Since the M72 World Tour kicked off in Amsterdam in April 2023, Metallica has performed in front of an estimated four million fans and has been hailed by international press as “a life-changing experience” (Billboard), “unquestionably epic” (Metal Hammer), “a show that leaves you speechless” (Detroit News), “triumphant” (Kerrang!) and “the most powerful and intense Metallica show in years” (Los Angeles Times). Today, M72 continues to impress audiences and critics alike.
As is customary, Metallica will donate a portion of the proceeds from every ticket sold to local charities through the band’s foundation, All Within My Hands. Established in 2017 to support communities that have supported Metallica throughout the years, the foundation has raised over $20 million to date. Of that, $11.4 million has gone toward career and technical education programs, including the groundbreaking Metallica Scholars initiative, now in its seventh year, over $7.4 million has been allocated to combat food insecurity, and over $4.7 million has supported disaster response efforts.
