Metallica have revealed the details of the 2018-2019 North American leg of their WorldWired tour in support of their latest studio album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct.

The 34-date WorldWired trek kicks off September 2 in Madison, Wisconsin and runs through March 13 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Tickets go on sale to the public starting March 2 at Live Nation and the Fan Club presale begins February 27. Each ticket purchase will be accompanied by a physical or digital copy of Hardwired… To Self-Destruct.

“Following last summer’s sold-out 25-date stadium run, this year we’re bringing the in-the-round WorldWired production currently being seen in European arenas to the U.S. and Canada kicking off on September 2, 2018, in Madison, WI,” the band said in a statement. “Along the way we’ll be visiting 34 cities we did not go to last year, including a few we 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). About time, wouldn’t you say?!

“The fall/winter tour will mark a few firsts for us as each show will get rolling with the Light It Up pre-show party hosted by our very good friend Jim Breuer. Jim, along with a DJ to get the night rocking with some great tunes, hits the stage before us with comedy, fan interaction, giveaways and much more. And if you love to travel and one show just isn’t enough, then perhaps the Wherever I May Roam Black Ticket is for you! For the first time in ‘Tallica history, you may purchase one ticket that will allow you floor access to any Metallica show on the 2018/2019 North American tour. Feel like trucking to Tulsa? Booking to Boise? Motoring to Minneapolis? No problem… you pick the show, call us no less than 48 hours before the gig and you’re in! A limited number of 250 of these Black Tickets will be available for $598 (yes… we are celebrating the re-issue of the Garage Days Re-Revisited EP!).”

Metallica played eight shows in Europe earlier this month and has another 16 dates booked between now and mid-May. Their European tour included the first drone swarm for a major touring act. It consisted of 120 autonomous micro drones that emerge from the main-stage prop lifts during the song ‘Moth Into Flames’ and swarm into several formations over the band’s heads, according to Pollstar.
