Apocalyptica in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Costa Rica: Plays Metallica Vol. 2 Tour Dates

Apocalyptica bring their Plays Metallica Vol. 2 run to Latin America in two legs: five dates in Brazil, Argentina and Chile from October 16 to 23, 2026, then three in Mexico and Costa Rica in January 2027. The October shows are days away, so they come first below.

The artist's site promotes the album Plays Metallica Vol. 2, cello arrangements of Metallica songs, led by the single "The Four Horsemen" featuring Rob Trujillo, and lists this run as that album cycle. The Costa Rica seller page titles its show "APOCALYPTICA Plays Metallica Vol.2 Tour + Hits".
