Exit LIGHT.

Enter NIGHT.

Then, take a right off the New Jersey Turnpike and it’s off to the Meadow, Meadowlands.

On Friday, Aug. 4 and Sunday, Aug. 6, Metallica is kicking off their ‘M72 Tour’ with back-to-back concerts at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium.

For the two shows, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have promised no repeats — both gigs will have completely unique set lists and opening acts.

And while we don’t know what songs the metal pioneers will play, we do know that Pantera, Mammoth WVH, Five Finger Death Punch and Ice Nine Kills are the scheduled special guests.

But wait! There’s more!

Somehow, two-day passes for Metallica’s mini-MetLife residency are just about the same price as single-day tickets.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on two-day passes was $65 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Last-minute, single-day tickets start at $61 before fees.

Here’s a little background on each of Metallica’s opening acts for nights one and two of the M72 Tour.

Pantera are major headliners in their own right as well. Formed in 1981, the group has sold approximately 20 million records worldwide and has received four Grammy nominations over the past four decades. Just a few of their biggest hits include “Walk,” “Cowboys From Hell,” and “Cemetery Gates.”

Mammoth WVH is Wolfgang Van Halen’s rock band. For those wondering, yes, Van Halen is the son of guitar legend Eddie Van Halen. In 2021, the group released its first album, “Mammoth WVH.” Prior to this run, the group co-headlined a tour with Dirty Honey in early 2022.

Five Finger Death Punch, originally from Las Vegas, slays. Active since 2005, the five-member outfit recently toured with Megadeth, The Hu, and Fire from the Gods. They’re not going anywhere anytime soon, either. Lead singer Ivan Moody recently said, “I can’t quit…I ain’t going anywhere,” in an interview with Revolver.

Ice Nine Kills has released six albums since their 2000 inception. In the 22 years since they got their start, the band has made a name for itself with their “horror-inspired lyrics.” Literature fans, in case you were wondering, the answer is yes. The group’s name is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut’s seminal 1963 novel “Cat’s Cradle.”

Although no tour this year will rock quite as hard as Metallica’s, many of the biggest names in metal will be on the road these next few months.

Here are just five tours that should turn the volume up all the way up to 11 in the near future.

• Rob Zombie with Alice Cooper

• Mötley Crüe & Def Leppard

• Avenged Sevenfold

• Disturbed

• Mudvayne
