When Metallica brings its explosive M72 World Tour to Perth’s Optus Stadium on November 1, 2025, a unique piece of art was born to capture the moment. The band collaborated with legendary artist Ben Brown to create the official poster for the show—a collectible that is not just for the event, but a symbol honoring the unique connection between Metallica and Western Australia.
When Metallica brought their explosive M72 World Tour to Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, on November 1, 2025, it marked an unforgettable night of power, passion, and pure heavy metal energy. To capture that moment, this inspired artwork was created — a stunning design that celebrates the connection between Metallica and Western Australia.
The Black Swan — A Symbol of Power, Pride, and Perth
At the heart of this inspired artwork lies the Black Swan — the proud emblem of Western Australia and a timeless symbol of strength and grace. But in this reimagined design inspired by Ben Brown’s artistic vision, the swan is far from calm.
Crowned and fierce, it spreads its magnificent wings against a blazing red-orange sun, a symbol of power, rebellion, and transformation. Surrounding it, the cool oceanic blues contrast sharply with the fiery tones, creating a striking balance between heat and ice, life and decay — a perfect visual echo of Metallica’s music.
Beneath the swan lies a sea of skulls — a classic nod to Metallica’s iconography. These skulls, rendered in icy blue, represent the enduring generations of fans who have stood with the band through decades of evolution. This fusion of Perth’s heritage and Metallica’s heavy metal legacy creates an image that is both symbolic and unforgettable.
A Vision Inspired by Ben Brown’s Signature Style
The design draws inspiration from the unmistakable style of Ben Brown, one of Australia’s most influential artists known for his surf, skate, and rock ‘n’ roll-inspired illustrations.
Every element — from the intricate feathers of the swan to the fiery blaze and skeletal landscape — reflects Brown’s mastery of dynamic contrast. The fiery reds and oranges collide beautifully with the icy blues and whites, symbolizing the raw duality of Metallica’s sound: aggression and beauty, chaos and harmony.
This inspired artwork captures that exact energy — an homage to Metallica’s music and the spirit of Perth. It’s more than a poster; it’s a collectible piece of rock-inspired art, worthy of display in any home or gallery.
