Metallica is bringing its massive M72 World Tour to Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh on Wednesday, June 2, and the show will unfold on a one-of-a-kind stage built right into the middle of the field. Limp Bizkit and Avatar are set to open, and the Raleigh date stands as the band’s only North Carolina stop among the newly announced tour dates.
The production puts the stage in the round at the 50-yard line, with a central Snake Pit offering fans a complete 360-degree view of the show, according to Metallica.com. That center stage design has become the signature of the M72 tour, and per the band’s own tour page, the Raleigh stop will use the same setup fans have seen elsewhere on the run, at Carter-Finley Stadium at 4600 Trinity Road in West Raleigh, according to the News & Observer.
Who’s Opening and What the Stadium Holds
Special guests Limp Bizkit and Avatar will open the show, according to GoPack.com. Carter-Finley Stadium has a capacity of 56,919, per Carter-Finley Stadium’s own site, making it one of the larger venues on Metallica’s newly expanded 2027 North American schedule.
The same GoPack.com report notes that a variety of premium seating opportunities will also be available for the Raleigh date. Fans chasing an up-close night can look at Enhanced Experiences that may include early entry, a meet and greet with band members, stage tours, Snake Pit passes, or an exclusive pre-show gathering in the Black Box Lounge.
