Metallica's Oz Tour: The Wait Is Finally Over
After a wait that’s felt longer than a drum solo, Metallica is coming back to Australia in November 2025. And they’re not doing it halfway—they’ll be tearing up stadiums from Perth to Sydney. This isn’t just any tour; it’s a full-throttle, high-octane invasion that’ll see the band hitting some of Australia’s most iconic stadiums, where every seat is about to feel the blast of Metallica’s amps.
Heavy Metal Royalty: Metallica's Aussie Legacy
When Metallica first hit Australian shores, they cemented themselves as legends in the hearts of Aussie rock fans. For many, they were the gateway into the heavier side of rock, igniting a love affair with metal that’s still burning strong. They didn’t just play to audiences here—they built a loyal following that’s kept the fire stoked for decades. This tour celebrates not just their music but the undying love from generations of fans.
The Snake Pit: Up Close and Loud
Known for taking things to the next level, Metallica’s bringing their famous Snake Pit setup—a unique layout that throws fans right up to the action, giving them an up-close experience of the band’s sheer, unfiltered energy. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of the band playing from all sides, with their Snake Pit stage design turning each song into an immersive, roaring spectacle. This is rock and roll the way Aussies love it: raw, loud, and right in your face.
Aussie Rock Scene Gets Its Metal Fix
Metallica’s return isn’t just a big deal for fans; it’s a major nod to the Aussie rock and metal scene that’s flourished for decades. With venues from Melbourne’s Northcote Social Club to Brisbane’s Crowbar, Australia has kept the spirit of rock alive, inspiring both up-and-comers and local legends alike. This tour is a high-voltage reminder that rock isn’t just surviving in Australia—it’s thriving, and Metallica’s here to celebrate that with us.
A Killer Line-Up: Suicidal Tendencies and Evanescence
Supporting Metallica on this tour are two acts that bring their own electric flavour to the mix. Suicidal Tendencies, with their thrash-punk edge, and Evanescence, whose modern rock vibe is still as fresh as ever, are here to amplify the mayhem. Together, they’re setting up what’s likely to be one of the loudest, most explosive tours Australia has ever seen.
Australia, Get Ready for Rock History in the Making
Whether you’ve been a fan since the cassette days or you’re just diving into their Spotify catalog, next November is one for the history books. This tour isn’t just a string of concerts—it’s a call to every rock lover in the country to gather, reminisce, and crank up the volume.
