Following a multi-month layover, Metallica launched into another leg of their ongoing M72 World Tour this evening (May 24th) with an ultimately rain-soaked performance at Munich, Germany's Olympiastadion.
The first of the band's two shows at the venue kicked off with a naturally whip-crackin' "Whiplash," and featured an eras-spanning setlist that included Kill 'Em All thrashers like the opener and "Seek & Destroy," as well as globe-dominating Black Album hits including "Sad but True" and "Nothing Else Matters."
Also from the Black Album was a notable newbie to the M72 setlist: deeper cut "Of Wolf and Man," which the metal giants last played in 2021.
As with 2023's tour route, each two-night stop this year is being billed as a "No Repeat Weekend," meaning Munich metalheads showing up for Sunday's performance will be getting a fresh set of songs.
Likewise, while the Friday night performance featured opening sets from British metalcore vets Architects and Mammoth WVH, Sunday will find Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills cutting it up ahead of 'Tallica.
In the meantime, you can see some fan-shot footage down below, where you'll also find the full 16-song setlist (courtesy of Setlist.fm).
