Metallica Announce North American Tour
Word just got out that James Hetfield is making his feature film debut as Officer Bob Hayward in the Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile, but it’s also full speed ahead for Metallica’s WorldWired arena tour. The band will be hitting 34 stops missed during the first leg of their North American tour last year, including a gigs in North and South Dakota, Alabama, and Texas, where Metallica hasn’t played in over two decades. Let’s just hope Hetfield doesn’t fall down this time.
Also, “for the first time in ‘Tallica history,” the band is offering up 250 “Wherever I May Roam Black Tickets,” which give fans floor access to every and any Metallica concert on this upcoming tour. Presumably this is for folks like Damien Lewis’ hedge fund billionaire character on Showtime’s Billions, who once flew his buddies to a Metallica show in Montreal on a private jet.
Tickets for the WorldWired Tour go on sale to the public on 3/2 via LiveNation following the Fan Club presale on 2/27. A physical or digital copy of Hardwired… To Self-Destruct will be provided with each ticket purchase.
