Metallica announce Five Finger Death Punch replaced by Floor Jansen of Nightwish on M72 Kickoff date

Metallica has announced that Five Finger Death Punch will not be performing with them at the M72 world tour kickoff in Amsterdam on April 29 due to "unforeseen circumstances". Nightwish's Floor Jansen will be taking their place. The tour will feature Metallica performing twice in each location with entirely different sets each night, accompanied by a different pair of openers for each performance.

Architects and Mammoth WVH will be the special guests for the first show on April 27 at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. Previously, Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills were also scheduled to perform at the same location, but Jansen, promoting her new solo album Paragon, has now been added to the lineup instead of FFDP.
