Metallica announces upstate NY stop on M72 World Tour
Metallica is making a stop in upstate New York next year as the band continues its M72 World Tour.
The JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse will be hosting the rock band on April 19, 2025 with opening acts Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies. It's the fifth time Metallica has visited the Salt City, with the most recent being in 1996 at Lollapalooza at the New York State Fairgrounds, according to the band's website. Metallica's most recent show outside of New York City was at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park in 2022.
The M72 tour, which is extending into its third year, features an in-the-round format allowing some lucky ticket holders to experience the show from the middle of the "Snake Pit" round stage. The band has added 21 North American shows beginning in April and running through June of 2025.
Here's what to know.
