THE news so many have been waiting for has now been confirmed: Metallica will be in Australia in November next year.

With the announcement apparently held back to avoid a clash with the release of the Oasis dates, Metallica’s first visit to Australia in 12 years was confirmed today.

The metal megastars will play five shows only, and one in NZ, from November 1. Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies will be the support. Tickets go on sale from 12pm, November 1 2024.
