Metallica

Metallica at Kohl Center

Why see Metallica?

m72 tour 2025

Thrash metal monsters Metallica are shaking things up on the M72 tour where they'll be playing two back-to-back electrifying concerts on each stop. 

Among their many metal classics are 'Enter Sandman', 'Nothing Else Matters' and 'Master of Puppets'. While fans might expect to hear the hits at every night, the band promises something new for the M72 tour; no two nights will be the same! 

 Formed in 1981 by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, Metallica have been stalwarts of the American metal scene ever since, breaking through into the mainstream with the double whammy of ...And Justice For All (1988) and their self-titled eponymous fifth album (1991).

With support from Pantera, Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, Suicide Silence and more (check local listings for your city's acts.)

Once they played, great

Great show. Not a huge fan, but BF is. Once they actually started playing, it was awesome. Still can put on a show. However they said show started at 7:30, no opening band, so we got there only to listen to a hypeman jabber on for an hour and 15 minutes. It got really old after about 20. Wish they would have just said show starts at 8:45 and not waste my time. The venue was great. Kohl Center doesn't have a bad seat. ... Read more

Opening act terrible

Metallica were amazing, The stadium act was great and gave a good experience for all sides of the Kohl center. 5 stars for Metallica .Lstening to Bruer doing his best to stall for hours was a major disapointment. He lost the crowd and was heartily booed... ... Read more

Overall--Excellent

Good music over sound system prior to band taking stage--ace of spades, live wire, to name 2. Once band came on, excellent energy but first 3 songs were marred by bad audio mix. Unforgiven at song 4 (setlist says song 5, maybe I spaced) was really good and quite a surprise. Sound dude seemed to get his stuff together at this point and was spot on rest of night. Video and stage lighting was state of art with dozens of smaller units in sync and colors were bathing arena in reds/oranges. Song 5, now that we're dead had a drumming sequence that was amazing. Each of the band played on a unit that came up from the stage. Never done before I don't think. Fade to Black mid-set was so freaking powerful. Band was 100% there all night. They flew through Master at 1st set end. Crowd was fully engaged singing every word. Half the song Hatfield was away from mic. Encore first song Spit out the bone was epic. Then "nothing else matters" cooled things off too much IMO. Sandman was average. Rock on! ... Read more
