Historic event: Metallica will give a concert in Bahrain!

The Bahrain concert will be a major highlight of the M72 World Tour, dedicated to the release of the new album “72 Seasons”. For fans in the Middle East, this is a rare opportunity to experience the live power and unbridled energy of Metallica without leaving the region. The Al Dana Amphitheatre, located in the picturesque desert landscape, will provide a unique atmosphere for this grand event.

Formed by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich in the early 80s, Metallica became one of the most influential bands in the world of heavy music thanks to their thrash metal style. Their discography includes over ten studio albums, numerous live recordings and numerous prestigious awards, including several Grammy Awards. The setlist for the concert is expected to span the band’s entire career, from thrash metal classics from “Kill ’Em All” and “Ride the Lightning” to epics from “Master of Puppets” and iconic ballads from the legendary “Black Album” such as “Nothing Else Matters” and “The Unforgiven.”

The show will be the band’s debut in Bahrain and part of an expanded presence in the Middle East in late 2025. Just three days after the Zallaq show, on December 6, Metallica will perform at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix post-race concert.

Tickets for Metallica’s show at Al Dana Amphitheatre are now on sale. Given the band’s popularity, it’s best to purchase your tickets early. Fans can choose their seats and book tickets on our website. Don't miss the chance to be part of this incredible musical event and make history with Metallica's first concert in Bahrain.
