Apocalyptica Plays Metallica Vol. 2 Tour

Enter Apocalyptica.

They’re one of metal’s greatest and most unlikely successes. They are legends. They have come full circle with their mind-blowing Metallica covers, both on album and on tour, and they are pulling into Seattle’s legendary Moore Theatre on 25 February 2025 with their Plays Metallica Vol. 2 tour alongside guitar virtuoso Nita Strauss!

The cellists from Helsinki that brought you smash hits such as “Not Strong Enough”, “Nothing Else Matters”, “The Unforgiven”, and “I Don’t Care” have dropped the follow-up to their legendary debut album and will be embarking on a massive tour in support thereof, kicking off in Washington.

Come watch the cello become a rock instrument; indulge in the flair and passion Apocalyptica brings; be blown away by the huge wall of sound; and bask in a virtuoso performance unlike any other!

Tickets are selling from only $61 and are flying faster than a bow across the strings, so hit that button now and snag up those front-row seats!

When classical minds meet heavy metal, cellos turn into rock instruments. When heavy metal minds meet classical, a massive wall of sound is bound to shake the earth. When Apocalyptica takes the stage, metal becomes classical, and classical becomes metal; passion rules all, and a unique entity is brought to life.

Fact: Apocalyptica’s musicianship is second to none, and the opening notes of their concert alone are worth the dollar spent.

Apocalyptica first broke into the scene in 1996 with their debut album, “Plays Metallica By Four Cellos”, containing only eight Metallica covers, such as “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)”, “Sad But True”, “Enter Sandman”, “Master Of Puppets”, and “The Unforgiven”. Initially they were a classical-style tribute band but soon adopted a neoclassical metal style, canning the use of electric guitars and bass – a total game changer for cross-over genres. Apocalyptica has also expanded their focus to covering the music of other bands, such as Faith No More, Sepultura, and Pantera. Their recordings also include collaborations with some metal greats, such as Till Lindemann of Rammstein, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Dave Lombardo of Slayer, and Joseph Duplantier of Gojira.

It has been 28 years since the release of “Plays Metallica by Four Cellos”, but their journey has been one filled with success. Apocalyptica released eight rapturously received albums, sold over 6 million albums worldwide, and tours relentlessly, playing to sold-out crowds across the globe. “Plays Metallica Vol. 2” picks up from where they last stopped. The album features new Metallica covers such as “The Unforgiven II” and “The Four Horsemen”, powerful and hair-raising collaborations with Metallica members such as a new recording of “One” with Metallica vocalist James Hetfield reciting the lyrics and bassist Robert Trujillo, and a cover of “The Call of Ktulu” featuring the original bass master track as recorded by Cliff Burton.

The historic Moore Theatre on 1932 Second Avenue, Seattle, has been an integral part of the city’s artistic life for more than a century. Don’t be deceived by the plain exterior; the inside is spectacular, boasting 1,800 seats across the main floor and balcony with exceptional sightlines. The theatre is intimate enough to give you that up-close and personal experience with one of the most unique and fantastic bands on tour today!
