Metallica M72 Auckland Pop-Up Shop Exclusive Poster Artwork By Ken Taylor On November 19 2025 At Eden Park New Zealand World Tour Christmas Ugly Sweater Shirt

This exclusive Christmas ugly sweater shirt celebrates Metallica’s historic M72 World Tour performance on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at Eden Park in Auckland, New Zealand, featuring limited-edition pop-up shop artwork created by renowned Australian illustrator Ken Taylor, whose signature intricate linework and dark thematic compositions transform into festive holiday attire that uniquely combines thrash metal aesthetics with seasonal Christmas cheer for metalhead celebrations. The collectible festive merchandise showcases Ken Taylor’s ambitious vision for Metallica’s entire Australian and New Zealand M72 tour leg, where the Perth-based artist designed six interconnected posters—one for each tour stop including Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, and Auckland—that form sections of a massive panoramic “vision of hell” when displayed together, reimagined as an ugly Christmas sweater design that makes the Auckland edition an essential holiday collectible blending Taylor’s iconic skull-and-fire artwork with traditional seasonal motifs like snowflakes, Christmas trees, or winter patterns. This festive tour shirt commemorates the final date of Metallica’s November 2025 Australasian tour at Auckland’s 50,000-capacity Eden Park, where gates open at 4:30 PM with support acts Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies performing from 5:30 PM before Metallica takes the stage featuring their revolutionary in-the-round Snake Pit stage configuration that extends from the center of the stadium floor, allowing fans unprecedented proximity to James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo as they deliver their genre-defining thrash metal anthems including “Master of Puppets,” “Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters,” and tracks from their latest album “72 Seasons” released in April 2023, creating the perfect fusion of heavy metal concert memorabilia and holiday party wear. The Christmas ugly sweater represents the culmination of Metallica’s record-breaking M72 world tour that began in 2023 and spans multiple continents through 2025, with the New Zealand show marking the band’s first Auckland performance since their legendary 2013 appearance, featuring ticket prices ranging from NZD $103-3,998 for various seating options including the coveted “Nothing Else Matters” Snake Pit Experience VIP package, free public transport included with concert tickets, and Ken Taylor’s limited-edition artwork available exclusively at the official merchandise pop-up shop transformed into festive holiday apparel perfect for metalheads attending Christmas parties, ugly sweater contests, or celebrating the holiday season while honoring over 40 years of Metallica’s thrash metal dominance.
