Metallica Kicks Off ‘M72 World Tour’ In North America At The MetLife Stadium

Metallica’s James Hetfield, who just celebrated his 60th birthday, rocked on at the MetLife Stadium last week in New Jersey.

It was the rock band’s second night for their North American leg of their M72 World Tour, in support of their latest album released in April, 72 Seasons.

The beginning of their North American tour included a “No Repeat Weekend,” which meant the August 4 and August 6 audiences each heard different setlists. A treat to many, the band had always planned to perform for two nights in each city they visited.
