Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that Metallica are back in a big way. This week the band announced its latest studio album, 72 Seasons, which will be available on April 14, and dropped the first single and video from the album "Lux Æterna." Additionally, the band announced a massive World Tour for 2023-2024 that will see the band play weekend shows around the world on Fridays and Sundays, with no song repeats. As an added bonus, the celebratory version of Pantera will be along for the ride, playing the first night in each city.
Pre-sales for the tour have already begun, and Metallica have announced a series of VIP packages—or "enhanced experiences" as they are being billed—that fans can choose from to elevate their game in style. Below is a poster listing each potential option, and we have to admit, some of them are pretty wild!
The most hardcore of options is the "I Disappear" ticket, which—for a pretty decent sum—you can see Metallica with ease at as many of their shows as you can stand for two straight years, and the band will make it the most enjoyable trip you've ever had! That said, nothing can beat the "Lux Æterna" package, which for $7,000, can get you pretty much everything you need to rock!
