Metallica is an American heavy metal band from California, US. Formed in 1981, Metallica is considered to be one of the founding bands of thrash metal.

The band was formed after the various members answered a newspaper advertisement placed by drummer Lars Ulrich who was looking for people to jam with. Metallica quickly gained a following from its many gigs in the Los Angeles music scene as its new thrash metal sound picked up increasing numbers of followers.

Metallica’s first three studio albums, Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightning, and Master of Puppets, did increasingly well on the US album charts, and eventually, each of these albums would be certified platinum. The band toured frequently in the US and Europe, playing to tens of thousands of fans at a time. Its constant touring resulted in rising popularity throughout the late ’80s.

In 1986, tragedy struck when the band’s tour bus crashed in Sweden and bassist Cliff Burton was killed. After debating whether to continue making music, the band received the blessing of Burton’s family and went on to record its next album …And Justice For All. The release of this album in 1988 saw the band attain its biggest success yet as the album charted at number six in the US and number four in the UK; Metallica also received its first Grammy Award nomination.

The commercial success of the album turned Metallica members into living legends. Each of its subsequent five albums hit the number one spot in the US and has been certified platinum. Tracks such as “Enter Sandman” and “Turn the Page” have become legendary in their own right and have inspired legions of artists.

In 1991, Metallica released its fifth album, self-titled Metallica. Today, this album is recognized as one of the band’s first albums to appeal to a larger mainstream audience with less focus on its traditional thrash metal sound. This album wound up selling over 16 million copies in the US alone.

After this album, Metallica continued to release albums that explored new genres and styles. During the next few years, the band would go on to release Binge & Purge, Load, Reload, Garage, S&M, and St. Anger. Then, in 2008, Metallica returned to its earlier sound with the release of Death Magnetic. This album returned to the band’s metal trash roots and debuted at number one in the US. The album quickly climbed the charts globally, reaching number one on both the Billboard 200 and the European album charts. In addition, this became the fastest-selling album of the year in Australia.

After this, Metallic continued to release albums in the same vein as its original sound, releasing its tenth studio album Hardwired…to Self-Destruct in 2016. This album was released via the band’s own record label, Blackened Recordings. The album’s single “Hardwired” went on to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 charts.

Now the band’s eleventh studio album 72 Seasons is set to be released in April of 2023. In anticipation of the release of its newest album, the band released the single “Lux Æterna” in November 2022.

Metallica has won an impressive nine Grammy Awards and three MTV VMA awards. Its style is influenced by bands such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Aerosmith, but Metallica itself has gone on to be one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time, selling more than 120 million records worldwide.

For those who are looking forward to seeing Metallica live at any of its shows, the band delivers an incredible live experience. Fans flock to stadiums, festivals, and concert halls to watch the group perform dozens of songs spanning its extensive discography. Over the years, Metallica has played over 2,000 shows, traveling to every populated continent in the world. What started out as a small movement in California, has spread globally, earning the group an incredible following of metal fans from countries virtually everywhere.

Metallica’s adrenaline-filled shows aren’t for those who wish to sit back and relax. The band members all deliver their own bold energy to the stage, and the crowd follows suit. Most Metallica shows involve fan interaction, with concert attendees singing, clapping, jumping, and thrashing along to the music. In addition to the incredible power that the band brings to the stage during a show, the audio and visual effects are also second to none. Metallica is known for playing a loud concert, where every beat of the drum, every strum of the bass, and every lyric is felt from head to toe.

Live reviews

A most memorable night as the boys set out to open the new Royal Arena with a bang. And that they did!

From the opening of Hardwired it was clear they were here and they meant business! The most in-your-face opening of a Metallica gig I have ever witnessed. While there were a few noticeable "hiccups" in James' voice it was, to my ears, nothing major. But evidently it prooved to be just that.

James told us he and a few of the others weren't feeling well and about 30 minutes into the show he had a talk with Lars, center-stage, and at this point most of us looked at each-other and thought, "Uh-oh. Something's up. They're gonna cancel..."

James adressed the crowd, saying the band weren't sounding good and that he hated giving us a bad show. He wanted to stop. He asked the crowd outright, if we wanted a make-up show later with Metallica in full force or if they should continue at half mast. The crowd roared a reassuring and supportive "No!" - meaning: It's OK, James. We are here for you. We want you to battle on. We can do this together.

He laughed warmly, thanked the crowd for our support and said, "You asked for it".

They reorganized, changed the set-list and came out again and this time it seemed there was more energy in their performance. They were out to proove that they could do this, illness be damned! And as James asked for the crowds help in singing the lyrics, it didn't feel like all the other times he had done so. This was special. For once, you actually felt as if you were helping James, helping the band, through this ordeal. Together. And it felt mighty good. Sometimes this whole "Metallica-family"-thing gets a bit worn-out and cliché, at least for me. But in that moment I felt it. The kinship. The coming together. And that was a mighty thing. A mighty good thing.

The band soldiered on, ripping into a mighty version of Fade to Black, that hit home a bit more than it used to.

Yes, there was an incident with Kirk during the intro, first missing his cue and then playing false notes, but not one of the critics questioned why. Just prior to Fade Kirk had done a solo thrasing his guitar around. For Fade he was then given another guitar, but the receiver on it cut out leaving him muted. They quickly gave him another guitar, the same he'd used for the solo, which was not tuned to Fade thus producing false notes. He finished the intro and they quickly changed guitars again, this time with a working receiver and in-tune.

It's ok to criticize if the criticism is justified. Factless criticism is just whining.

So they battled on raising the roof with a feroscious rendition of Seek and Destroy and the most pummeling version of Battery I've ever heard. Absolutely blistering.

And closing out with Sandman with the crowd in full roar was just perfect.

It was a truly memorable concert both performance and set-wise. Oh, and they even included Harvester of Sorrow which was a very nice surprise for me.

The stage was beautiful with a built-in screen. And a screen in the ceiling as well. Epic and beautiful.

A memorable night I won't forget as long as I live. As a fan, they did me proud with this one. I just hope James recovers and regains his strenght once again.

Hetfield, rise!

The impatient wait had been going on for months - I booked this show when tickets went on sale back in March or whenever it was, and October had take so long to come around - but finally it was here: Metallica day!

The day started with a trip to the pop-up merch store in London, then onto the O2 for an agonising queue (good thing it's what us Brits do best, apart from moan about it of course) before finally getting in and finding my seat - which, by pure luck, was a superb view. Again, what felt like days, but in reality was only 30-40 mins wait, the lights dimmed, the background music shut off, and the familiar notes of the intro track, "The Ecstasy of Gold", complete with video footage from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", began to ring out, to rapturous roaring and whistling from the 20,000 strong crowd. The hairs on my arms are standing on end just recounting it for this review. And then we were in: full-bore, 100mph, Metallica took to the stage and belted out song after song after song with barely a moment to catch your breath before the next does of thrash metal came your way. "Thrash metal?", I hear you say, "Metallica hasn't been thrash metal since the 80's!". Oh my friend, trust me when I say thrash metal - we had some of the best early work represented tonight, not least with half a dozen track from the new album "Hardwired... To Self Destruct" that included unrelenting riff after riff, from the likes of "Hardwired", "Atlas Rise", "Moth Into Flame", coupled with one of the heaviest tracks they've ever written "Dream No More", plus "Halo on Fire" and "Now That We're Dead". All segmented in-between some of the bands greatest songs; "Seek & Destroy", "Through The Never", "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", "For Whom The Bell Tolls", "Through The Never", "One", "Sad But True", "Fuel", the obligatory cover, this time from the Misfits' "Die Die My Darling", before ending the show with "Master of Puppets".

Of course, it wasn't the end - back for the encore the intro to "Damage Inc" came on, before they ripped all the way through it, eventually slowing the pace to play the ever-loved "Nothing Else Matters" and finally ending on probably their most well known song "Enter Sandman"

It was a great varied selection of tunes that spans most of their career - the only notable exceptions being there was nothing from "Load", "St Anger" or the previous record "Death Magnetic". But otherwise all the other studio albums were represented. Some guitar and bass doodles from Kirk and Rob, before Rob gave us a wonderful tribute to Cliff by playing "Anesthesia".

If you get the chance to go, then go see this show - it's truly magnificent, from a band with 36 years experience in being the biggest metal band on the planet, and it shows you just why they are. I just wish I had a ticket for tomorrow night too.

We went to a concert in Toronto to see; Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold, and the show I have been waiting my life to see; Metallica. They all sported the Blue Jays jersey with their names at some point and thanking them for the gifts. The show had a Dj mixing up songs before/between acts from groups like Beastie Boys to Black Sabbath. Volbeat and avenged Sevenfold were great acts my first seeing all. My 16yr old is really into Avenged Sevenfold and was not disapointed. (end of grade 10 present). Volbeat i have heard in passing once and will do my best to spread the word about them.Glad i made it there in time to catch Volbeat if you ever have a chance make sure you catch them! Avenged Sevenfold was everything my 16 year old had told me. Those who missed them may be may be able to catch them soon as they alluded to coming back. They make me glad that metal is carring on to the younger generation these days. "We love Canada, we love you guys you're so nice and you always get us @#$!*&-up!" They were amazed that as Canadians when he made reference to the flag from another country someone was holding up we cheered not booed "cause thats just how nice you all are!"Finally but not least in any way Metallica.First of all their pyrotechniques were amazing boasting two small hot air ballons above them. The stage was set up so everyone had a good view and sported large screens for those further back to follow the rifts as well. At one point they were all on drums together each sporting their own.James Hetfield after noticing a young 8 yr old in the audience made reference to the"...Metallica family, young, 'medium' and old." They played flawlessly and didnt disapoint their fans. My 16 year old was excited to see Metallica and who influenced not only her Mom and friends but the music yet to come out. The screens showed videos like clips from "the unforgiven" to lead up the one of the many big hit songs. The encore was what i was waiting for...the two songs my friends and I have been singing since grade school. What a great venue; no big line up for anything but marchandise. Thanks to all who made the show work:-)

Metallica@RoyalArena03feb2017

Overall it was great. A blast of a concert! What wasn't so great mostly has to do with inexperience among staff of the arena itself, and the fact that it was premiere night on a brand new untried venue. Plus the tech geeks victory over common sense in arena design.

There was trouble with wi-fi connections, which initially meant doors opened 10-20minutes late due to ticket validation.(whiplash experience)

Bar staff initially unaware of validity of drink tickets (VIP-bracelet)

Understaffed bar and merchandise shop in lounge area.

Lounge area cramped. The room could have been 3 times the size to comfortably hold that many people. This was only a problem until early access was given to GA floor, as many went in at that time.

Luggage handling/storage at Royal Arena is a total disaster. There were no oversized lockers. People had to be in possession of an IOS or Android smartphone (not windows compatible) with mobile pay on it, which excludes 10-25% of Danish concertgoers and 100% of foreigners. Redo ASAP! Loose codes and an arena tech was assigned to deal with the issue analogous, but it was too little too late, and will be a reoccurring issue in the future.

Those were - except for luggage - all minor things, and this review has to end on a very positive note with a great shoutout to the crew at CID entertainment for going the full mile to make everyone as comfortable as possible and making everything work on the fly. Thanks guys!

General arena design is also top shelf, and can endure LOUD bands to the extent that no other large scale arena in Denmark can follow. Thumbs up for that!

As for Metallica - James wasn't well. We could hear it; he told us himself too. The crowd wanted it to happen so bad, and it did. I only hope there has been no permanent health damage induced by playing the (almost) full show. Metallica delivers - every single f#$!ing time!

Electrifying as ever with their incredible performance and stage presence, the members of Metallica delivered the goods and more last night with a nice cross section of numbers running the gamut of their colossal catalog! There were occasional pauses to interact and converse with the crowd, but the band segued their way into one song after another the majority of the evening. The night opened up with an intro of the Ecstasy of Gold followed by the title cut off of the band's latest effort Hard Wired to Self Destruct. James Hetfield's vocals were as strong as ever from beginning to end. Kirk Hammett engaged in one brain crushing guitar solo after another, Lars Ulrich brought a great and almost nonstop back beat with his furious drumming and Rob Trujillo provided excellent bass work including a great treatment of the solo the late Cliff Burton was well known for on Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth). During the aforementioned bass solo video footage of Burton performing onstage accented the music perfectly. Other exceptional highlights included Kirk's stellar guitar shredding accompanied frequently by usage of his wah pedal. Cuts such as Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Creeping Death and the encore Enter Sandman in particular contained solos showcasing his seemingly boundless talent! Things heated up literally as well during the songs Fight Fire with Fire and Sandman when pyrotechnics were activated and flames shot up from the stage. At the end Ulrich tossed sticks out into the audience. Hetfield, Trujillo and Hammett threw and shook picks from little jack o' lantern tins out into the crowd, the picks of which boasting the band logo as well as the theatre's location and concert date on them. Great souvenirs in even something so small right there as my husband and I each scooped one up off the floor! A grand night out, the next one of which cannot come soon enough!

2nd September show in Cobenhagen.

Tallica promised us a unique show because this concert was postponed show from February. Many people travel a long way to see them in February including me traveling from Iceland.

The moment when I heard Seek & Destory in the #3rd slot then I knew this was going to be something special.

They performed Thought The Never in slot #4 and that song has not been played for 4 years. The next song was The Day That Never Comes and we did not believe that because in our wildest dreams we hoped to have that on the list, we jumped like there was no day tomorrow.

Dream No More was in the slot #7 and that was the second time Metallica has played that song. It was nice to hear Breadfan in slot #10. We saw many drons flying over the stage in Moth Into Flame, which was amazing!

Fight Fire With Fire was in the encore faster than ever.

Me and my friends walked away from Royal Arena in great mood with a big smile on our faces and with a hoarse throut, like James was in February.

About the unique show as we where promised in February it was only UNIQUE for 2 days because Amsterdam got almost the same setlist. But we got a free T-shirt, that was probably the unique thing for us.

We where hoping for some live debut like Murder One, Spit Out The Bones but it did not happend.

The song ManUnkind was performed tonight in Paris (10th September) and that is unique.

Iceland has been waiting since 2004 for Metallica to come back to Iceland when they held the biggest indore concert in Reykjavík. We do not want to wait another 23 years like we did before 2004.

All the best,

Gauti Sigurpálsson

Over 10 years, I got to see Metallica 7 times and each experience was in a different country. I have to admit the venues look different and incorporate a new way to watch the band but the musical vibe remains intact. They have shaped into an incredibly professional and hard-working live band. We can argue about and discuss their new album materials but one thing is guaranteed with Metallica: you will get only the best from their live performance. If you have not seen them live, just go to one gig. Doesnt matter if you are not a metal fan because the experience they deliver is incredible. I have seen families at their shows and even people who do not understand nor appreciate metal, but they all seemed to be excited from what they were witnessing. The only pity with Metallica is that you will most likely never have the chance to see them in a small venue. They are just too big of a band in demand and only deliver in large outdoor festivals or stadiums.

This summer they had a new style of set list where people could request via voting for songs. The top songs define the set list and this gives a chance for people to vote for what they want to hear. The only unfortunate thing about all this is that people are voting for songs they already play each tour. People should vote to get them to play new songs from their past, which they havent performed over 20 years. I was in Helsinki (their first European gig for 2014) and they had to play "The Frayed Ends of Insanity" and it was ecstatic. \m/

Do you like your rock shows huge, loud & engaging? Do you like stage sets that fill entire arena floors, filled with gigantic set pieces & enough pyro to blow up a small country? Do you like singing along to tightly played, iconic songs for 2-3 hours with thousands of friends? If yes, Metallica are your guys.

Each show starts when The Ecstasy of Gold (theme song from The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) plays over the PA, and crowd anticipation hits a fever pitch with thousands shouting along with the melody. Just thinking about the opening gives me goosebumps. Once Ecstasy hits its crescendo, they hit the stage like a thunderbolt, hammering through their lineup of classic tunes to a screaming, fist pumping, metal-sign-throwing crowd. Grizzled metal fans join together with legions of kids (oftentimes their own kids), shouting out every word of every song, and even singing along with guitar solos & melodies. Their set list varies each night. There are standards that they have to play, and you'll of course hear plenty of their big songs such as Enter Sandman and Master of Puppets. But they mix things up extremely well and no two nights are ever quite the same. It's amazing to me that after 30+ years and thousands of shows, the guys in the band still love mixing things up, still love goofing around on stage, still love engaging with the crowd, and obviously just love playing live & generating crazy crowd energy.

Quite simply, they are the kings of arena metal. Bow to the kings!

May 17, 2017 Nassau Coliseum

This was the first time I have been to a Metallica show. James has the best personality on stage. He gets the entire crowd into the show; into the mood; very laid back style. I like the fact the guys walk around the stage from different angles so that no matter where you sit, you can take excellent photos of them; that I have to give credit for that they do think of the fans in that aspect. The special effects were beautiful and showed in my pictures with my camera. James is very considerate of the fans from all aspects, you have to be in the Metallica Family...and you have to sing along with them...you just have to...the band played all the hit songs from present to past, no complaints. Saved the best song for last...Sandman....The sound system was excellent all around, no complaints. I am in still in shock; this was the best show I have ever seen in my life. They really have fun while playing they keep your interest up...James will not let the fans down..this band wants total audience participation...that is what to me, really stole the show. they do love and appreciate the fans....that is what stuck with me the most for a 1st time live performance is they really care about the fans..that really impressed me...

It was my first time in Turkey. From São Paulo to Istanbul I needed to take a 12-hour flight. 12 hours and 5 days. The necessary time to enjoy the unique atmosphere of the city before finally seeing one of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen! For me the concert had started when I met another crazy fan at the metro stations, going to Istanbul Technical University Stadium. So, after a few minutes, I was there. And I was able to see the power Metallica have to gather so many people from many countries. Lebanon, Kazakistan, Iran. Like me, a Brazilian guy. I admit I have not known the opening band, Pentagram. But the sound those guys had played left me so surprised. What an awesome performance! I had felt the emotion of being part of a rock concert when people started to sing the lyrics. Two hours later, time has come. Metallica by Request. The last European tour concert. The moment to listen the powerful voice of James Hetfield, the aggressive way to perform his guitar riffs, and all the greatest Metallica classical musics in front of me. In front of thousands of fans. Starting the concert playing "Master of Puppets" had been their way to say: Enjoy the best concert of your lives! Long live Metallica! Horns up! \m/

Metallica ‘Kick A– and Celebrate Life’ at Surprisingly Feel-Good U.S. Tour Opener

The M72 World Tour stateside kickoff at MetLife stadium in New Jersey -- which also doubled as a birthday party for Metallica's frontman -- was an altogether life-affirming experience.

It felt a privilege to get near 10 minutes each of both the spellbinding Master of Puppets instrumental chugger “Orion” and the underrated 21st century “Simple Man”-turned-“Free Bird” power ballad “The Day That Never Comes,” with the band — minus the occasional Lars aberration — in total lockstep, guitarist Kirk Hammett’s solos in particular sounding as explosive and radiant as ever. Even most of the material from the new 72 Seasons , which can feel a little flat on record, came alive in this setting — sounding more credible than ever as forgotten b-sides or second-side cuts from the band’s classic period. (“If Darkness Had a Son,” though, will likely always be a tough hang.)

The show closed with “Master of Puppets” — a signature song which, after three and a half decades of fan worship, also become the band’s unlikely first Hot 100 top 40 hit in nearly 15 years last summer. The most indelible image of the evening — in our section at least — was a series of four pre-teens in matching Metallica shirts losing their minds (and eventually their shirts) to “Master,” all members-in-training of the Hellfire Club , no doubt. One of the adults supervising them was also wearing a shirt with a Napster logo — seemingly as neither an ironic nor confrontational gesture, but rather just as a winking acknowledgment of how much water under the bridge band and audience share after 40 years.

The most emotional moment of the night, however, came earlier, as Hetfield acknowledged thanked the crowd for “remembering my birthday” — the frontman having turned 60 just on Thursday. “My seventh decade on the planet… I can’t believe it,” he rhapsodized from on stage. “Younger me would be saying, ‘You made it. You effing made it.'” Then, before launching into “Fade to Black” — from the band’s second album, and still one of the most vivid, heartbreaking, and yet strangely empowering songs ever written about suicidal ideation — he reflected, “I’m glad I didn’t listen to my head when I was young.” It’s a long way to the top, but Hetfield and Metallica made a very good case on Friday for why getting there is worth the trip.

“Creeping Death” “Harvester of Sorrow” “Holier Than Thou” “King Nothing” “72 Seasons” “If Darkness Had a Son” “Fade to Black” “Shadows Follow” “Orion” “Nothing Else Matters” “Sad But True” “The Day That Never Comes” “Battery” “Fuel” “Seek and Destroy” “Master of Puppets”

If you're looking for help on where to buy Metallica tickets for their ongoing M72 World Tour, we have you covered. The heavy metal legends are back on tour for the first time since 2019, and concert tickets are still available to purchase for those who want to catch the performances of the second and third legs of the acclaimed tour.

Metallica's M72 World Tour kicked off on April 27, 2023 in Amsterdam. The first leg in Europe included 10 shows across five cities, followed by a monthlong hiatus for the band throughout July 2023. Metallica then commenced the second phase of the M72 World Tour in North America, which began on August 4, 2023, in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and ended on November 12, 2023, in Detroit, Michigan. The band is finishing up a six-month break before returning to Europe for the third leg starting on May 24, 2024.

Longtime band members James Hetfield (lead vocals, guitar), Lars Ulrich (drums), Kirk Hammett (lead guitar), and Robert Trujillo (bass guitar) are all returning for the nearly two-year-long tour, which is in support of Metallica's 11th studio album. While the M72 tour is focused on celebrating their 2023 album 72 Seasons, the tour's playlist includes various songs from Metallica's entire discography. Some classic tracks that have made their way onto the setlists in 2023 include "Fade to Black," "Enter Sandman," and "Master of Puppets."

Take a look at the table below for a list of remaining dates, venues, their cheapest prices at the time of writing, and links to each tour date's tickets. Or you can browse through all the available Metallica tickets left through StubHub and Vivid Seats for all dates at your leisure.

Where to buy Metallica tickets

You can buy original tickets to Metallica's 2023-2024 concert tour through Ticketmaster, though the available quantity is limited. Additionally, standard original tickets on Ticketmaster are typically more expensive than those available through verified resale platforms such as StubHub and Vivid Seats .

The prices for standard tickets at Metallica's M72 World Tour range from about $55 on the lower end to $332 for one-day passes, though these prices are higher for two-day passes to most venues. The price range for standard tickets through StubHub is similar, beginning at about $46 to around $329, depending on the date and location.

How much are Metallica tickets?

The cost of an original concert ticket to Metallica has risen significantly over time due to demand. While some are still available through Ticketmaster, the price of a ticket varies by date and location.

In September, the cheapest price on Ticketmaster for a standard ticket to Metallica's M72 concert was $56 for the band's November 3 show in St. Louis, Missouri. Meanwhile, the least expensive original ticket to Metallica's Detroit, Michigan concert on November 10 started at $225. Since Metallica's M72 World Tour primarily consists of two shows at each location, you can also get deals for two-day passes cheaper than buying separate tickets for those dates.

Over the past several months, the cheapest available resale ticket listings have mostly decreased in price or stayed about the same. For example, the final two-day passes in Mexico City have decreased in price by more than $100. They were previously listed at $359 on StubHub, but they now go for $242 on the same site. Other dates, like the band's first night in Helsinki, have also seen more than $100 drops in price.

Various VIP packages for Metallica's tour come at a higher price, including the "Nothing Else Matters" Snake Pit Experience, "Moth Into Flame" Snake Pit Experience, "One" Enhanced Experience, "Seek & Destroy" Reserved Package, and "Frantic" Early Entry GA Package. An example of one of the cheapest VIP packages begins at $349 for the "Frantic" package and $399 for the "Seek & Destroy" package on September 1 in Seattle, Washington. 

Original prices typically come in higher than resale prices for Metallica concerts. Many of the cheaper tickets are verified resales or originals to nearer tour dates, so you might find the best prices when it gets closer to the concert date.

Watch Kelly Clarkson sing an angelic version of Metallica's Sad But True

  • Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Less than two weeks after Kelly Clarkson serenaded Ann and Nancy Wilson with a version of Heart 's Crazy On You on her daytime TV show, the former American Idol star has provided further evidence of her love of rock.

On her most recent broadcast, Clarkson used the 'Kellyoke' portion of her show to sing a version of Metallica 's Sad But True, kicking it off in the style of a mournful piano ballad before hitting the kind of high note around the 45-second mark that Papa Het can only dream of.

The decision to perform Sad But True appears to have been made earlier in the year, when Australian actress Isla Fisher appeared on Clarkson's show and the pair discussed the former Home & Away/Arrested Development star's love of Metallica.

Clarkson: "I love that you love Metallica."

Fisher: "I know. I love Metallica."

Clarkson: "Now I'm rethinking my vinyl I gave you. I'm like, I didn't know."

Fisher: "That's a little secret, OK?"

Clarkson: "Yeah, I love Metallica as well. And we should cover something Metallica."

Fisher: "Yeah, oh my gosh, you should. You should do Sad But True. Your voice would be amazing."

Clarkson: "OK, fine, done. OK. Sad But True , someone write it down."

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how TV is made.

The Kellyoke section of the show has seen Clarkson make several forays into the rock arena, including covers of Whitesnake's Here I Go Again , Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun , Radiohead's  Fake Plastic Trees , Blink-182's  All The Small Things  and  Come Out And Play (Keep ‘Em Separated)  by The Offspring.

Metallica's M72 World Tour resumes at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany, on May 24. Full dates below.

How Much Does Metallica Make Per Show?

M etallica, one of the most iconic heavy metal bands in history, has been rocking stages worldwide for decades. With their thunderous music and electrifying performances, they’ve not only gathered a massive fan base but have also amassed significant earnings from their concerts. So, how much does Metallica make per show?

Metallica pulls in between four to six million dollars each night during their massive stadium tours. This figure was highlighted during their recent European arena tour, where they averaged over $2 million per night. To put this into perspective, across just five shows on their current 72 Seasons tour, Metallica sold 230,682 tickets, grossing a total of $29,576,176. This breaks down to an average gross of $5,915,235 per show. These numbers are not just impressive; they’re staggering, showcasing Metallica’s unparalleled ability to draw in crowds and generate revenue.

How Much Does Metallica Charge To Play A Show?

Metallica charges around $1.3 million to play a show. Metallica also splits the fees for each show. This fee is a testament to their status as one of the most sought-after live acts in the world. Despite this high booking fee, venues, and promoters are more than willing to pay up, knowing full well that a Metallica concert guarantees a packed house and significant earnings from ticket sales, merchandise, and concessions.

How Many Tours Has Metallica Had? 

Metallica’s financial success isn’t limited to their concert earnings. Their “Hardwired” tour, which spanned three years from 2016, grossed $426.9 million from 139 concerts, making it the ninth highest-grossing tour of all time. This achievement is proof of  Metallica’s enduring appeal and its ability to consistently draw large audiences worldwide.

Since their first live gig in 1982, Metallica has performed over 1,600 shows across all seven continents. This relentless touring schedule has not only helped them build a massive global fanbase but has also been a significant source of their income. In fact, Metallica’s net worth as of 2024 is a testament to their financial acumen and the sheer scale of their success. Lars Ulrich, the band’s drummer, tops the list of the wealthiest Metallica members with a net worth of $350 million, followed closely by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield at $300 million.

The band’s financial success extends beyond concert revenues and album sales. Metallica has sold over 150 million records worldwide, making them the most successful metal band of all time. Their strategic approach to financial management and investments has further increased their net worth, ensuring that their legacy will endure not just in music history but also in the annals of entertainment’s financial giants.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!
