It’s been well over a year since Metallica released their most recent album Hardwired… to Self-Destruct, but the heavy metal legends don’t seem ready to end the promotional cycle quite yet. After spending much of 2017 on the road, melting faces in massive outdoor stadiums across the world, Metallica have announced a new run of live dates in basketball arenas across North America.

Set to kick off on September 2nd in Madison, Wisconsin, the latest leg of the band’s WorldWired tour will wind it’s way across the Midwest, take them into Canada, before hitting the Northeast, West Coast and Deep South. All told, this new jaunt will keep them out on the road until March 2019 in an attempt to hit numerous markets they missed during the previous leg in 2017, including dates in El Paso, Birmingham, Alabama and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which they are playing for the first time in 25 years.
