Metallica Announces The WorldWired European Tour


Metallica will be bringing the “Worldwired” tour to the States this Summer, and then they are off to Europe. The heavy metal legends have just confirmed the European leg of the tour, along with this statement from Metallica.com: “Immediately following our run of shows opening the new Royal Arena in Copenhagen last month we promised we would be back to Europe this year… and we will!! The WorldWired tour hits European arenas starting in September and doesn’t stop until May of 2018! Kicking off on September 4thin Amsterdam (following the rescheduled Copenhagen show on September 2nd) we’ll be covering all corners of the continent from Lisbon to Helsinki, Oslo to Budapest and beyond. Our Norwegian friends Kvelertak have signed on to take this wild ride with us for the duration of the European portion of the tour. See below for a complete list of all confirmed dates and please note that no additional shows will be added in this part of the world in the immediate future, so you can plan your own leg of the tour now.

Just like we did for the North American shows, and you all responded in a big way, every ticket purchased includes your choice of a standard physical or standard digital copy of Hardwired…To Self-Destruct. Keep it for yourself or gift it to a friend or family member… you’ll receive info via e-mail after your ticket purchase on how to obtain your copy.*
