Rammstein and Metallica Announce Epic Final World Tour: Dates and Cities Revealed

In a groundbreaking announcement that has sent shockwaves through the metal world, two of the biggest bands in heavy music history—Rammstein and Metallica—have revealed plans for an unprecedented joint final world tour. Dubbed the “End of the Road Tour,” this colossal event will mark the last time these legendary acts will perform together on a global scale, promising an unforgettable experience for fans.

The tour will kick off in Berlin, Germany, on May 15, 2025, with Rammstein’s pyro-heavy spectacle and Metallica’s thrash metal mastery sharing the stage for an explosive opening night. From there, the bands will embark on a 50-city journey across five continents, delivering a once-in-a-lifetime show that blends their signature styles into a single, earth-shaking performance.

North American fans won’t have to wait long, as the tour will hit Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York in June 2025. Stadiums like SoFi Stadium, Soldier Field, and MetLife Stadium are already preparing for the onslaught of fans eager to witness this historic event. Both bands have promised longer setlists, deep cuts from their discographies, and mind-blowing production that pushes the limits of live music.

Europe will get its fair share of the action, with stops in London, Paris, Madrid, and Moscow, among others. Rammstein’s home country of Germany will see multiple dates, including a massive show at Munich’s Olympiastadion, where the band is known for its jaw-dropping fire displays. Metallica, meanwhile, will bring their relentless energy to iconic venues like London’s Wembley Stadium.

South America, a region known for its passionate metal fanbase, will host several tour stops, including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires. Both bands have a storied history in these cities, with past performances drawing hundreds of thousands of fans. The “End of the Road Tour” is expected to break attendance records, with rumors of special guest appearances from other metal icons.

Asia and Australia will also be part of this farewell trek, with confirmed dates in Tokyo, Sydney, and Seoul. These shows will mark Rammstein’s first performances in some of these cities in over a decade, while Metallica continues their tradition of delivering high-octane shows to their devoted international fanbase.

The production value of this tour is rumored to be unmatched, with Rammstein’s infamous pyrotechnics and stage theatrics combined with Metallica’s colossal lighting and sound rigs. Insiders suggest that the bands may even collaborate on a few songs, though details remain tightly under wraps.

Tickets are set to go on sale next month, with pre-sales available for fan club members. Given the historic nature of this tour, demand is expected to be astronomical, and organizers have warned fans to prepare for quick sell-outs. VIP packages, including meet-and-greets and exclusive merchandise, will also be available.

Both bands have released statements expressing their excitement—and a touch of melancholy—about this final global run. Till Lindemann of Rammstein called it “the perfect way to say goodbye,” while James Hetfield of Metallica described it as “a celebration of decades of metal and the fans who made it possible.”

For many, this tour represents the end of an era. Rammstein and Metallica have been defining forces in metal for over 30 years, influencing countless artists and amassing legions of loyal followers. While neither band has announced a full retirement, they’ve hinted that large-scale touring will be drastically reduced after this.

Fans are already speculating about surprise setlist additions, potential collaborations, and whether this tour will spawn a live album or documentary. One thing is certain: the “End of the Road Tour” will be a monumental chapter in heavy metal history.
