Metallica fans in Perth are in for an electrifying weekend as the band unveils a brand-new **exclusive pop-up shop poster** created by acclaimed illustrator **Ken Taylor**. Known for his bold use of color, intricate detail, and unmistakable design style, Taylor has crafted a limited-edition piece that marks the **first installment in a larger interconnected poster series** tied to the band’s ongoing **M72 World Tour**.
This collector’s item will be **available only at the #M72Perth Pop-Up Shop**, making it one of the most sought-after and rare items of this tour cycle. Fans hoping to secure one are strongly encouraged to arrive early, as **only a limited number of prints will be released each day** — and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
The pop-up, located at **Murray Street Mall, 239 Murray Street, Perth WA 6000**, will be open:
* **Friday:** 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM (with Ken Taylor live!)
* **Saturday:** 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM
* **Sunday:** 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM
But Friday is nothing short of a **must-attend** day:
Ken Taylor himself will appear at the pop-up **at 10 AM** to **sign merchandise, meet fans, and even do a live painting session**. This is a rare opportunity for collectors to own not just a limited-edition print, but one **personally signed** by the artist who created it.
### **A Poster Designed for the Die-Hard Fans**
This Perth poster isn’t just a standalone piece — it’s the **first part of a bigger visual story**. As Metallica travels to various cities, Taylor’s design series will reveal new sections that connect together to form a larger, unified image. It’s a concept that blends the **collectible excitement of touring merch** with the storytelling depth of Metallica’s music itself.
The Perth installment sets the tone, featuring Taylor’s signature mix of dramatic contrast, surreal imagery, and bold symbolism tied to Metallica’s sonic identity. Expect sharp line work, deep textures, and a design that feels unmistakably **M72** — heavy, intense, and alive.
### **A Celebration of Community, Art, and Music**
Pop-up shops have become more than merch stops for Metallica fans. They’ve evolved into lively fan hubs — places where the Metallica Family meets, reunites, and shares their love for a band that has shaped rock history for over four decades. These events often include exclusive apparel, vinyl drops, rare reprints, performance art, giveaways, and live fan interactions.
With Ken Taylor present and participating, the Perth pop-up has an added layer of creative energy. Fans will get to watch the artist at work and learn how the designs connect to the band’s evolving visual identity.
### **Why Fans Are Excited**
For many, this poster represents:
* A memory from the **M72 Tour**
* A **limited-run collectible** tied to a specific city
* The **beginning of a multi-part artwork series**
* A chance to **meet Ken Taylor in person**
* A display-worthy art piece that captures the spirit of Metallica
Collectors have already taken to social media to warn others: **arrive early**. Metallica merchandise, especially artist-collaboration posters, is known to sell out fast. Past tour posters have become high-value collector’s items, often fetching significant prices on aftermarket platforms — though fans know the real value is sentimental.
### **Don’t Miss Your Chance**
Whether you’re a Perth local, traveling fan, long-time collector, or someone attending your very first Metallica weekend, the #M72Perth Pop-Up Shop is shaping up to be **the centerpiece of the tour stop**.
