METALLICA Kicks Off 2025 Tour with a Bang (and some awesome openers)!

The almighty METALLICA launched their highly anticipated 2025 tour last night at the JMA Wireless Dome in Syracuse, NY, bringing along the groove metal masters PANTERA and crossover legends SUICIDAL TENDENCIES for the ride. Here’s what the thrash metal giants played to get the party started:
- “Creeping Death”
- “For Whom The Bell Tolls”
- “Hit The Lights”
- “King Nothing”
- “Lux Æterna”
- “Screaming Suicide”
- ‘Kirk and Rob Doodle‘ (‘Broken, Beat & Scarred‘ with drum backing track) – because who doesn’t love a good doodle session?
- “The Day That Never Comes”
- “Fuel”
- “Orion” (fun fact: did you know this instrumental epic was written by Cliff Burton, James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine, and Lars Ulrich?)
- “Nothing Else Matters” (all the feels!)
- “Sad But True”
- “One”
- “Seek & Destroy”
- “Master Of Puppets”
