Excitement is building on r/coachella, sparked by a promotional poster for Metallica’s M72 World Tour, hinting at their possible appearance at Coachella 2026. The tour currently lists European dates from May through July 2026, featuring impressive openers like Gojira, Knocked Loose, Pantera, and Avatar.
Festival-goers are buzzing with speculation about Metallica headlining next year’s festival, with fans throwing out dream co-headliners such as Nine Inch Nails, Tool, Ghost, Kendrick Lamar, and Silk Sonic. Conversations also touch on bands like Limp Bizkit potentially joining the lineup and hope for a Big Four metal reunion.
It’s important to note that Metallica has not officially been confirmed for Coachella 2026. The band’s recent festival activity includes co-headlining Power Trip 2023 in Indio alongside Iron Maiden and Guns N’ Roses, which makes their 2026 Coachella outing plausible but unannounced.
