Rolling Stone AU/NZ was at the first show of the Metallica tour in Perth last week, and gave it a 4/5 star review.
“So, for their first Australian tour since 2013’s Soundwave jaunt (their 2019 tour was canned when singer/guitarist James Hetfield took himself off to rehab), Metallica served up a career-spanning smorgasbord that played to many of their strengths and delighted those of a certain age whose jaw hit the floor listening to their 1983 debut Kill ‘Em All, right through to younger fans, of which there are many present tonight,” Rolling Stone AU/NZ wrote.
“Metallica could have played another two hours featuring many of the great songs they skipped tonight, but the chosen songs, the show, and the entire spectacle of Metallica live in 2025 was undeniably triumphant.”
Metallica are heading to Melbourne for the next show this Saturday (November 8th), before Brisbane on November 12th and Sydney on November 15th. From there, they’ll head to New Zealand for a show at Eden Park in Auckland on November 19th.
