What Can We Expect from Metallica on Sunday?

What a night. Metallica hit Detroit's Ford Field on Friday (Nov. 10), and they didn't disappoint. This tour has actually been going on since August, so Detroit had to wait several months to get it, but it was worth the wait. This was the best Metallica shows I've ever seen, and I've seen them three times (four, if you count their surprise short set at Orion). Now, let's get ready for night two, which takes place on Sunday (Nov. 12). So, what can we expect from Metallica on Sunday?

As aforementioned, Metallica's Detroit weekend is actually the 2023 finale of their M72 World Tour. It's the last date of the current leg of this legendary trek, so expect Sunday to bring some extra special moments between the guys. That final show is always something unique, that simply can't be replicated. So, I'm expected some touching onstage banter between the members of Metallica. Oh, and hopefully some shout-outs to the Lions, since they'll be playing on Sunday.

The trek is very unique, because it has Metallica doing a "No Repeat Weekend," with Friday's set list totally different from what the band will play on Sunday. What's more, there are different opening acts. While Friday brought Mammoth WVH and Pantera, Sunday will offer Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills. Song-wise, some of the biggest songs left off Friday's set list included "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "One," "Enter Sandman" and "If Darkness Had a Son," to name a few. I would expect to hear all of those tracks on Sunday. Also, there's a chance the guys might throw in something surprising, since it's their send off. One thing is for sure: It's been really special having Metallica in the Motor City this week and weekend. Find what you need to know about Sunday's shows here.

Night one of Metallica at Ford Field is officially in the books. It was glorious night of rock and roll with one of the biggest bands in the game. Now, we're more ready than ever for Night 2 on Sunday. Check out the full setlist from night one of Metallica in Detroit below. They played a lot of hits, but saved some of their best for Sunday.

Detroit has been buzzing for months in anticipation of Metallica coming to Ford Field. Not only are we getting two nights of Metallica, we're getting two totally different sets. Additionally, there will be two completely different openers for each night.

Pantera and Mammoth WVH opened on Friday night. That's three headline acts in one night. How could it get any better? Sunday comes close with opening acts Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills. Again, two bands who can certainly stand on their own and deliver.

The pair of shows in Detroit will wrap up the North American leg of their M72 World Tour. The band's 11th studio album, 72 Seasons, dropped in April of this year. The album currently has an impressive score of 92% on Google. Several singles have been released off the album including "72 Seasons," "Too Far Gone?," and "Lux Æterna."

Metallica is staying busy during their time here in Detroit, but Robert Trujillo made time to have an interview with Meltdown. I learned so much about Robert during this conversation. He's a Lions fan? Bonus points! James Hetfield has a sold out book signing of his upcoming book "Messengers: The Guitars Of James Hetfield" at Third Man Records on Saturday.

Below, you can check out the full setlist from the entire evening of Night 1 at Ford Field. That means the complete Metallica set, all of Pantera, and the full Mammoth WVH setlist. Now, since Metallica will be doing two totally different setlists, we can look at what was played Friday and will have a better picture of what to expect on Sunday.

It's always disappointing when the band doesn't end up playing the song you've been waiting for. This way, we'll know if they already played our favorite tracks. If they didn't, there's a good chance they'll be played on Night 2 on Sunday. Looking at the setlist, it looks like they're saving some of their best for last.
