\/p>\n Cost: TBA.
