Metallica Announce Second North American Leg of ‘WorldWired Tour’

The iconic Metallica have announced a massive new collection of tour dates as part of second North American leg of their WorldWired Tour. Coming back to our side of the world in the Fall of 2018 after last summer’s 25 date sold-out trek, Metallica will be updating their live set to include in-the-round production currently being seen in European arenas.

The group will be kicking things off on September 2, 2018, in Madison, WI and will go on to play until 2019 before crowds across 34 cities that they did not visit 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, TX, Birmingham, AL (nearly 26 years) and State College, PA (20 years).

One of the new components for this tour includes the Light It Up pre-show party hosted by Jim Breuer, during which the comedian will be joined by a DJ to play some tunes, perform some comedy, gifting giveaways and much more.  The band is also offering the Wherever I May Roam Black Ticket, which allows fans to purchase one ticket that will allow them floor access to any Metallica show on the 2018/2019 North American tour.  A limited number of 250 of these Black Tickets* will be available for $598.

Check out the itinerary and more details below. 

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 encourage you to make a donation when purchasing tickets to the upcoming shows and each time you donate, you’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.
