Metallica: the setlist for the concert in Bologna at Stadio Dall'Ara

02-06-2026

The Italian date of the Metallica tour is drawing closer, and anticipation is building for the show at Bologna's Stadio Dall'Ara. On Wednesday 3 June, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Robert Trujillo and Lars Ulrich will bring the tour's only Italian date to the stage, before moving on to cities such as Budapest, Dublin, Glasgow, Cardiff and London. According to available information, the concert will kick off at 8:30 pm at the Stadio Dall'Ara (via Andrea Costa 174). As for the setlist, the 30 May show in Berlin offers a plausible reference point for the structure of the performance, blending consolidated classics with more recent tracks. Here, then, is the likely setlist for the Metallica show in Bologna:

  • Creeping Death
  • For Whom the Bell Tolls
  • Of Wolf and Man
  • The Memory Remains
  • 72 Seasons
  • The Unforgiven
  • Fuel
  • Kirk and Rob Doodle
  • The Day That Never Comes
  • Wherever I May Roam
  • Nothing Else Matters
  • Sad but True
  • One
  • Seek & Destroy
  • Master of Puppets
  • Enter Sandman

The setlist follows Metallica's typical blueprint: a high-intensity opening, an alternation between classic repertoire and more recent material, and a closing run built around a sequence of iconic tracks. There's no guarantee the Bologna setlist will be identical, but the structure and much of the track selection should stay in line with this pattern.

Metallica have also officially announced a limited-edition deluxe reissue of their seventh studio album, “ReLoad”, due out on 26 June 2026. The release marks the thirtieth anniversary of the album's original release on 18 November 1997, which at the time debuted straight at number one in numerous international charts, cementing the band's peak phase of commercial exposure.
Conceived as a natural follow-up to “Load” (1996) and recorded during the same sessions, “ReLoad” brings together some of the most representative songs of that era, including “The Memory Remains”, “The Unforgiven II” and “Fuel”.
The remastered reissue stands as one of the most extensive projects ever devoted to the band's catalogue. The box set includes 15 CDs and 4 DVDs, offering extensive documentation of the studio work and live activity from that period. The material includes previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, rarities and B-sides.
The video section brings together archival footage, behind-the-scenes material, TV appearances and live recordings, including the concert in the parking lot of Philadelphia's CoreStates Complex and several dates from the tour in Seoul.
Alongside the audio and video content, the box set is rounded out by a series of collectible items:

  • A double 180-gram vinyl LP and CD reissue of "ReLoad" (Remastered)
  • a 7" single of "The Memory Remains"
  • three live LPs
  • 15 CDs and 4 DVDs with unreleased material
  • card for digital MP3 download
  • three laminated tour passes
  • “Gimme Fuel” poster (28×43 cm)
  • Pushead art print
  • sticker
  • 10 guitar picks
  • set of 13 cards inspired by the Rorschach test
  • folder with lyrics
  • 128-page hardcover book with photographs and testimonials

Alternative editions are also planned for wider distribution: double LP, 3-CD version, single CD, cassette and digital format. You can buy the set here: Metallica – ReLoad (Remastered) Super Deluxe Box Set
