Plus, until November 7th, Perth fans can snag a limited-edition, exclusive Metallica t-shirt by donating blood at Lifeblood’s Perth Donor Centre, as part of a partnership with the band’s foundation All Within My Hands. The one-of-a-kind design features the band’s famous ‘A sea of hearts beat as one’ lyric, encapsulated within a blood drop, as well as a visual nod to Aussie Metallica fans.

The near sold-out ‘M72 World Tour’ marks Metallica’s first visit to Australia is over a decade – they last played here as headliners of the former Soundwave Festival in 2013.

The current touring lineup features founding members James Hetfield (vocals, guitar) and Lars Ulrich (drums), along with longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo, who joined the band in 2003 during the recording of St. Anger.
