Auckland, mark your calendars—Metallica is officially coming to town! A leaked article from the New Zealand Herald has revealed that the legendary band will perform at Eden Park on November 19, 2025, making this their first concert in New Zealand in over a decade. This exciting news comes just days after the band confirmed their show in Perth, part of their global M72 world tour.
Though the New Zealand Herald quickly deleted the article, the details have already sparked a wave of excitement across the country. The Auckland show at Eden Park will be the only New Zealand date on the tour, so Kiwi fans will need to act fast when tickets go on sale. Given Metallica’s track record of selling out stadiums worldwide, the 50,000-capacity venue is sure to be packed for this monumental event.
What to Expect from Metallica’s Eden Park Show
Fans attending Metallica’s 2025 concert in Auckland can look forward to an unforgettable experience. The M72 world tour has garnered rave reviews, showcasing the band’s signature stage setups, spectacular pyrotechnics, and a setlist brimming with classics alongside tracks from their latest album, 72 Seasons.
This upcoming performance is particularly special, as it marks the band’s return to New Zealand after their last visit in 2010. Auckland’s metalheads have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and the Eden Park show promises to be a landmark event, celebrating Metallica’s decades-long career as one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
