They dropped a few hints this past weekend and now it is official… Metallica’s WorldWired Tour returns to North America this Fall.

Following last summer’s 25 date sold-out stadium run, this year Metallica is bringing the in-the-round production currently being seen in European arenas to the U.S. and Canada kicking off on September 2, 2018, in Madison, WI.

Along the way they will be visiting 34 cities that they did not go to last year, and a few that they haven’t been to in decades, including Grand Forks, ND (nearly 30 years), Sioux Falls, SD, El Paso, Birmingham, AL (nearly 26 years) and State College, PA (20 years).

The Fall/Winter tour will mark a few firsts for the band. Each show will get rolling with the Light It Up pre-show party hosted by their very good friend Jim Breuer.

Jim, along with a DJ to get the night rocking with some great tunes, hits the stage before the band with comedy, fan interaction, giveaways and much more.

For those Metallica fans that love to travel and one show just isn’t enough, promoters are offering the “Wherever I May Roam Black Ticket.”

Fans may purchase one ticket that will allow floor access to any Metallica show on the 2018/2019 North American tour.  Fans simply pick the show, call no less than 48 hours before the gig and they’re in.  A limited number of 250 of these Black Tickets* will be available for $598 (yes… celebrating the re-issue of the Garage Days Re-Revisited EP!).  All sale dates and times below.

As they have been doing for most of the WorldWired shows, every ticket purchased includes a choice of a standard physical or standard digital copy of Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. Fans will receive info via e-mail after their ticket purchase on how to obtain your copy. Fans should expect to receive information from Warner Music Artist Services on how to redeem their albums within 21 business days after their purchase. Full details of how you can gift the album, should you have already purchased, will be given on the redemption page.

Finally, Metallica continue to raise funds for their All Within My Hands Foundation, which supports a cross-section of national, local and Bay Area charities, music education programs and local food banks. Continuing their collaboration with Crowdrise, Metallica encourages fans to make a donation when purchasing tickets to the upcoming shows and each time they donate, they’ll be entered to win tickets, pre-show party passes, meet and greet passes, and one lucky winner will be flown to the last show on the tour.
