Metallica has announced a major concert in Vancouver for May 2027 as part of their M72 World Tour. They will be joined by nu-metal pioneers Limp Bizkit at BC Place.
Why it matters
This event represents a significant economic and cultural boost for the Vancouver live entertainment sector.
It’s time to add another huge Vancouver concert to the schedule, because Metallica has just announced they’re coming to town for the first time in nearly a decade, and they’re bringing some special guests with them.
The nine-time Grammy Award winners are taking over BC Place on Saturday, May 8, 2027, for the M72 World Tour.
