The dates are an extension of the M72 world tour by Metallica, which got underway in 2023 following the release of the band's most recent album, 72 Seasons. The group will carry on with their party segment, ‘No Repeat Weekends,’ in which they make multiple stops and play two shows at the same location without playing the same song twice.

Editor of Metal Hammer Eleanor Goodman saw Metallica perform live for the first time in April 2023 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and gave it a flawless five-star review. It's evident how much fun they're having right away—a smiling Kirk Hammett running up to give a grinning James Hetfield a fist bump. Rob Trujillo and Kirk practically run rings around each other in For Whom the Bell Tolls. James dedicates King Nothing to the national holiday Koningsdag (King's Day), which seems to involve wearing orange and getting wasted. The holiday has already created a party atmosphere in Amsterdam.

Currently touring Central America, Metallica will perform four shows in Mexico City starting tomorrow, September 20, and running through September 29. Frontman James Hetfield recently starred with Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones in the western thriller The Thicket, but he stated in an interview that he isn't really an actor.
