METALLICA has shared professionally filmed video of the “Creeping Death” and “King Nothing” performances from the band’s 2026 “M72” world tour kick-off concert, which took place on May 9 at the Olympic Stadium (OAKA) in Athens. Support at the gig came from GOJIRA and KNOCKED LOOSE.

METALLICA’s performance at Athens’s Olympic Stadium marked the band’s first Greek appearance since 2010. The sold-out show — reportedly attended by 85,000 fans — was part of the “M72” world tour in support of METALLICA’s eleventh studio album, “72 Seasons”, which came out in 2023. It was the group’s fifth performance in Greece. METALLICA previously played in the country in 1993, 1999, 2007 and 2010.
